- 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
