Optimization A right triangle has legs of length h and r, and a hypotenuse of length 4 (see figure), It is revolved the leg of length h to sweep out a right circular cone. What values of h and r maximize the volume of the cone? (Volume of a cone r/3.) 22. Rectangles beneath a curve A rectangle is constructed with one side on the positive x-axis, one side on the positive y-axis, and the vertex opposite the origin on the curve y = cos x, for 0 < x < ㎡2. Approximate the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the area of the rectangle. What is the area? m printable area A rectangular page in a textbook (with width x and length y) has an area of 98 in,.2,top and bottom margins set at 1 in., and left and right margins set at 1 in. The printable area of the page is the rectangle that lies within the margins. What are the dimensions of the page that maximize the printable area? 4 Nrarrst pgint What point on the graph ofx)x2 is closest to the origin? (Hint: You can minimize the
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!
