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…

Question 10 The weekly demand for a product approximately has a normal distribution with mean 1,000 and standard deviation 200. The current on hand inventory is 2,200 and no deliveries will be occurring in the next two weeks. Assuming that the demands in different weeks are independent,a) What is the probability that the demand in each of the next 2 weeks is less than 1,100?b) What is the probability that the total of the demands in the next 2 weeks exceeds 2,200?
An i.i.d. sample is taken from some distribution F, the sample mean is 6.80, and the sample variance is 51.84. 1.   Given only this information, what is your estimate of the standard deviation (sd) of the distribution F? 2.   You are now told that the sample actually comes from an exponential distribution. What is now your estimate of the sd of F? 3. You are now told that the sample comes from an exponential distribution, AND that the sample size is huge -- for example ten million (107).   Do you believe this?   Why or why not?
Using the estimates of the statistical parameters obtained in Problem # 2 for the flow dataset (42-years of flow data set) and based on the assumption that the given flow data set (42-year of flow values) follows a particular theoretical (Normal, Log-Normal, Gumbel, Log Pearson Type III) probability distribution, answer the following questions.(a) What is the 100-year flood?(b) What is the probability that a flood will be less than or equal to 10,000 m3/s?(c) Compare the results obtained above in parts (a) and (b) in a tabular format and comment on the adequacy and applicability of the theoretical distribution in the estimation of floods
