Basic Concepts in Probability Distributions

QUESTION 1
A continuous uniform distribution U(100,200) will have the same standard deviationas a continuous uniform distribution U(200,300).
True
False

QUESTION 2
There is a simple formula for normal areas, but we prefer a table for greater accuracy.
True
False

QUESTION 3
The area under a normal curve is 1 only if the distribution is standardized N(0,1).
True
False

QUESTION 4
The area under an exponential curve can exceed 1 because the distribution is right-skewed.
True
False

QUESTION 5
The mean, median, and modeof a normal distributionwill always be the same.
True
False

QUESTION 6
A continuous uniform distribution U(0,800) will have μ = 400 and σ = 230.94.
True
False

QUESTION 7
Any normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
True
False

QUESTION 8
For a continuous random variable, the total area beneath the PDF will be greater than zero but less than one.
True
False

QUESTION 9
Normal distributions differ only in their means and variances.
True
False

QUESTION 10
The height and width of a continuous uniform distribution’s PDF are the same.
True
False

QUESTION 11
The exponential distribution is always skewed right.
True
False

QUESTION 12
If arrivals follow a Poissondistribution, waiting times follow the exponential distribution.
True
False.

QUESTION 1
A continuous uniform distribution U(100,200) will have the same standard deviation as a continuous uniform distribution U(200,300).
Standard deviation in case of U(100,200)=(200-100)/(12)^0.5=28.86751
Standard deviation in case of U(200,300)=(300-200)/(12)^0.5=28.86751
So, Correct option is
True

QUESTION 2
There is a simple formula for normal areas, but we prefer a table for greater …
