Chapter Continuous Probability Distributions 7.1 Probability Density Function A continuous random variable has an uncountable infinite number of values in the interval (a,b) To calculate probabilities of continuous random variables we define a probability density function f(x), which satisfies the following conditions Area = – f(x) is non-negative, – The total area under the curve representing f(x) is equal to The probability that a continuous variable X will assume any particular value is zero The probability that x falls between ‘a’ and ‘b’ is the area under the graph of f(x) between ‘a’ and ‘b’ P(a≤ x≤ b) a b Uniform Distribution A random variable X is said to be uniformly distributed if its density function is f ( x) = with b−a a+b E(X) = f(X) a b a ≤ x ≤ b (b − a) V(X ) = 12 X Example 7.1: The daily sale of gasoline is uniformly distributed between 2,000 and 5,000 gallons Find the probability that sales are: Between 2,500 and 3,000 gallons P(2500≤ X≤ 3000) = (3000-2500)(1/3000) = 1667 1/3000 2000 2500 3000 5000 x 7.2 Normal Distribution A random variable X with mean µ and variance σ is normally distributed if its probability density function is We denote a normal distribution by N(µ, σ ) Normal distributions range from minus infinity to plus infinity x − µ   x − µ   −−(1(1/ /22)) σ   σ  e 1 ∞≤≤ xx≤≤∞ ∞ ff((xx))== e −−∞ σσ 22ππ where ππ==33 14159 14159 and and ee ==22 71828 71828 where The Shape of the Normal Distribution µ bell shaped, and symmetrical around µ Increasing the mean shifts the curve to the right… 8.8 Increasing the standard deviation “flattens” the curve… 8.9 Two facts help calculate normal probabilities: - The normal distribution is symmetrical Any random variable (rv) X having N(µ , σ ) can be transformed into a rv Z having N(0 , ) , called the “STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION” or the Z-distribution by X −− µµ X ZZ == σσ 10 Checking the required conditions: The Student t distribution is robust, which means that if the population is non-normal, the results of the t-test and confidence interval estimate are still valid provided that the population is “not extremely non-normal” 14 12 10 30 25 20 15 10 400 425 450 475 500 525 550 575 More -4 14 22 30 108 More Example Assume the content of a can of Bubbly cola is Normally distributed Design a test to see whether its manufacturer adequately fills their 1-liter (i.e., 1000 mls) bottles H0 : μ = 1, 000mls HA: μ < 1, 000mls (1-side test) (adequately) (inadequately) α = (This might be just a class-room project) n = 25 (small sample size) -> Use the t 24 -distribution Reject H0 at α = 10 Reject region: T < −1.32 −1.32 Critical value 109 11.2 Inference About a Population Variance This statistic is (n − 1) s σ If the population is normally distributed, it has a 22 χχnn−−11 Chi-squared distribution, with df = n-1: The Chi-squared distribution 110 Testing the population variance – Left hand tail test Example 3: A container-filling machine is considered to fill liter containers consistently if the variance of the filling is less than cc (.001 liter) A random sample of 25 1-liter fills was taken, and s2=.6333 Do these data support the belief that the variance is less than 1cc at 5% significance level?
