QUIZ # 1

Study and Analyze

1. The number of shoes sold per day at a retail store
is shown in the table below. Illustrate the mean,
variance, and standard deviation of this
distribution.

2. The number of patients seen in the

Emergency Room in any given hour is a
random variable represented by x. The
probability distribution for x is:

3. Suppose that a coin is to be tossed four times, and let X represent “the number of TAILS that can
come up”. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of this distribution.

Test II.
Identify whether the given experiment involves a discrete random variable or a continuous random
variable. Write HAPPY if the random variable is discrete and VALENTINES if the random variable is
continuous.

QUIZ # 2
Read the following problems carefully. Sketch and label each curve.
