9. A random sample of 25 junior high school students was provided with intensive exposure to the workings of the criminal justice system. Their attitudes toward the system were tested before and foilowing the exposure. The test was scored so that a high score indicated a negative attitude while a low score was positive. The results are presented in the "pretest score" and "post test score" columns in the table: Individual Pretest score Posttest score 88 75 2 85 84 74 77 83 74 82 81 68 6. 76 64 78 80 79 79 78 68 10 75 11 78 73 12 13 77 76 78 59 14 15 75 75 79 63 16 74 59 17 18 73 73 75 70 19 20 72 70 61 78 21 22 70 70 69 63 23 64 70 24 25 62 61 72 70 Do the pretest scores are significantly different from posttest scores?

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!
