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!

Suppose a population has a standard deviation of 10. Assume that we continue to select groups of 100 individuals from the population and calculate the sample means. The variation among all these sample means is measured by o/v(n). Compare the distribution of single observations (x) with that of the means x. (That is, compare the histograms of x and x.) We can conclude that the distribution of x is spread out. In other words, averages vary much than individual observations. less; less less; more more; less more; more
