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!
- The Prevalence per 10,000 population of having health insurance for 1 (Table 5 box s. above) is:
- The Prevalence per 10,000 population of having health insurance for 2 (Table 5 box w. above) is:
![**Table 5 - Prevalence of Health Insurance for Groups 1 and 2**
| | Have Health Insurance | Population Size | Calculation | Prevalence (as a decimal) | Calculation | Prevalence (per 10,000 population) |
|----------|------------------------|----------------|-------------|---------------------------|-------------|------------------------------------|
| **1** | 280,000 | 400,000 | p. | q. | r. | s. |
| **2** | 50,000 | 77,000 | t. | u. | v. | w. |
**Explanation:**
This table displays the prevalence of health insurance for two separate groups, denoted as 1 and 2. The table breaks down the number of people with health insurance, the total population size for each group, and calculations required to determine the prevalence as a decimal and per 10,000 population. The calculation columns labeled as p., q., r., s., t., u., v., and w. are placeholders for mathematical calculations to derive the prevalence values.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa837eea6-4552-4fb6-9a69-b3352f3fee26%2F44e55800-08a8-49a1-9f77-20df2dd01ab0%2Fq7iwmvk_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
