To evaluate a CDF use Desmos only where directly indicated, otherwise use the attached z-score and areas tables and show all steps. Clearly explain and justify the solution using proper terminology and notation. Please, I need your help. Thanks 4. During the dry month of August, one Canadian city has measurable rain on average only 2 days per month. Suppose the arrival of rainy days is Poisson distributed in this city during the month of August. a) What is the average number of days that will pass between measurable rain? b) What is the probability during this month that there will be a period of less than 2 days between rain? c) Determine the number of days, d, such that P(x>d) is 50%.
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!

4. During the dry month of August, one Canadian city
has measurable rain on average only 2 days per
month. Suppose the arrival of rainy days is Poisson
distributed in this city during the month of August.
a) What is the average number of days that will pass
between measurable rain?
b) What is the probability during this month that there
will be a period of less than 2 days between rain?
c) Determine the number of days, d, such that
P(x>d) is 50%.
