Chapter 6: Continuous Probability Distributions
Chapter 6: Continuous Probability Distributions 175 Chapter 6: Continuous Probability Distributions Chapter 5 dealt with Probability Distributions arising from discrete random variables. Mostly that Chapter focused on the binomial experiment. There are many other experiments from discrete random variables that exist but are not covered in this book. Chapter 6 deals with Probability Distributions that arise from Continuous random variables. The focus of this Chapter is a distribution known as the normal distribution , though realize that there are many other Distributions that exist. A few others are examined in future chapters. Section : Uniform distribution If you have a situation where the Probability is always the same, then this is known as a uniform distribution . An example would be waiting for a commuter train.
Chapter 6: Continuous Probability Distributions 179 The equation that creates this curve is f(x)= 1!2" e # 1 2 x#µ 2. Just as in a discrete probability distribution, the object is to find the probability of an
