Expected value is also called as __________
- A.
Mean
- B.
Variance
- C.
Standard deviation
- D.
Experience
Correct Answer
A. MeanExplanation
Expected value is also called as mean. The expected value represents the average outcome of a random variable over a large number of trials. It is calculated by multiplying each possible outcome by its probability and summing them up. The mean is a measure of central tendency and provides information about the average value or expected outcome of a given variable. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is mean.Rate this question:

Standard deviation is _______ of variance.
- A.
Square root
- B.
Square
- C.
Cube
- D.
Mean
Correct Answer
A. Square rootExplanation
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Variance measures the average of the squared differences from the mean, while the standard deviation is the square root of the variance and represents the average amount of deviation from the mean. Therefore, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.Rate this question:

If p(x) is probability mass function and p(x) = k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k then k = __________
- A.
1/15
- B.
1/12
- C.
15
- D.

Correct Answer
A. 1/15Explanation
The given probability mass function states that the probabilities of different outcomes are in the form of k, 2k, 3k, 4k, and 5k. In a probability mass function, the sum of all probabilities must equal 1. Therefore, we can set up the equation k + 2k + 3k + 4k + 5k = 1. Simplifying the equation, we get 15k = 1. Dividing both sides by 15, we find that k = 1/15.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. (n+1)/2Explanation
In a discrete uniform distribution, all outcomes have an equal probability. The expected value, E(X), represents the average value of the random variable X. In this case, the random variable X can take on values from 1 to n with equal probability. The formula for the expected value of a discrete uniform distribution is (n+1)/2, where n represents the number of possible outcomes. Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is (n+1)/2.Rate this question:

- A.
0.4
- B.
0.5
- C.
0.15
- D.
0.25
Correct Answer
A. 0.4Explanation
The probability function p(x) represents the probability of a certain value of x occurring. In this case, x can take on the values 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 with corresponding probabilities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.15, and 0.25 respectively. The question asks for the probability of x being greater than or equal to 3, which includes the values 3 and 4. The probability of x being 3 is 0.15 and the probability of x being 4 is 0.25. Adding these probabilities together gives 0.4, which is the probability of x being greater than or equal to 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4.Rate this question:

If p(x) is probability mass function where p(x) = c, 2c, 4c, 2c, c then c = ______
- A.
1/10
- B.
10
- C.
2/10
- D.
1
Correct Answer
A. 1/10Explanation
The given probability mass function assigns probabilities to the values x as c, 2c, 4c, 2c, and c. Since the sum of all probabilities in a probability mass function must equal 1, we can set up the equation c + 2c + 4c + 2c + c = 1. Simplifying this equation gives us 10c = 1. Dividing both sides by 10 gives us c = 1/10. Therefore, the value of c is 1/10.Rate this question:

In Binomial distribution p is called probability of _______
- A.
Success
- B.
Failure
- C.
Mean
- D.
Variance
Correct Answer
A. SuccessExplanation
In Binomial distribution, p represents the probability of success. This means that p is the likelihood of achieving a desired outcome or event in a series of independent trials. The binomial distribution is used to model situations where there are only two possible outcomes, success or failure, in each trial. Therefore, p is the probability associated with the occurrence of the desired outcome, which is success.Rate this question:

In discrete uniform distribution var(X) = ________
- A.
( n2 - 1 ) /12
- B.
N-1
- C.
N/12
- D.
N
Correct Answer
A. ( n2 - 1 ) /12Explanation
In discrete uniform distribution, var(X) represents the variance of the random variable X. The formula for variance in a discrete uniform distribution is (n^2 - 1) / 12, where n is the number of possible outcomes. This formula is derived from the properties of a discrete uniform distribution, where all outcomes have equal probabilities. The variance measures the spread or variability of the distribution, and in this case, it is calculated by taking the difference between each outcome and the mean, squaring those differences, and then averaging them. Hence, the correct answer is (n^2 - 1) / 12.Rate this question:

The formula to find q in the binomial distribution is 1-p. This is because q represents the probability of the event not occurring, while p represents the probability of the event occurring. Since the sum of the probabilities of an event occurring and not occurring is always 1, we can find q by subtracting p from 1.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. ContinuousExplanation
A random variable is said to be continuous if it can take any value within a given interval. This means that there are infinite possible values that the random variable can assume, and it can take on any value within the specified range. In contrast, a discrete random variable can only take on specific, separate values. The terms "exponential" and "uniform" are not relevant to this question and do not describe the property of a random variable taking any value within an interval.Rate this question:
