Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between discrete random variables and continuous random variables?

  • Discrete random variables are used for continuous data, while continuous random variables are used for discrete data.
  • Discrete random variables do not involve probabilities, while continuous random variables do.
  • Discrete random variables have a countable number of values, while continuous random variables assume an infinitely large number of values. (correct)
  • Discrete random variables assume an infinitely large number of values, while continuous random variables have a countable number of values.

    • What is the function that describes the probability of each outcome in a discrete random variable?

  • Expected Value Function
  • Normal Distribution Function
  • Probability Mass Function (correct)
  • Variance Function

    • What does the Central Limit Theorem state?

  • As the sample size decreases, the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution.
  • As the sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the sample mean becomes more skewed.
  • As the sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a uniform distribution.
  • As the sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution. (correct)
