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!

![# t-Distribution: Area in Right Tail
This table displays the critical values of the t-distribution for different degrees of freedom (df) and the area in the right tail. It is used in statistical hypothesis testing, particularly for small sample sizes when the population standard deviation is unknown.
## Table Layout
- **Columns**: These represent the tail probabilities (areas) from 0.25 to 0.0005.
- **Rows**: These represent the degrees of freedom (df), ranging from 1 to 1000.
## Explanation of Table Content
For each combination of degrees of freedom and tail probability, the table provides the critical value of the t-distribution. This critical value is the t-score that separates the rightmost tail area from the rest of the distribution. The top section of the table illustrates values for df ranging from 1 to 20. The second section continues from df 21 to 40, and subsequent sections display values for selected degrees of freedom up to 1000.
### Example:
- At 10 degrees of freedom and an area of 0.05 in the right tail, the critical value is 1.812.
- For 30 degrees of freedom with an area of 0.01, the critical value is 2.457.
This table is essential for determining the threshold at which you would reject the null hypothesis in t-tests, ensuring accurate statistical analysis.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ac3be618-b645-4bd8-855b-808ff3fc18d4/cb8a68c5-4399-4600-b3ab-ed727f7560d2/86tzl3_thumbnail.png)
