ones you had troubling 'answering with term' (also the final part of 'how are prob distributions derived?' question)

How are probability distributions derived?

Plotting possible occurrences in a histography format, then dividing each by total number of possible occurances. The sum under the curve should add to unity.

Confidence interval

Range of values that the true value of a statistical parameter of the population will lie in

Rotameter

A mechanical device used to measure volumetric flow rate of fluids in a closed tube

Pitot Tube

Effective flow meter, used to measure fluid speed. Underlying principle is Bernoulli's, by which difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure is measured to calculate velocity

TQ SM1009

Strain gauge trainer. Bench mounted bending system to test tension, torsion, and bending. Used to show how resistance strain gauges work

Infrared thermometer

Measures temperature by detecting radiation emitted from measured object's surface, does not require contact but more susceptible to environment-sourced errors (like radiation from other objects)

Electrodynamic Shaker

Provides sinusoidal base acceleration for spring mass specimen

Dynamic signal analyzer

Does a Sine-sweep to obtain frequency response over a user-defined range of frequencies
