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

Let X be a random variable and f a Borel function. Suppose that f (X) is
not a.s. constant. Is it possible for X and f (X) to be independent?

Expression, rule, or law that gives the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable. Some important types of functions are injective function, surjective function, polynomial function, and inverse function.

Florida State University has 14 statistics classes scheduled for its Summer 2013 term. One class has space available for 30 students, eight classes have space for 60 students, one class has space for 70 students, and four classes have space for 100 students. Space is available for 980 students. Suppose that each class is ﬁlled to capacity and select a statistics student at random. Let the random variable X equal the size of the student’s class. Deﬁne the PDF for X. I. P(x) can be deﬁned as the probability that the size of the students' class is less than x II. P(x) can be deﬁned as the average size of the student's class. III. P(x) can be defined as the probability of the different size of the student's class, multiplied by the corresponding class size. IV. P(x) can be deﬁned as the probability that the size of the student’s class is equal to x.
