Question

Please fill in the appropriate answer on your scantron. Put "A" for true, "B" for false. True or False: A variable that can take on any decimal values over a given interval is called a discrete random variable. True or False: The amount of time a patient waits in a doctor's office is an example of a continuous random variable. True or False: A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of an experiment. True or False: In a binomial experiment, any single trial contains only two possible outcomes, and trials are related/dependent. True or False: A uniform continuous distribution has a rectangular shape. True or False: A z-score is the number of standard deviations that a value of a random variable is above or below the mean. True or False: The normal distribution is a skewed distribution with its tails extending to infinity on either side of the mean. True or False: The Central Limit Theorem indicates that the sampling distribution of the mean will only be normally distributed if the population is normal. True or False: The standard error is the standard deviation of the statistic. True or False: The sampling distribution of the sample means is less variable than the population distribution. Please fill in the appropriate answer on your scantron. The number of students arriving late for class is an example of ......... a continuous random variable a discrete random variable either a continuous or a discrete random variable, depending on the sample neither a discrete nor continuous random variable

Explanation / Answer

1) B

It is called continuous random variable.

2) A

3) A

4) B

Trials are independent.

5) A

6) A

7) B

Normal distribution is bell shaped.

8) B

When sample size is greater than 30, sampling distribution of sample mean is approximately normal.

9) A

10) B

11 ) The number of students arriving late for class is an example of a discrete random variable .
