Hi,
I have a dataset of 78.903 news articles pertaining to 340 corporate
takeovers.
Mean 231.3871 [articles per takeover]
Std. Dev. 673.6395
I would like to calculate the probability of a certain number of
news articles if I had more takeovers available.
How likely is it to have X articles if I had Y takeovers?
You should submit homework ( or self-learning-general-stats questions)
to other lists. In the old days this meant one of the sci.stat.*
groups, but they are now over-run by spammers. Now the stats.exchange
website is probably the best resource.
