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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (perl):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true and IT is C
