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!

Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A. O 0.6654 0.7850 O 0.7252 O 0.6953 O 0.7551
