    Drawing
In summary, the person is asking for help in drawing a graph in Statistic using tikz and pgfplots. The graph is related to the confidence interval for a binomial distribution, with the $p$ and $f$ axes representing the probability of success and the p-value or confidence interval, respectively. However, there is some confusion and more information is needed to accurately plot the graph.

Could you help me please
With which function can we draw elliptic abacus in Statistic?
I want to draw this function with pgfplots, tikz
thank you

Hi yakoum! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

Can you clarify what you're asking for?

Is it about how to create a tikz plot at all?
Or a tikz plot with axes like that?
Or is it about a specific set of functions? If so, which ones?

I want to know with which function we can draw this graph(I don't know the function).
in Statistic, it concern binomial when we calculate confidence interval when nf<20 and n(1-f) <20
Is it clear?

Well... the confidence interval for a binomial distribution would be $np \pm \sqrt{np(1-p)}$, where $p$ is the probability of a success and $n$ is the number of trials.
But to be honest, I don't understand your graph yet. You have a $p$ there, which might be the probability of a success, but it could also be the p-value related to the confidence interval. The $f$ axis might be one or the other - I can't tell.
Either way, if I plot it myself, with some assumptions, I get graphs that are somewhat similar, but not the same.

Can you provide some more information?
What are the axes supposed to represent?
 

FAQ: Drawing Elliptic Abacus with pgfplots and tikz

What is an elliptic abacus?

An elliptic abacus is a type of mathematical tool used for visualizing and calculating mathematical equations related to ellipses. It consists of a set of movable beads or markers on a curved track, representing the x and y coordinates of points on an ellipse.

Why would I want to draw an elliptic abacus?

Drawing an elliptic abacus can be useful for visualizing and understanding mathematical concepts related to ellipses, such as the equation of an ellipse, its foci, and its eccentricity. It can also be used as a teaching tool for students learning about ellipses.

What is pgfplots and tikz?

pgfplots and tikz are packages for the LaTeX typesetting system that allow for the creation of high-quality, customizable graphics and diagrams. They are often used in scientific and mathematical fields for creating visual representations of data or mathematical concepts.

Can I customize the appearance of the elliptic abacus?

Yes, with pgfplots and tikz, you have complete control over the appearance of the elliptic abacus. You can adjust the size, color, and style of the beads and track, as well as add labels and annotations to the diagram.

Is it difficult to draw an elliptic abacus with pgfplots and tikz?

The difficulty level of drawing an elliptic abacus with pgfplots and tikz may vary depending on your familiarity with these packages and your understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts. However, there are many resources and tutorials available online to help guide you through the process.
