Exercises
Build confidence in probability and statistical distributions with this introductory quiz. Explore fair coin flips and dice rolls, independent events, binomial models for repeated trials, and distributions used for continuous data and waiting times. You will also review key concepts including the mean of the standard normal distribution, the meaning of area under a probability density function, measures of dispersion, and symmetric distributions. Ideal for students learning the foundations of probability, random variables, and basic statistics.
Answer the questions below and check the explanation for each answer.

The probability of getting a head on a fair coin is 0.5 as there are two possible outcomes. head or tail.
The binomial distribution is used when there are fixed trials each having two possible outcomes.
With three even numbers (2, 4, 6) on a die, the probability is calculated as 3/6 or 1/2.
The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
The normal distribution is a continuous distribution, whereas the binomial and geometric are discrete.
The area under the probability density function over an interval gives the probability of the random variable falling within that interval.
If two events are independent, the probability of both occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.
The exponential distribution is frequently used to model the time between events in a Poisson process.
Standard deviation measures the dispersion or spread of a set of data points.
The normal distribution is a symmetric distribution with the mean, median, and mode all located at its center.
