Question

3. Normal Distribution: the old voltage meter has a large uncertainty in the reading. The actual voltage of our battery is 3.0 V. The reading from the meter is a random variable with a normal probability distribution around 3.0 V, of which the standard deviation is 0.5 V. (1) Write out the mathematical form of the probability density function as a function of the voltage reading X. (2) Plot this probability density function. (3) Plot the corresponding cumulative probability function (4) Calculate E[X], Var(X), ?(X) (5) Calculate Q0, Q2 and Q4.

Step 1

0 V and the standard deviation (σ) is 0.5 V. So, the pdf for the voltage reading X is: $$ f(x) = \frac{1}{0.5\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{ -\frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{x-3.0}{0.5}\right)^2 } $$ (2) To plot the probability density function and the cumulative probability function, Show more…
