Using the following normal distribution, find the following percentages. The Normal Distribution Mean=20 %3D S.D. 5 34% 34% 13.5% 13.5% 0.15% 235% 235% 0.15% Standard Deviations from the Mean 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 What percentage falls between 10 and 15? What percentage of the data is above 30? What number is 16% more of the data? type your answer. % is between 10 and 15. type your answer. % is above 30. type your answer.
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!
