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…

Chapter 13.2, Problem 71E

(a)

To determine

To calculate: The probability that the time it takes a randomly selected student to complete the test is more than 45 minutes if the length of time for students to complete a standardised mathematics test has where time t in hours, the probability density function f(t)=1.5t2+t, 0≤t≤1.

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The probability that the time it takes a randomly selected student to complete the test is more than 30 given that it is less than 45 minutes if the length of time for students to complete a standardised mathematics test has where time t in hours, the probability density function f(t)=1.5t2+t, 0≤t≤1.
