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…

Chapter 11.5, Problem 25E

In Problems 27-34, consider the normal distribution with mean 60 and standard deviation 12 . Find the area under the normal curve and above the given interval on the horizontal axis.

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.

A homeware company has been approached to manufacture a cake tin in the shape of a "ghost" from the Pac-Man video game to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the games launch. The base of the cake tin has a characteristic dimension / and is illustrated in Figure 1 below, you should assume the top and bottom of the shape can be represented by semi-circles. The vertical sides of the cake tin have a height of h. As the company's resident mathematician, you need to find the values of r and h that minimise the internal surface area of the cake tin given that the volume of the tin is Vfixed- 2r Figure 1 - Plan view of the "ghost" cake tin base. (a) Show that the Volume (V) of the cake tin as a function of r and his 2(+1)²h V = 2
