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 co…

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…

Mathematical Connections

In each pair of variables below, select the one that can be assumed to be normally distributed.

a. Salaries of employees at a high school; shoe sizes of students at a high school

b. The exam scores on a statistics midterm; the heights of 25 -year-old adults

c. SAT scores; the frequency of numbers appearing in weekly lotteries for the past 5 years

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

File Preview A gardener has ten different potted plants, and they are spraying the plants with doses of Tertizers. Plants can receive zero or more doses in a session. In the following, we count each possible number of doses the ten plants can receive (the order of spraying in a session does not matter). (a) How many ways are there if there were twelve total doses of a single type of fertilizer? (b) How many ways are there if there are six total doses of a single type of fertilizer, each plant receives no more than one dose? (c) How many ways are there if is was one dose of each of six types of fertilizers? (d) How many ways are there if there are four doses of fertilizer #1 and eight doses of fertilizer #2? (e) How many ways are there if there are four doses of fertilizer #1 and eight doses of fertilizer #2, and each plant receives no more than one dose of fertilizer #1? (f) How many ways are there to do two sessions of spraying, where each plant receives at most two doses total?
