Stats: Review Chapter 9 - Random Variables

Suppose you toss a fair coin 4 times. Let X = the number of heads you get. Find the probability distribution of X (in order).

• X = 1, 2, 3, 4

• X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

• P(X) = 0.0625, 0.25, 0.375, 0.25, 0.0625

• P(X) = 0.071, 0.286, 0.286, 0.286, 0.071

• P(X) = 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.0625

If X = the number of televisions in a randomly selected U.S. household, the probability distribution of X is given here. Is X a discrete or a continuous random variable? Explain.

• Discrete

• Continuous

• There are gaps between the values of X.

• There are no gaps between the values of X.

If X = the number of televisions in a randomly selected U.S. household, the probability distribution of X is given here. Interpret the mean of X.

• The average number of TVs in US homes is 2.305.

• If many US homes were selected, the mean number of TVs would be about 2 on average.

• If many US homes were selected, the mean number of TVs would be about 3 on average.

• If many US homes were selected, the mean number of TVs would be about 2.305 on average.
