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!

According to the World Health Organization, the average height of a one-year-old child is 29". You believe children with a particular disease are smaller than average, so you draw a sample of 20 children with this disease and find a mean height of 27.5" and a sample standard deviation of 1.5". The test statistic is -4.4721 and the p-value is 0.00013 using the calculator function TTEST. If a=0.05, what conclusions can be made? Provide a detailed conclusion including contextualization to the given scenario.
