What I learned past week #1
This past week has been hectic. My sophomore year has brought up a lot of academic pressure on me. I am still trying to maintain a proper balance. But, still I am doing a number of stuff alongside my academic studies. On the first class of our Stat-201 course, my fellow Omar asked an interesting question. It's something like this: Suppose, you have a population of 1000 individuals and then you take samples of 100 for some statistical enquiry; how would the results differ if you take 2 samples of 100 individuals first replacing and then not replacing? I think if the population has a symmetric Gaussian distribution, then maybe two sampling methods would hardly show any difference. But, what about skewed distributions? I am trying to write a C++ code to conduct the experiment in this case. But, I am stuck in a part. I will try again later. Last Friday night, I was solving HW problem of CP's classical mechanics course. And for this I had to study the beaded stri...
