18.X.5. Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does the CDF represent?

   Hint

   Think about cumulative probabilities.

2. 2.

   If p = 0.5 and n = 4, what is the maximum value of k in a CDF?

   Hint

   Remember, k cannot exceed n.

3. 3.

   What does the CDF stand for and what does it measure?

   Hint

   Focus on what the term CDF means.

4. 4.

   True or False: The CDF can only be used for continuous distributions.

   Hint

   Consider different types of distributions.

5. 5.

   Calculate the cumulative probability for a binomial distribution with n = 10, p = 0.3, for k = 3. Detail each step.

   Hint

   Use the formula for PMF to compute individual success rates.

6. 6.

   Discuss how changing the probability 'p' affects the shape of the CDF graph.

   Hint

   Consider probabilities and how they accumulate.
