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
After surgery to replace an arthritic hip joint, the short-term recovery times until the patient is able to walk without assistance or pain are normally distributed , with a mean of 35 days and a standard deviation of 5.9 days.

Standard Normal Distribution Table
a. If a patient receiving a new hip joint is randomly selected, determine the probability that (s)he will have a short-term recovery time of:
(i) Less than 2 weeks (i.e., 14 days)
P(X < 14)=
(ii) Greater than 6 weeks (i.e., 42 days)
P(X > 42)=
(iii) Between 3 and 6 weeks (i.e., between 21 and 42 days)
P(21 < X < 42)=
(i) Less than 2 weeks (i.e., 14 days)
P(X < 14)=
(ii) Greater than 6 weeks (i.e., 42 days)
P(X > 42)=
(iii) Between 3 and 6 weeks (i.e., between 21 and 42 days)
P(21 < X < 42)=
b. Determine the recovery time associated with the:
(i) 14% of patients with the fastest recovery times
x=________days
(ii) 1% of patients with the slowest recovery times
x=_______days
(iii) Middle 98% of short-term recovery times
(i) 14% of patients with the fastest recovery times
x=________days
Round to 1 decimal place.
(ii) 1% of patients with the slowest recovery times
x=_______days
Round to 1 decimal place.
(iii) Middle 98% of short-term recovery times
_____days < x <______days
Round to 1 decimal place.
