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!

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple of “heads” (h) and tails (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below. A) Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px. First, fill in the first row with the values X. Then fill in the appropriate probability in the second row.

We are researching the charity donation behaviour of Australians. We have the following model: (E1) Donate = β0 + β1Income +β2Avg_Gift + β3Edu + u Where: Donate is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the individual makes a donation in response to a social media campaign by our charity organisation, and 0 otherwise Income is the annual household income Avg_Gift is the average value of past donations made by the individual to our charity Educ is the individual's level of education (in years) Our data is a random sample of the population and we have 1,614 observations. You should assume E [u | Income, Avg_Gift, Educ] = 0. Using the information above, please answer the following 3 questions. [i] Referring to Model (E1) above, interpret the coefficient β1. [ii] You know that this model will suffer from heteroskedasticity. Why is this the case? Explain your reasoning. [iii] In your own words, what is heteroskedasticity?
