group of researchers are working to determine the historic sea levels of the body of water. They are attempting to do this by taking samples around the body of water and in a nearby cave and after analyzing sediment cores from around the body of water to those in the cave. The climatologist that is working in the cave to determine the age and growth rate of stalactites, to get a more accurate picture of the age of the existing stalactites. Find a linear model that express length as a function of the age. Round to 2 decimals. Age (nearest hundred) Micrometers 54
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 count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
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 great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
