CH3COOH is produced for technical use in a chemical plant. It has been determined that the purity level of the product is 50 ± 3% due to the chemical methods and the potential technologies used in this long-time production. Produced acid is marketed with1-liter bottles in stock. The purity percentage of the acid in a flask taken randomly from the stock, calculate the probabilities;a)to be more than 53,b)to be less than 44,c)existence between 46-52
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!
