A random variable X is defined as the distance a dart lands from the center of the target. The probability density of the variable is p(x). Which statement about X or its probability distribution is generally true?
X is a discrete random variable with an infinite number of values.
The variance of X is 0.
The probability P(x1 < X < x2) is given by the area under the curve between x1 and x2.
The mean value of X is 0.

Is it true that the probability P(x1 < X < x2) is given by the area under the curve between x1 and x2 ?
OpenStudy (perl):
if P(x) is a continuous density curve
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you mean you actually know this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there is hope

I think that is true
OpenStudy (perl):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you the best
OpenStudy (anonymous):
discrete is finite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It cant be A or D

right, it has to be C
OpenStudy (perl):
actually a discrete distribution can be infinite
OpenStudy (perl):
but discrete is not a continuous variable. here the distance from center is a continuous variable
