    Biofuels and bioprospecting for beginners

    Biofuels and bioprospecting for beginners

    Biofuels can provide energy without the reliance on environmentally harmful fossils fuels -- but scientists are still searching for a plentiful source. Craig A. Kohn demonstrates how cellulose, the naturally abundant tough walls of plant cells, might be the solution.

    Deciding if a distribution is Binomial or Poisson

    Deciding if a distribution is Binomial or Poisson

    In this video we look at how to decide for a given scenario (worded problem) if the distribution described is a Binomial distribution or Poisson distribution and whether its probability distribution function or its cumulative distribution function is required to calculate a specified probability.

    Calculation of probabilities in a Binomial distribution, using tables

    Calculation of probabilities in a Binomial distribution, using tables

    In this video we look at how to use statistical tables to calculate probabilities in a Binomial distribution. This includes an example of using the table for the probability density function to determine the probability the random variable takes a particular value and an example of using the table for the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability the random variable is less than or equal to a certain value and an example determining the probability it is greater than or equal to a certain value.
