__________T9. When the two events are mutually exclusive, P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B).
__________T10.The mean and the variance are equal in a Poisson probability distribution.
__________T11.The expected value of a probability distribution is another term for the mean.
__________T12.When the binomial distribution is used, the outcomes must be independent.
__________T13.Classical probability uses a frequency distribution to compute probabilities.
__________T14. In the classical probability, all outcomes in the sample space are not equally
likely.
__________T15. The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment is called sample
space.
__________F16. If the two events are independent, they must have the same probability of
occurring.
__________T17. When two events cannot occur at the same time, they are said to be mutually
exclusive.
__________T18. The expected value of a random variable can be thought of as a long-run
average.
__________T19. When objects are arranged in a specific order, the arrangement is called a
permutation.
__________F20. One requirement for a probability distribution is that the sum of all the events
in the sample space must equal 0.
__________F21. A major different between the binomial and the Poisson distributions is the sum
of the outcomes can be greater than 1 for the Poisson.
__________T22. The difference between a random variable and a probability distribution is a
random variable does not include the probability of an event.
