Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti
Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Introductory statistics textbooks typically develop the concept of continuous random variables with a discussion of only the variables' probability distribution function and omit any discussion of the cumulative distribution function. The cumulative distribution function, however, is useful in developing the concepts of a normal distribution, the standard normal distribution and the probability of a continuous random variable falls within a specific range of values since the standard normal statistical table is derived from the cumulative distribution function. This paper develops a simple graphical relationship between a continuous random variables' cumulative distribution function and its probability distribution function that can be …

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Thompson responds to Valverde's argument, in the last issue, that his approach to Risk puts too much emphasis on the distinction between Risk subjectivism and Risk objectivism. In doing so, he asserts, inter alia, that anchoring Risk judgments in a probabilistic framework does not go far enough in rejecting reigning Risk-analysis notions of "real Risk."
