A soda can manufacturer wants to minimize the cost of the aluminum used to make their can. The can has to hold a volume V of soda. Assuming that the thickness of the can is the same everywhere, the amount of aluminum used to make the can will be proportional to its surface area. That is, suppose the height of the can is h and the radius of the can is r, as shown in the figure on the right. A soda can is a circular cylinder with radius r and height h. The curved surface area is 2arh and the area of each end cap is ar?. Then the manufacturer wants to minimize S = 2arh + 2xr² subject to the constraint that arh = V. Here we have used the formulas for the total surface area and volume of a cylinder. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) A real soda can has volume V = 279 cm. By substituting for h in the given equation, write S as a function of r only. 558 s(r) = + 2xr? (Type an expression.) (b) Describe the behavior of S(r) as r-→o. As r→∞0, S(r)→ 0
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!
