Choose the correct interpretation of the standard deviation. Type your answer as "a", "b", "c" or "d" (without the quotations) a. The standard deviation is the difference in miles per gallon each test is from the mean. b. The standard deviation is the average difference in miles per gallon each test is from the mean. c. The standard deviation is the difference between the largest miles per gallon test and smallest miles per gallon test. d. The standard deviation gives the most common miles per gallon of a Ford Fusion.
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!
