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…

Q9. If A and B are two events, prove that P(ANB) ≥ 1 − P(Ā) – P(B). [Note: This is a simplified version of the Bonferroni inequality.]
Ruff, Inc. makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce, and grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce. A bag of dog food must contain at least 222 grams of protein and at least 162 grams of fat. If chicken costs 11¢ per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize cost? (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
Q6. Consider a situation where cars entering an intersection could turn right, turn left, or go straight. An experiment consists of observing two vehicles moving through the intersection. (a) How many sample points are there in the sample space? List them. (b) Assuming that all sample points are equally likely, what is the probability that at least one car turns left? (c) Again assuming equally likely sample points, what is the probability that at most one vehicle turns right?
