Use the information to answer the following question. Jimmy purchased a package of jelly beans that contained 75 jellybeans. Out of the 75 jellybeans, 8 are pink, 17 are orange, 22 are red, 18 are green, 6 are white and 4 are black. Jimmy later noticed that the package of jellybeans contained a hole and two jellybeans dropped out of the package while he was walking home. Which of the following results is MOST likely to have occurred? O The two jellybeans tmt slipped out were both green. One of the jellybeans that slipped out was orange and one was black. The two jellybeans that slipped out were both white. One of the jellybeans that slipped out was pink and one was white.
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!
