The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 91 (adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years). Calculate the estimated standard error for this larger sample. The new estimated standard error is , (round to three decimals)
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!
