The average monthly income of the employees of ABC, Inc. is Php.20,000.00 with a standard deviation of Php.550. Assume that the monthly income of the employees of the company is monthly distributed. If an employee of the company is randomly selected, what is the probability that its monthly income is greater than Php.21,000.00? and what if it is less then Php. 21,500.00
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!
