Probability Distribution A listing of all the outcomes of an experiment
and the probability associated with each outcome
Probability distributions are useful for making probability statements concerning the values of a random variable
Our goal is to find probability between two values: Example: What is the probability that the daily water
usage will lie between 15 and 25 gallons? A: 68%

Continuous Probability Distribution: Uniform Probability Distribution
Within the interval 15 to 25 minutes, the time it takes to fill out a typical 1040EZ tax return at a VITA site tends to follow a uniform distribution Random Variable is time (only possibilities within the interval) Each value has same probability
Normal Probability Distribution The weight distribution of a manufactured box of cereal
tends to follow a normal distribution Random Variable is box weight and will cover all possibilities Each value has different probability

Uniform Probability Distribution1. Distributions shape is rectangular2. Minimum value = a3. Maximum value = b
a and b imply a range
4. Height of the distribution is constant (uniform) for all values between a and b
Implies all values in range are equally likely
Minimum Value = aMaximum Value = bMean of Uniform Distribution = (a+b)/2 = µStandard Deviation of Uniform Distribution = (((b-a) 2̂)/12)) (̂1/2)) = sIf a <= x <= b and 0 everywhere else = 1/(b-a) = P(x)If a <= x <= b and 0 everywhere else = 1/(b-a) Height of RectangleArea = Height * Base = (1/(b-a))*(b-a) = 1

Suppose the time that you wait on the telephone for a live representative of your phone company to discuss your problem with you is uniformly distributed between 5 and 25 minutes.
What is the mean wait time?
a + b 2 =

What is the standard deviation of the wait time?

What is the probability of waiting more than ten minutes?
The area from 10 to 25 minutes is
15 minutes. Thus:
P(10 < wait time < 25) = height*base = 1

What is the probability of waiting between 15 and 20 minutes?
The area from 15 to 20 minutes is

Characteristics of a NormalProbability Distribution
(And Accompanying Normal Curve)
The normal curve is bell-shaped and has a single peak at the exact center of the distribution
The arithmetic mean, median, and mode of the distribution are equal and located at the peak Thus half the area under the curve is above the mean
and half is below it
The normal probability distribution is symmetrical about its mean If we cut the normal curve vertically at this center
value, the two halves will be mirror images
![Page 16: 1 Chapter 7 Continuous Probability Distributions](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082217/56649e405503460f94b319e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
The normal probability distribution is asymptotic The curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but
never actually touches it The “tails” of the curve extend indefinitely in both
directions The Location of a normal distribution is
determined by mean µ The dispersion of a normal distribution is
determined by the standard deviation s

The standard normal distribution (z distribution ) is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1
The percentage of area between two z-scores in any normal distribution is the same! Standard deviation & terms may be different, but area will
be the same!
Normal distributions can be converted to the standard normal distribution using z-values…

But It Is Really All About Area Under The CurveRemember:
Areas Under the Normal Curve• Empirical Rule (Normal Rule):
• About 68% of the observations will lie within 1 σ of the mean
• About 95% of the observations will lie within 2 σ of the mean
• Virtually all the observations will be within 3 σ of the mean
Hints: Many statistical chores can be solved with this normal curveNevertheless, “The whole world does not fit into a normal curve”

Example 1 The daily water usage per person in New
Providence, New Jersey is normally distributed Mean = 20 gallons Standard deviation = 5 gallons
About 68% of those living in New Providence will use how many gallons of water?
+/- 1 standard deviation will give us: About 68% of the daily water usage will lie
between 15 and 25 gallons

Use The Table In The Back Of The Book And Look Up .80
The area under a normal curve between a z-value of 0 and a z-value of 0.80 is 0.2881
We conclude that 28.81 percent of the residents use between 20 and 24 gallons of water per day

The area associated with a z-value of –0.40 is .1554 Because the curve is symmetrical. look up .40 on
the right
The area associated with a z-value of 1.20 is .3849
.1554 + .3849 = .5403 We conclude that 54.03 percent of the
residents use between 18 and 26 gallons of water per day

Example 4 Professor Mann has determined that the scores
in his statistics course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 72 and a standard deviation of 5
He announces to the class that the top 15 percent of the scores will earn an A
What is the lowest score a student can earn and still receive an A?
.50 - .15 = .35 This is the area under the curve! You must look into table and find the value closest to .35

Finding Area Under The Standard Normal Distribution – Four Situations
1. If you wish to find the area between 0 and z (or – z), then you can look up the value directly in the table
2. If you wish to find the area beyond z (or –z), then locate the probability of z in the table and subtract it from .50
3. If you wish to find the area between two points on different sides of the mean, determine the z-values and add the corresponding areas
4. If you wish to find the area between two points on the same side of the mean, determine the z-values and subtract the smaller area from the larger

54
Use The Normal Distribution To Approximate The Binomial Probability Distribution
The normal distribution (a continuous distribution) yields a good approximation of the binomial distribution (a discrete distribution) for large values of n
Let’s Remember the conditions that must be met before we can run a binomial experiment
![Page 54: 1 Chapter 7 Continuous Probability Distributions](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082217/56649e405503460f94b319e1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
55
For An Experiment To Be Binomial It Must Satisfy The Following Conditions:
1. A random variable (x) counts the # of successes in a fixed number of trials (n)
Trials make up the experiment
2. Each trail must be independent of the previous trial
Outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of any other trial
3. An outcome on each trial of an experiment is classified into one of two mutually exclusive categories:
1. Successor
2. Failure
4. The probability of success stays the same for each trial (so does the probability of failure)

56
Normal Approximating The Binomial
The normal probability distribution is generally a good approximation to the binomial probability distribution when:
n = Fixed # of trialsx = # of successes we wantp = "pi" = Probability of success of each trial
For Binomial Probability Distribution
n* > 5n*(1- > 5

58
Continuity Correction Factor The continuity correction factor of .5 is used
to extend the continuous value of x one-half unit in either direction
The correction compensates for estimating a discrete distribution by a continuous distribution
When you use discrete numbers, you have “gaps” – you need to take an average that will yield a number between
We will simply estimate by adding or subtracting the value .5

Continuity Correction Factor1. For the probability at least x occur, use the
area above (x - .5)
2. For the probability that more than x occur, use the area above (x + .5)
3. For the probability that x or fewer occur, use the area below (x + .5)
4. For the probability that fewer than x occur, use the area below (x - .5)

Example Example
A recent study by a marketing research firm showed that 15% of American households owned a video camera.
For a sample of 200 homes, What is the probability that less than 40 homes in the sample have video cameras?
Step 1: Binomial?
1. Fixed Trails = yes, n = 200
2. Independent = yes
3. S/F Success = have video camera, Failure = don’t have
4. Constant = .15

Step 5: Look Up AreaStep 5: Look Up Area
From Appendix the area between 0 and 1.88 on the z scale is .4699
So the area to the left of 1.88 is .5000 + .4699 = .9699
The likelihood that less than 40 of the 200 homes have a video camera is about 97%
