To calculate continuous uniform distribution using uniform.cdf(), we included the x value to calculate the probability to the right i.e, 96 (96, loc=90, scale=11), But for the discrete uniform distribution, we took a step further to calculate the probability to the right i.e. 96 (93, loc=90, scale=11). What is the reason for doing so? The cdf() function behaves differently for a continuous distribution and a discrete distribution. In the case of a continuous distribution, the cdf is a strictly monotonic increasing continuous function; whereas the cdf of a discrete distribution is a step function. Here, we are using the continuous uniform distribution to approximate the discrete uniform distribution The question asks to find the probability that less than or equal to 92 books (refer to the problem statement) will be sold on a given day. Given that we are using the continuous uniform distribution, we will try to find the area under the uniform curve that is below 93. The correct code to find the same is uniform. cd#(93, loc=9, scale=11) The intuitive approach is, to sum up, the probability of buying 90, 91, and 92 books. As the probability of each is 1/11, the caf will be 3 .* (4/11) = 3/11 = 0.2727 < Previous Next > Proprietary content.©Great Learning. All Rights Reserved.
