1. illustrates a random variable (discrete and continuous).

M11/12SP-IIIa-1

1. What is a random variable?

A) A variable whose value is fixed and predictable


B) A variable that can take on multiple values based on the outcome of a random event
C) A variable that only takes on values that are whole numbers
D) A variable that always follows a normal distribution

2. Which of the following best describes a discrete random variable?

A) A variable that can take on an infinite number of values within a given range
B) A variable that can only take on a finite or countable number of values
C) A variable that changes continuously over time
D) A variable that has no relationship with probability distributions

2. distinguishes between a discrete and a continuous


random variable. M11/12SP-IIIa-2

3. Which of the following is a key characteristic of a continuous random variable?


A) It can take on any value within a given range, including decimals.
B) It can only take specific, countable values.
C) It always follows a normal distribution.
D) It has no relation to probability.
4. Which statement best differentiates a discrete random variable from a continuous random variable?
A) A discrete random variable takes whole number values, while a continuous random variable takes only decimal
values.
B) A discrete random variable has countable possible values, while a continuous random variable can take any
value within a given range.
C) A discrete random variable changes over time, while a continuous random variable remains constant.
D) A discrete random variable must always follow a uniform distribution, while a continuous random variable
follows a normal distribution.

5. Which of the following is an example of a continuous random variable?


A) The number of students in a class
B) The number of books on a shelf
C) The height of a person
D) The number of cars in a parking lot

3. finds the possible values of a random variable. M11/12SP-IIIa-3

6. Which of the following are the possible values of a random variable from the experiment. The experiment is tossing 2 fair of dice.
A) 2≥12
B) 2>12
C) 2<12
D) 1 to 6

7. Based on the following possible random variables: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 10. What could be the experiment perform?
A) Drawing a card from a deck of card
B) Trowing a fair of dice
C) 4x toss coin
D) Sum of 2 fair dice

8. A fair six-sided die is rolled. Which of the following represents the possible values of the random variable X,
where X is the number shown on the die?
a) {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
b) {1,2,3,4,5,6}
c) {2,4,6}
d) {1,3,5,7}

9. A bag contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls. A ball is randomly drawn, and Yrepresents the number of red balls
drawn. What are the possible values of Y?
a) {0,1,2}
b) {0,1}
c) {1,2,3}
d) {0,1,2,3}

10. A random variable Z represents the number of heads obtained when flipping two fair coins. Which of the
following statements best describes the possible values of Z?
a) Z can take any integer value from 0 to 2, as the number of heads in two coin flips must be either 0, 1, or 2.
b) Z can take any integer from 0 to 3, since there are three coin flips.
c) Z can take any integer from 0 to 4, since the sum of heads and tails is always 4.
d) Z can take decimal values since the probability of getting heads is 0.5.
