Histogram of number of units selected

In summary, a histogram of number of units selected is a graphical representation of the frequency distribution of a set of data. It is constructed by dividing the data into intervals or bins and plotting the number of units within each interval on the vertical axis. This type of histogram can provide information about the distribution of the data, such as shape, center, and spread, and can also identify any outliers or unusual patterns. It differs from a bar graph in that it is used for continuous data and the bars are typically touching. The advantages of using a histogram of number of units selected include its ability to summarize large amounts of data and quickly identify common values and trends.

I have some things that have a 7% chance of being blue, 10 of these things are put in a box. What is the percent chance that the box will have exactly one blue thing? Two blue things? and so on..

I have simulated this and came up with the following (all appx)
0 - 37%
1 - 37%
2 - 18%
3 - 5%
4 - 1.2%
5 - 0.12%

What equations do I use to solve this exactly?

Prob[k out of 10 things are blue] = 10!/(k! (10 - k)!) .07^k (1 - .07)^(10 - k).

What is a histogram of number of units selected?

A histogram of number of units selected is a graphical representation of the frequency distribution of a set of data. It shows the number of times a particular value or range of values occurs in the data set.

How is a histogram of number of units selected constructed?

To construct a histogram of number of units selected, the data set is first divided into intervals or bins. The number of units falling within each interval is then counted and plotted on the vertical axis. The horizontal axis represents the intervals or bins.

What information can be obtained from a histogram of number of units selected?

A histogram of number of units selected can provide information about the distribution of the data set, such as the shape, center, and spread. It can also show any outliers or unusual patterns in the data.

How is a histogram of number of units selected different from a bar graph?

A histogram of number of units selected is similar to a bar graph in that it uses bars to represent data. However, a histogram is used for continuous data, whereas a bar graph is used for discrete data. The bars in a histogram are also typically touching, while in a bar graph they are separated.

What are the advantages of using a histogram of number of units selected?

A histogram of number of units selected is a useful tool for visualizing and summarizing large amounts of data. It can quickly identify the most common values and trends in the data, and can also help identify any outliers or unusual patterns that may require further investigation.
