The consequences of Maternal Mortality (MM) cannot be overemphasized. It inhibits population growth resulting into loss of lives among others. This work tends to obtain the maternal mortality rates (MMR) in Nigeria, identify some fitted distributions to MMR and determine which of the distributions best fits the data. A comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) was carried on MM and the MMRs...

In this paper, we study properties of exp-uniform distribution and its applications. We provide closed forms for the density function and moments of order statistics and we also discuss estimation of the parameters via the maximum likelihood method. We will present certain characterizations of exp-uniform distribution. The applications of this distribution are illustrated by fitting it to three...

Fiber lengths were analyzed for random samples of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) fibers and wood particles taken from eleven different populations. For six of the samples, the lognormal distribution fit the data, while the Weibull distribution did not. For three of the samples, the Weibull fit the data, while the lognormal did not. For two of the samples, both the lognormal and Weibull fit the...

The normal curve has been used to fit the rate of both world and US oil production. In this article we give the first theoretical basis for these curve fittings. It is well known that oil field sizes can be modeled by independent samples from a lognormal distribution. We show that when field sizes are lognormally distributed, the starting time of the production of a field is approximately a lin...
