True or False Questions; Please select the correct answer. (1 points each)

T F 1. The probability that X takes on a value that is between 3 and inclusive of 4 can be written as P(3 < X ( 4).

T F 2. P(X > x ) + P(X < x) + P(X = x) = 1.

T F 3. If P(X > x) = 0.34 and P(X = x) = 0.10, then P(X ( x) = 0.56.

T F 4- Using the classical viewpoint, the probability of an event happening is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

T F 5- The probability assigned to an event that is certain not to occur is 1.0.

Multiple
