Step 1
The binomial distribution, however, deals with discrete events, such as the number of successes in a fixed number of trials, so it is not continuous. - A categorical distribution is one where the possible outcomes are categories or labels, such as the distribution Show more…

6. Which discrete probability distribution has the same value for its mean and variance? Poisson Hypergeometric Binomial Uniform 7. Which is not a characteristic of Binomial probability? Each outcome is classified into one of two mutually exclusive categories Probability of success is the same for each trial Each trial is independent Each of these is correct 8. Which probability distribution can be used for dealing cards or taking marbles out of a sack without replacement? Poisson Hypergeometric Binomial Normal 1. Which two are continuous probability distributions that are symmetrical? Normal and exponential Exponential and uniform Uniform and Normal None of these 2. The P(x) for which of the following is 1/(b – a)? Normal distribution Uniform distribution Exponential distribution All of these
