Worked practice questions

A **discrete** random variable is one whose possible values:

  1. Are finite or countably infinite
  2. Form an interval of real numbers (uncountably infinite)
  3. Are always negative
  4. Are obtained only by measurement
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Are finite or countably infinite

**Discrete RV:** finite or countably infinite values (typically non-negative integers — number of heads, defective items, etc.). Continuous RV has uncountably infinite values forming an interval.

tan(45°) equals:

  1. ∞
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. √3
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 1

We have tan(45°) = sin(45°)/cos(45°). That is tan(45°) = (1/√2)/(1/√2). So tan(45°) = 1.

The arithmetic mean of n values x1, x2, ..., xn is:

  1. sum of all values / n
  2. Product / n
  3. n / sum
  4. Largest value
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. sum of all values / n

Mean = (sum of values) / n. Most common measure of central tendency. Sensitive to outliers.
