1 Chapter 6 Test Review Name TRUE-FALSE: Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false. 1) A random variable is continuous when the set of possible values includes an entire interval on the number line. 2) For a continuous random variable x, the area under the density curve over an interval a to b represents the probability that x is between a and b. ) For a continuous random variable x, P( x 6) = p() + p(4) + p(5) + p (6). 4) The binomial probability distribution is an example of a continuous probability distribution. MULTIPLE CHOICE: Circle the correct choice for each question. 5) Which of the following is true about every random variable I. It takes on numerical or categorical values. II. It describes the results of a random phenomenon. III. Its behavior can be described by a probability distribution. A) I only B) II only C) III only D) II and III E) I, II, and III 6) Let be the outcome of rolling a fair six-sided die. P( 2 5) < = A) 1/6 B) 1/ C) 1/2 D) 2/ E) 5/6 7) An ecologist studying starfish populations collects the following data on randomly selected 1 meter by 1 meter plots on a rocky coastline. - The number of starfish in the plot - The total weight of starfish in the plot. - The percentage of area in the plot that is covered by barnacles (a popular food for starfish) - Whether or not the plot is underwater midway between high and low tide. 8) How many of these measurements can be treated as continuous random variables and how many as discrete random variables? A) Three continuous, one discrete. B) Two continuous, two discrete. C) One continuous, three discrete. D) Two continuous, one discrete, and a fourth that cannot be treated as a random variable. E) One continuous, two discrete, and a fourth that cannot be treated as a random variable. 9) Sule s job is just a few bus stops away from his house. While it can be faster to take the bus to work, it s more variable, because of variations in traffic. He estimates that the commute time to work by bus is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 12 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes.
