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!

The probability density function of a distribution is given by x f(x) = exp(-7). Use differentiation to show that the probability density function has a maximum at x = 0. The moment generating function of a distribution is M(t) = (q + pet)", where p € [0, 1], q = 1 - p and n is a positive integer. Use the moment generating function to find the mean and variance of the distribution in terms of p, q and n.
Suppose a college professor never finishes her lecture before the end of the class period, and always finishes within five minutes after the class period is supposed to end. Let X = time that elapses between the end of the class period and the actual end of the lecture. Suppose the pdf of X is: (image) Find the value of k that makes f(x) a legitimate probability density function, and use that value of k to find the probability that the lecture ends less than 3 minutes after the class period is supposed to end.
Let X be a random variable that follows the beta distribution. This random variable is continuous and is defined over the interval from 0 to 1. The probability density function is given by whereand are integers, whose values determine the shape of the probability density function. Because X varies between 0 and 1, we can think of X as the probability that some event (say) E occurs or the proportion of times an event occurs in some population. For example, E could denote the event that a critical part in a newly designed car will lead to a catastrophic failure in accidents at high speeds. The expected value (i.e., mean) of this random variable is []. That is, . The Excel commands for the beta random variable are =beta.dist(x,,,true,0,1) for the cumulative probability distribution, and =beta.dist(x,,,false,0,1) for the probability density function. (a) Now, think in Bayesian terms.…
