Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Using the listed actress/actor ages in various years, find the best predicted age of the Best Actor winner given that the age of the Best Actress winner that year is 34 years. Is the result within 5 years of the actual Best Actor winner, whose age was 47 years? Best Actress 27 32 28 59 32 34 46 28 64 23 43 54 Best Actor 42 36 37 43 48 47 60 53 40 53 45 34 Find the equation of the regression line. y=_ +(_)x
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!
