Biostatistics Review Question 20

Question
For each statement below, indicate which distribution the statement applies to (Normal, binomial, or poisson):



Appropriate for analyses of continuous variables 



Appropriate for analyses of binary/dichotomous variables 



Commonly used in the analyses of rare dichotomous events 



This distribution is the foundation upon which hypothesis and confidence interval theory has been developed 



Every _________________ distribution can be described by its mean and standard deviation   



To calculate the variance of a variable with a ______________ distribution, you only need to know the probability of the outcome. 



Because the it is difficult to use the _________________ distribution for large sample sizes, the normal distribution is typically used to approximate it when the sample size is large. 



The ____________ distribution approximates the binomial distribution well when the sample size is large and the probability of the outcome variable is not too close to 0 or 1. 



The mean and variance of a variable that follows the ______________ distribution are equal to each other
