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!

A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?

Part I: Probability For each of the following problems, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4,2)/24 instead of 0.375. 5. You are playing Scrabble and you draw seven tiles: M, A, T, C, H, E, S. You line them up in some random order on your tile rack (assume all orderings are equally likely). The events M, T, and S are defined as follows: M: The tiles M, A, T, H appear consecutively. T: The tile T appears exactly in the middle (fourth position). S: The tile S is either in the first position or in the final position.
