Probability Distributions starts at 10 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Probability Distributions. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A continuous random variable X is uniformly distributed between 0 and 2. What is the probability that X is less than 1?
A fair coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads?
A random variable X has a probability mass function given by P(X=0)=0.4, P(X=1)=0.4, P(X=2)=0.2. What is the variance of X?
A random variable X has a uniform distribution on the interval [a, b]. What is the mean of X?
