2.5 Guessing The Distribution of Dataset 2

The document discusses the characteristics of a uniform distribution observed in a dataset, highlighting its non-Gaussian nature, low skewness, and negative kurtosis. It presents statistical analysis including variance, mean, and chi-square tests, concluding that the data follows a uniform distribution based on the results. The null hypothesis is accepted as the calculated chi-square value is less than the tabulated value, indicating the dataset aligns with uniform distribution expectations.

5 Guessing the Distribution of Dataset 2

Uniform Distribution

• Peaks on either side, but it's not symmetric in nature, in the sense there is no stepwise decrease
on either side.
• So, it's a non-Gaussian, somewhat symmetric.

{('Variance Observed', 7.07), ('Mean Observed', 54.93),


('Skew Observed', 0.18), ('Kurt Observed', -0.87)}

• Between the minimum and 25%, 25% to 50%, 50% to 75%, and 75% to maximum, the intervals
are around 2.
mi n + max 50 + 60 110
• = = = 55 = mean . We can assume that this comes from uniform which is
2 2 2

between 50 and 60 .

• Variance or the standard deviation is very small and it is symmetric.

• From these numbers, we can conclude that it's a uniform distribution. Because between the
quantiles, the split is almost the same, and the standard deviation is very small.

• Kurtosis is negative.

• Generally for normal distributions the Kurtosis would be around 3. So it cannot be a normal.

• Skewness is very low. So, it's not skewed to either side. It is centred.

Q-Q plot w.r.t Uniform

P-P plot w.r.t Uniform

From both plots, we can see that the observed points are very close to the red line.
So, it's a uniform distribution.

NULL HYPOTHESIS: The given data follows Uniform distribution.

ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: The given data does not follow Uniform distribution

• Each observation is observed frequency.

• Expected frequency for each observation = mean = 54. 925080

Calculated chi square statistic = 6.31


p-value = 0.99

• p-value > α
We accept the null.
df = k − p − 1 = 50 − 0 − 1 = 49

k = 50 : number of observations

p = 0 : for uniform distribution

Tabulated Chi Square value = 66. 34

Tabulated value > Calculated value


We accept the null.

Case examples • Throwing a die. The probability of getting each side is 16 . It's a uniform distribution.

• Fuel Efficiency. If you put one litre petrol/diesel, every time you would get a different mileage. It
could be 50, 52, 47. In case you're a rash driver, it could be low, say 40, 42.
