LONG QUIZ 1st-Statistics and Probability

1. This document is the first quiz for a statistics and probability class. 2. It contains two sections - the first asks students to identify 10 scenarios as describing either discrete or continuous random variables. 3. The second section contains probability problems - calculating the probability of sums of dice rolls, finding the mean number of heads from coin tosses, and calculating the variance and standard deviation of items sold at a store.

II. Solving.
1. Using the sample space for rolling two dice, construct a probability distribution for the random variable X
representing the sum of the numbers that appear then find the following probabilities.
a. at most 5
b. at least 8
c. P(4< X ≤ 7)
d. P( X ≥ 11)
e. P( X< 11)

2. Find the mean of the probability distribution involving the random variable X that gives the number of
heads that appear after tossing three coins. The probability distribution is given below.

Number of Heads X 0 1 2 3
Probability of X 0.125 0.375 0.375 0.125

3. The number of items sold per day at a retail store, with its corresponding probabilities, is shown in the
table. Find the variance and standard deviation of the distribution.
