AP Stats 1st Semester Review - Chapter 6

Which of the following random variables should be considered continuous?

• The time it takes for a randomly chosen woman to run 100 meters

• The number of brothers a randomly chosen person has

• The number of cars owned by a randomly chosen adult male

• The number of orders received by a mail-order company in a randomly chosen week

• None of the above

A variable whose value is a numerical outcome of a random phenomenon is called

• a random variable.

• a parameter.

• biased.

• a random sample.

• a statistic.

Which of the following is not a random variable?

• The heights of randomly-selected buildings in New York City.

• The suit of a card randomly-selected from a 52-card deck.

• The number of children in randomly-selected households in the United States.

• The amount of money won (or lost) by the next person to walk out of a casino in Las Vegas.

• All of the above are random variables.

Let X be the outcome of rolling a fair six-sided die.   $P\left(2\le x<5\right)=$
