Mastering Central Limit Theorem (CLT) with Intuitive Examples
Let’s explore the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) with an example of rolling two dice multiple times (let’s say 30 times). We will calculate the mean of the two dice values and plot its distribution to understand the CLT intuitively. Round 1: We roll the dice and get 2 and 5.
Why does a 20 year old have access to TS/SCI and what do we do about it?
This is not the first time a young person has had authorized access to substantial amounts oftop secret sensitive compartmented information (TS/SCI) and leaked it. How could thishappen? It’s easy to understand… What do 20-year old people do in the military? Among other things, they are in the field being
Demystifying Degrees of Freedom with Visual Examples: A Beginner’s Guide
The concept of degrees of freedom is essential in statistical analysis, and it is commonly used in various statistical tests. In this blog post, we will explore A) Without any restriction B) With a restriction C) Degrees of freedom in contingency tables D) Bessel’s correction with examples. This will help
A Beginner’s Guide to t-tests: Real-life Applications of t-test: One-Sample, Two Sample and Paired Sample t-test
William Sealy Gosset, an English statistician who was also a beer brewer, developed the t-test. He used this test to ensure the consistency and quality of the beer he produced. Gosset published his work under the pseudonym “Student”, which is why the t-test is also known as the Student’s t-test.
Basics of Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology has gained popularity in recent times. This article covers some of the fundamental concepts associated with it, including: What is blockchain? Why do we need blockchain?
