In exams.forge: Support for Compiling Examination Tasks using the 'exams' Package

Calculating Square Roots of np(1-p) Combinations

Description

Computes sqrt(n*p*(1-p)) for all combinations of n and p. If the result has only digits after the decimal point, then n, p, and sqrt(n*p*(1-p)) are returned in a data frame.

Usage

sqrtnp(n, p, digits = 2, tol = 10^(-digits - 4))

Arguments

n	numeric: vector of observations numbers
p	numeric: vector of probabilities
digits	numeric: number of digits to check (default: 2)
tol	numeric: tolerance (default: 10^(-digits-4))

Details

If abs(v-round(v, digits))<tol then a number v is considered as a number with only digits after the decimal point.

Value

A data frame with the columns n, p, np (=np) and snp (=sqrt(np(1-p))).

Examples

n <- 30:250
p <- (10:40)/100
sqrtnp(n, p)
