erik, a tourism expert, is researching the number of overnight stays at two large hotels. He collected data for 30 days and calculated that the average number of overnight stays in one hotel was 135 nights and the standard deviation was 22 nights, while in the other hotel the average was 22 nights. mean) 142 and the standard deviation 18 nights. erik used an appropriate hypothesis test to examine whether there was a difference in the distribution of the number of overnight stays in the two hotels (e. Used an appropriate hypothesis test to test if there is a difference in the variance in overnight stays at the two hotels). What is the value of the test statistic? 1.22 0.82 0.95 1.49 0.67
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!
