The Atlanta Braves baseball team as a mean batting average of 250 with a standard Deviation of 20. Assume the batting averages are normally distributed What is the probability of selecting a player with an average of under 300 What percent of braves players fall between 230 and 270 What is the probability of selecting a player with a batting averages between 220 and 280 I NEED HELP
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!
