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 acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.75 and standard deviations 0.50.

A certain city the Transportation Authority (CTA) has trollies leaving regularly throughout the day beginning at 5:00 a.m. Although the length of a trip and the number of stops are constant, the time taken for each trip varies due to weather, traffic, and time of the day.

A random sample of 25 trips is obtained, and the time for each is recorded. Find the probability that the sample mean time will be less than 48 minutes.
