What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times but getting no head at all?
1/4 |
1/8 |
1/16 |
1/32 |
1/64 |
We have to find the probabilty of getting 3 tails but no head. Thus the probabilty of TTT=(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/8

Probability density function f (x) of normal distribution has the following property;
f (x) ? 0 for all x values
Which of the statements explains the property above?
Probability density function f (x) of normal distribution has the following property;
f (x) ? 0 for all x values
Which of the statements explains the property above?
Probability density function of random variable x obtain the non-negative values |
The area under the probability density function f (x) always equivalent to 1 in the definition interval of the random variable X. |
Normal distribution curve has a similar shape on both sides of the mean x=µ. |
The tails of the probability function goes to infinity and at no time crosses or touches the x axis. |
P (X < µ ) = P (X > µ ) =0.5. |
First property assures that probability density function of random variable x obtain the non-negative values at all times. From the shape of the probability density function curve it’s obvious that pdf, f (x) decreases as the random variable value goes away from the mean, µ. Likewise, probability density functionf (x) increases as the random variable value gets closer to the mean, µ.

We can obtain the difference between the largest and smallest values. |
The central tendency measure of the distribution is indicated by the median line in the box plot. |

We can obtain additional information about skewness from the lengths of the whiskers. |
A general assessment can be made about the presence of outliers by examining the number of observations. |
The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest values.

During a sales season, the fifteen salesmen in a computer company sold the following numbers of computers: 7, 11, 5, 12, 17, 6, 13, 9, 8, 4, 23, 12, 7, 6, 11. What is the range of the number of sold computers?
23 |
19 |
17 |
9 |
4 |
The range of a data set, shown as R, is the difference between the largest and smallest values and calculated as follows: R = Largest Value - Smallest Value
Largest Value is 23
Smallest Value is 4
So, R=23-4 = 19.
The correct answer is B.

Which of the following is a discrete random variable?
The rainfall in a area over years |
Waiting time in a phone banking system |
Length of trees in a certain forest |
The water level in a certain river during a year |
Number of students taking statistics course over years |
Things measured by time, volume, length, height etc are type of contionus variables, but things meauser by numbers are discrete. However, number of students taking a course can be measured only in integers so it's a discrete variable.

What is the probability of two dices landing on numbers that when sum up is equal to 6?
1/6 |
1/12 |
5/6 |
5/36 |
1/6 |
For two dices the total number of possible outcomes is equal to 6*6 = 36. For the numbers' sum to be equal to 6 the number has to be (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1) which shows that the number of times the event happening is equal to 5. The probability of two dices landing on numbers that when sum up is equal to 6 is 5/36. The answer is D.

How can we determine whether respondents are interpreting questions as intended and whether the order of questions may influence responses?
By conducting a pretest over a small sample of survey population. |
By carefully reviewing the survey questionnaire. |
By analyzing the results of the survey. |
By discussing the questionnaire questions with an experienced statistician. |
We can never determine this. |
A pretest over a small sample can help us in determining whether questions are clearly understood and whether the order of questions cause a difference in results.

"__________is a widely employed discrete probability distribution in statistics where a set of independent observations constitutes exactly two disjoint outcomes of a trial."
Which option completes the definition given above?
Binomial Distribution |
Cumulative Distribution |
Standard Deviation |
Poisson Distribution |
Hypergeometric Distribution |
Binomial distribution is a widely employed discrete probability distribution in statistics where a set of independent observations constitutes exactly two disjoint outcomes of a trial. Therefore in binomial distribution, an outcome of a random experiment can be classified under two different categories. For example, when a die is tossed once we observe six different numbers, that is x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. If we classified these outcomes as even or odd numbers then we will get two different outcomes. Likewise we can separate the turnover of a company into two categories, such as above and below the target level. Also, we can separate the exam grades simply into two categories, satisfactory and poor. The correct answer is A.

C(8, 3) * C(7, 2) + C(8, 2) * C(7, 3) |
C(15, 3) * C(15, 2) |
C(15, 3) + C(15, 2) |

2.25 |
0.90 |

Exponential distribution is another most significant and extensively used continuous probability distribution. Exponential random variable is frequently used to model the time interval between two events. Some illustrations of random variables that generally conform to model by means of exponential
distribution are presented below.
• Arrival time between two customers.
• Time between two messages.
• Time between telephone calls received by a customer service.
• Time between customers who are arriving to the checkout lane of the supermarket.
• Time between two failures of a certain mechanical device.
