True or False |
|
|
|
8) The total area of a normal probability distribution is. Choose one:
| -approximated by the binomial distribution. |
| -1.00. |

| -270 minutes |
| -135 minutes |
11) For the exponential distribution, the mean and standard deviation are equal.
True or |

| -can have only a few discrete values. |
| -can have no values. |
| -can have any value between - ∞ and + ∞. |

| -1 minute |
| -12 minutes |
| -60 minutes |
| -10 minutes |
15) What is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 called? Choose one:
| -Binomial probability distribution |
| -Standard normal distribution |
| -Frequency distribution |
| -Z-score
|
16) A binomial distribution has 50 trials (n = 50) with a probability of success of 0.50 (π=0.50). To use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial, what are the mean and standard deviation? Choose one?
| µ =25 and σ = 4.33 |
| µ =25 and σ = 12.5 |
| µ = 25 and σ = 3.5355 |
| µ =50 and σ = 100 |
17) In an illustration of a normal probability distribution, a shaded area represents. Choose one:
| -a probability |
| -a combination |
| -a standard deviation |
| -a permutation |
18) Two normal distributions are compared. One has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 10. The second normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Which of the following is true?
