5. Which of the following is a discrete random quantitative variable
a. X = the number of books in the bag of your best friend
b. X = the number of phones owned by a randomly selected taxi driver
c. X = the amount of money in the wallet of a randomly selected USC student
1) The total number of students is
The probability that a currently enrolled randomly selected student will obtain an A is .
Correct choice is c. 0.09.
2)The probability that he or she visits Facebook more than 3 times a day is
Correct choice is c. 0.639
3) The average amount of water drunk by men per day is
The average amount of water drunk by women per day is
So the correct choice is
c.The average woman drinks about 105ml more water per day than the average man
4) The number of students is
The probability that a currently enrolled randomly selected student will obtain a C or a D is
Correct choice is c. 0.66.
5) The discrete random quantitative variable are
a. X = the number of books in the bag of your best friend
b. X = the number of phones owned by a randomly selected taxi driver
Money can be decimal number (continuous).
