Emulsion Emulsion An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable). Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms "colloid" and "emulsion" are sometimes used interchangeably, "emulsion" should be used when both phases, dispersed and continuous, are liquids. In an emulsion, one liquid (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include vinaigrettes, homogenized milk, and some cutting fluids for metal working. Graphene and its modified forms are also a good example of recent unconventional surfactants helping
Sum of normally distributed random variables Sum of normally distributed random variables In probability theory, calculation of the sum of normally distributed random variables is an instance of the arithmetic of random variables, which can be quite complex based on the probability distributions of the random variables involved and their relationships. This is not to be confused with the sum of normal distributions which forms a mixture distribution. If "X" and "Y" are independent random variables that are normally distributed (and therefore also jointly so), then their sum is also normally distributed. i.e., if then This means that the sum of two independent normally distributed random
