3/10 Quiz Review - Prob and Norm Distrib

What shape is a normal distribution curve?

• Half curve
• Round curve
• Bell curve
• Square curve

Is this a probability distribution?

• No, the sum of p(x) does not equal 1.

• Yes, all p(x) are between 0 and 1.

• No, all p(x) are not between 0 and 1.

• Yes, the sum p(x) is 1.

Determine which of the following distribution is NOT a probability distribution.

• A

• B

• C

• D

Which one of the following is a discrete random variable?

• Sam's height

• Sam weight

• Time Sam's runs the 110 m hurdles

• Amount of Sam's brothers and sisters

Classify: How many miles it takes to use up a tank of gas.

• Discrete

• Continuous

Is this a probability distribution?

• No

• Yes

Is this a probability distribution?

• No
• Yes

• Yes, because all of the probabilities are between 0 and 1 inclusive and the sum of all the probabilities is 1.
• No, all probabilities are not be between 0 and 1 inclusive
• No, the sum of all the probabilities is not 1.
• Yes, because the distribution is symmetric

Given the probability model in the table below, what is the expected value of the random variable?
  X        50          20        5
P(X)     0.1         0.3      0.6

• 14
• 4.67
• 5
• 7.5

The table represents the probability of guessing correct on a 5 question true-false quiz. Find the mean and the standard deviation.

• μ = .4; σ = 7.5

• μ = 2.5; σ = 1.1

• μ = 3; σ = 1.3

• μ = .1; σ = 0
