True or False:

a.) In a statistical study, the random variable X = 1, if the house is colonial and X = 0 if the house is not colonial, then it can be stated that the random variable is continuous.

b.) For a continuous distribution, P(X ≤ 10) is the same as P(X<10).

c.) For a continuous distribution, the exact probability of any particular value is always zero.

d.) For a binomial probability experiment, with n = 60 and p =.2, it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution without continuity correction.

e.) All continuous random variables are normally distributed.

f.) In a binomial distribution the random variable X is discrete.

g.) Events that have no sample space outcomes in common and, therefore cannot occur simultaneously are referred to as mutually independent events.

h.) The probability of an event is the product of the probabilities of the sample space outcomes that correspond to the event.

i.) A classical probability measure is a probability assessment that is based on relative frequency.

1) TRUE OR FALSE: Parameters yield populations 2) TRUE OR FALSE: In a study entitled the relationship between study time and grades, study time is the predictor variable. 3) TRUE OR FALSE: Only experiments involve direct measurement by the researcher. 4) A response variable is also an outcome variable. 5) Statistical methods that use sample data to make statements about populations are called inferential statistics. 6) The IV is the variable that can be randomly assigned by the researcher.

1) Let X be a continuous random variable. What is true about fX(x)fX(x)? fX(2) is a probability. fX(2) is a set. It can only take values between 0 and 1 as input. fX(2) is a number. 2) Let X be a continuous random variable. What is true about FX(x)FX(x)? FX(x) is a strictly increasing function. It decreases to zero as x→∞x→∞. FX(2) is a probability. FX(x) can be any real number.

A random variable Y is a function of random variable X, where y=x^2 and fx(x)=(x+1)/2 from -1 to 1 and =0 elsewhere. Determine fy(y). In this problem, there are two x values for every y value, which means x=T^-1(y)= +y^0.5 and -y^0.5. Be sure you account for both of these. Ans: fy(y)=0.5y^-0.5
