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 number N of residential homes that a fire company can serve depends on the distance r (in city blocks) that a fire engine can cover in a specified (fixed) period of time. If we assume that N is proportional to the area of a circle r blocks from the firehouse, then N = Car, where C is a constant, TT = 3.1416..., and r, a random variable, is the number of blocks that a fire engine can move in the specified time interval.

Suppose he wants the scores to be normally distributed with mean 80 and a standard deviation of 4. What should he choose for a and b? What students would see their score lowered, and what students would see their score increased?
