Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.

Normal Distribution

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mμ=100 and a standard deviation σ= 15. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 127. The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less tha 127 is
Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of CVS brand water. The mean of this x distribution is µ = 6.5 pH. A new company wants to sell its water at CVS locations. However, CVS management believes that the new brand will have a mean pH less than the CVS brand water. A random sample of 50 water samples were taken from this new company's water and it was found that the sample mean was 6.3 pH and the sample standard deviation was s = 0.5 pH. Do the data indicate that the new company's water has a mean pH level less than 6.5, which is the pH of the CVS brand water. Use a 5% significance level. Identify the following in your answer. 1. Identify the null Ho and alternative hypotheses H1 for the problem. 2. Identify the following: Sample statistic • Test Statistic (t): (Round to three decimal places) p - value: (Round to four places) • Calculator key used. 3. Identify the significance level and determine if you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 4. State your conclusion.
