<p>A standard normal table, also called the unit normal table or Z table,

<p>The standard score is the number of standard deviations an observation
or datum is above or below the mean. Thus, a positive standard score
represents a datum above the mean, while a negative standard score
represents a datum below the mean. It is a dimensionless quantity
obtained by subtracting the population mean from an individual raw
score and then dividing the difference by the population standard
deviation.</p>
<p>The z-score is only defined if one knows the population parameters;
if one only has a sample set, then the analogous computation with
sample mean and sample standard deviation yields the
Students t-statistic.</p>

5! = 5 <em> 4 </em> 3 <em> 2 </em> 1. This is going in the opposite direction,
counting from 2 up to the number in question, and since anything
multiplied by 1 is itself, the loop only needs to start at 2.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution">Bernoulli distribution</a>
is the probability discrete
distribution of a random variable which takes value 1 with success
probability <code>p</code> and value 0 with failure
probability <code>q</code> = 1 - <code>p</code>. It can be used, for example, to represent the
toss of a coin, where “1” is defined to mean “heads” and “0” is defined
to mean “tails” (or vice versa). It is
a special case of a Binomial Distribution
where <code>n</code> = 1.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodness_of_fit#Pearson.27s_chi-squared_test">χ2 (Chi-Squared) Goodness-of-Fit Test</a>
uses a measure of goodness of fit which is the sum of differences between observed and expected outcome frequencies
(that is, counts of observations), each squared and divided by the number of observations expected given the
hypothesized distribution. The resulting χ2 statistic, <code>chi_squared</code>, can be compared to the chi-squared distribution
to determine the goodness of fit. In order to determine the degrees of freedom of the chi-squared distribution, one
takes the total number of observed frequencies and subtracts the number of estimated parameters. The test statistic
follows, approximately, a chi-square distribution with (k c) degrees of freedom where <code>k</code> is the number of non-empty
cells and <code>c</code> is the number of estimated parameters for the distribution.</p>
