In erictleung/poofsi: Learn concepts from Nature's "Points of Significance"

Description

Creates a density plot with mean and standard deviation annotations.

Usage

population_dist(mu = 0, std = 1, n = 100)

Arguments

mu	population mean
std	population standard deviation
n	integer; sample size

Details

This function aims to show that the mean, standard deviation, and sample size of the distribution can influence the distribution's shape and size.

Value

Creates density plot with annotations plus prints out mean and standard deviation

Examples

population_dist()                # Mean = 0, Stdev = 1, N = 100
population_dist(mu = 2)          # Mean = 2, Stdev = 1, N = 100
population_dist(mu = 1, std = 3) # Mean = 1, Stdev = 3, N = 100
population_dist(std = 3, n = 10) # Mean = 0, Stdev = 3, N = 10
