1 Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1. Which situation does not describe a discrete random variable? A The number of cell phones per household. B The number of kilometres travelled by car each month. C The number of students in a classroom. D The number of credit cards used by a person 2. What is the expectation for this probability distribution? x P(x) A 0.25 C B 1.0 D Which situation does not describe a uniform distribution? A Cutting a card from a standard deck. B Rolling a 12-sided die. C Counting successes when rolling 6 dice. D A computer randomly generating a number between 1 and A number is randomly chosen from 1 to 9. What is the expected outcome? A 5 C 45 B 4.5 D Which is not a characteristic of a uniform distribution? A B C D All trials are dependent and involve success and failure. All outcomes are equally likely in a single trial. 6. A spinner has 8 sectors, each of which is sized based on their labelled number, from 1 to 8. Which statement is correct? A This is a uniform distribution because it is a single trial. B This is a uniform distribution because each outcome is equally likely. C This is a non-uniform distribution because there is more than one trial. D This is a non-uniform distribution because the sectors have different sizes and therefore different probabilities.
2 7. Six people are randomly selected from seven men and eight women. Which expression represents the probability of four men being selected? A C B D 8. A five-card hand is dealt from a standard deck. Which expression represents the calculation for the expected number of face cards? A C B D 9. Which is a false statement when comparing discrete probability distributions? A Uniform: All outcomes are equally likely. Binomial: Trials are independent. Hypergeometric: Trials are dependent. B Uniform: Binomial: C D Hypergeometric: Uniform: Random variable is the number of items selected. Binomial: Random variable is the number of successful outcomes. Hypergeometric: Random variable is the number of successful outcomes. Uniform: n is the number of items available. Binomial: n is the number of trials. Hypergeometric: n is the size of the population. 10. For a statistics research project, your team recorded the time between successive buses over a one-week period. Which type of probability distribution would be used to calculate the probability that there will be 10 min between buses? A Uniform, since you are considering a single trial. B Binomial, since trials are independent. C Hypergeometric, since trials are dependent. D None of the above, since the random variable is continuous.

ANS: C 7. ANS: A 8. ANS: B 9. ANS: C 10. ANS: E SHORT ANSWER 1. a) The random variable is the number of printing jobs by employee. Number of Frequency Probability Jobs
10 2. a) Yes. The random variable is a number between 1 and 100. b) Yes. The random variable is any one of the 52 cards in a standard deck. c) No. The colours are not equally likely. d) No. There are 10 trials. e) Yes. The random variable is a student s name from the list. 3. ANS: a) X = the number of 5s or 6s; n = 8; ; b) X = the number of surviving trees; n = 500; p = 0.3; q = ANS: a) Although each trial is independent, this process does not have a set number of trials. b) Test a specific number of clocks instead of stopping when a defective clock is found. 5. ANS: Trials are independent and successes are noted, so this is a binomial distribution. Use the expectation formula, E(X) = np. E(X) = = 7 It is likely that 7 of the 20 who were interviewed support the current party in power. 6. ANS: a) This is not a hypergeometric distribution because it involves only one trial. b) This is not a hypergeometric distribution because the trials are independent. c) This is a hypergeometric distribution because the trials are dependent and successes (kittens) are counted in a finite number of trials. 7. ANS: Compare each expression with. a) a = 9, b = 3 b) c = 7, d = 4 c) e = 6, f = 2 d) g = 9, h = ANS:
11 For this hypergeometric distribution, n = 33, r = 5, a = 15, and x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Number of Ripe Tomatoes, x Probability, P(x) ANS: Answers may vary. Examples: a) The number of successes are counted. Alternative: There is a set number of trials. b) Trials are independent with the binomial distribution and dependent with the hypergeometric distribution. Alternative: In the binomial distribution, n represents the number of trials. In the hypergeometric distribution, n represents the size of the population and r represents the number of trials. PROBLEM 1. ANS: a)
12 b) E(X) = 1(0.276) + 2(0.341) + 3(0.156) + 4(0.143) + 5(0.054) + 6(0.029) = The expected size of a randomly selected household is about 2.4 people. 2. ANS: In this situation, n = 5, p = 0.25, and q = a) Include Number Correct, x P(x) b) Add the probabilities of having exactly 3, 4, and 5 successes. P(passing) = = The probability of passing is about c) E(X) = 5(0.25) = 1.25 The expectation of 1.25 is the same using either method. Any differences are due to rounding. 3. ANS: For this hypergeometric distribution, n = 40 and r = 7. a) In this case, a = 16, and x = 7. The probability that the winners are all children is about b) In this case, a = 16, and x = 2. The probability that exactly two of the winners are children is about c)
