Lissajous Curves Lissajous curves are created by plotting two oscillations on perpendicular axes and ​​​. These oscillations, represented by sinusoidal functions, intersect to create different patterns. When the ratio of these frequencies is equal to — the oscillations are equally phased— the curve is a straight line.

RQ: What exactly is the CLT and what’s the deal with n 30? CLT - mathematical definition and simple terms definition How we use CLT How to know when empirical distribution converges to normal distribution? How did we come up with n $ $ 30? Cohen (1991) Taught that at least 30 observations were needed to use critical-ratio approach used in t-tables when comparing groups.
