  • A. Positively skewed
  • B. Negative skwed
  • C. Symmeteric
  • D. No shape

Explanation: When p equals q, the probabilities of success and failure are balanced, so the binomial distribution is symmetric around its mean.

Correct answer: Symmeteric
  • A. Positively skewed
  • B. Negatively skewed
  • C. Symmetric
  • D. Bell shapedMaster Coding Skills

Explanation: For a binomial distribution, skewness has the sign of q minus p. Here q is 0.4 and p is 0.6, so q minus p is negative and the distribution…

Correct answer: Negatively skewed
  • A. Gamma distribution
  • B. Binomial distribution
  • C. Negative binomial dis
  • D. Possion distribution Mathematics

Explanation: The number of events or successes occurring in a fixed time interval under a constant average rate follows the Poisson distribution.

Correct answer: Possion distribution Mathematics
  • A. Possion distribution
  • B. Exponential distribution
  • C. Gamma distribution
  • D. Beta distribution

Explanation: The time between successive successes in a Poisson process follows an exponential distribution because it models the waiting time for the…

Correct answer: Exponential distribution
  • A. From larger values of x
  • B. From smallest upto specific value of x
  • C. From zero to specific value of x
  • D. None of theseMarketing

Explanation: The cumulative distribution function is F(x) = P(X ≤ x), so it accumulates probability from the smallest possible values up to the…

Correct answer: From smallest upto specific value of x
  • A. Variable
  • B. Probability distribution
  • C. Values
  • D. None of these

Explanation: A random variable is defined together with a probability distribution that describes how likely its possible values are.

Correct answer: Probability distribution
  • A. None
  • B. X-axis
  • C. Y-axis
  • D. Along Y=X

Explanation: The normal curve approaches the horizontal axis indefinitely but never actually touches it, so it is asymptotic to the X-axis.

Correct answer: X-axis
  • A. have no Mode
  • B. Multi Modal
  • C. Bi Modal
  • D. Tri Modal
  • E. Uni Modal

Explanation: A normal distribution has one peak at its mean, median, and mode, so it is unimodal.

Correct answer: Uni Modal
  • A. β1=β4
  • B. Mean=Mode=Median
  • C. µ1=µ4
  • D. µ1=µ2

Explanation: For the standard symmetric, unimodal distribution, the center is the same by all three measures: mean = median = mode.

Correct answer: Mean=Mode=Median
  • A. 49
  • B. 16
  • C. 7
  • D. 4

Explanation: In the notation X ~ N(16, 49), the first parameter is the mean and the second is usually the variance.

Correct answer: 16
  • A. 135
  • B. 50
  • C. 70
  • D. 60

Explanation: For a linear transformation, E(Y) = 5E(X) + 10. Substituting E(X) = 10 gives E(Y) = 5(10) + 10 = 60.

Correct answer: 60
  • A. 1
  • B. Mean value
  • C. 0.5
  • D. 2
  • E. -1

Explanation: The normal curve is symmetric about its mean, so the total area is divided equally between the two sides.

Correct answer: 0.5
  • A. None
  • B. Mode
  • C. Standard Deviation
  • D. Mean

Explanation: The standard deviation controls the spread of a normal curve: a larger value makes it wider and flatter, while a smaller value makes it…

Correct answer: Standard Deviation
  • A. None
  • B. Mean
  • C. Quartile
  • D. Standard Deviation
  • E. Mean Deviation

Explanation: For a normal distribution, the standard deviation determines the curve's spread and therefore its shape or flatness.

Correct answer: Standard Deviation
  • A. 1
  • B. 0.5
  • C. 0.3989
  • D. None of these

Explanation: The standard normal density is highest at its centre, Z = 0, where its ordinate is 1 divided by √(2π), approximately 0.3989.

Correct answer: 0.3989
  • A. 0.5
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. 3

Explanation: A normal distribution has zero skewness, so β1 = 0. Its moment coefficient of kurtosis is β2 = 3, which is the mesokurtic benchmark.

Correct answer: 3
  • A. β1
  • B. µ2
  • C. β2
  • D. µ3

Explanation: The third central moment, μ3, carries the direction of skewness: it is positive for right skewness and negative for left skewness.

Correct answer: µ3
  • A. 100
  • B. 1
  • C. 50%
  • D. 1%

Explanation: The total probability represented by a continuous probability distribution is 1, so the entire area under the normal curve is 1, or 100%.

Correct answer: 1
  • A. Symmetrical
  • B. non-symmetrical
  • C. + vely skewed
  • D. -vely skewed

Explanation: The normal curve is symmetric about its mean, with equal left and right halves and zero skewness.

Correct answer: Symmetrical
  • A. Zero
  • B. Negative
  • C. Positive
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Because z = 0 is the centre of the standard normal curve, values to its right are positive z-values.

Correct answer: Positive
