A square with side length 8 is colored white except for 4 black isosceles right triangular regions with legs of length 2 in each corner of the square and a black diamond with side length 2V2 in the center of the square, as shown in the diagram. A circular coin with diameter 1 is dropped onto the square and lands in a random location where the coin is 1 (a + bv2 + a ), where a and b 196 completely contained within the square. The probability that the coin will cover part of the black region of the square can be written as are positive integers. What is a +b? (A) 64 (B) 66 (C) 68 (D) 70 (E) 72
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!
