Tutorial Sheet Unit 5

This tutorial sheet provides problems to solve using concepts of binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions, as well as correlation and regression. It contains 20 problems of varying difficulty levels that allow students to apply these statistical concepts to real world scenarios like calculating probabilities of events, determining expected values, finding correlation coefficients and lines of regression from data sets. The main objective is for students to learn how to use these distributions and statistical techniques to solve practical problems.
