A large, perfect cube of ice sits in the merciless Australian sun. It is melting, Each of its edges shrinks at 8 mm/min. How quickly does the volume of the ice cube decrease when it weighs 343 kg? (Hint: Assume that the specific volume of ice is the same as that of liquid water, which in turn we assume to be 1 litre/kg = 1000 cm /kg.) O 274400.0 kg / min O 1176.0 kg/ min O 39.2 kg / min O 117.6 kg / min O 274.4 kg / min O 11760 kg / min O 2744.0 kg / min O 11.76 kg / min O 3920.0 kg / min O 3.92 kg / min O None of the other options.
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!
