Evaluate the probability that on any Particular day there will be fewer than 3 accidents on this superhighway during the peak rush timings. a. b. Compute the probability that on any Particular day there will be more than 6 accidents on this Super highway during the peak rush timings. Find the Expected number of accidents per day and variance. с.
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!
Question # 4
![Question No. 4
On the basis of the previous record, an average of 4 accidents in one day occur on the superhighway
during peak rush timings. Calculate the following if possible. If any part of question (you feel) is
not possible to calculate give reason:
Evaluate the probability that on any Particular day there will be fewer than 3 accidents on
this superhighway during the peak rush timings.
а.
b.
Compute the probability that on any Particular day there will be more than 6 accidents on
this Super highway during the peak rush timings.
Find the Expected number of accidents per day and variance.
