Review of Probability Distributions
Keyword(s):
In Chapter 2, probability distributions are presented; the distributions exposed are those with more relation to the analysis and study of waiting lines; discrete distributions: binomial, geometric, Poisson; continuous distributions: uniform, exponential, erlang, and normal. Confidence intervals are calculated for some of the parameters of the distributions. A brief example of the generation of pseudorandom exponential times using a spreadsheet is presented. The chapter closes with the goodness-of-fit tests of probability distributions, especially the Anderson-Darling test. The statistical language of programming R is used in the exercises performed. Several codes are proposed in R Language to perform calculations automatically.
