P(X) 0.1 0.25 0.15 0.1 0.35 0.05

Find the probability that x is greater than 0 and less than or equals 5.

• 0.1
• 0.90
• 0.60
• 1

14-Choose the correct probability distribution table for "the difference between
the number of heads and the number of tails" when 3 balanced coins are
tossed.

X -3 -1 1 3
P(X) 1/8 3/8 3/8 1/8

X -3 -1 1 3
P(X) 2/8 3/8 1/8 2/8

X -3 -1 1 3
P(X) 1/6 3/6 3/6 1/6

X -3 -1 1 3
P(X) 1/8 2/8 4/8 1/8

15-For the standard normal distribution, what is the area within 2.5 standard
deviations of the mean?
