question 72

Multiple Choice

A property of continuous probability distributions is that:

• A)Like discrete random variables,the probability distribution can be approximated by a smooth curve.
• B)Probabilities for continuous variables can be approximated using discrete random variables.
• C)Unlike discrete random variables,probabilities can be found using tables.
• D)Unlike discrete random variables,the probability that a continuous random variable equals a specific value is zero;that is,P(X = x)= 0.
• E)Unlike discrete random variables,probabilities for continuous random variables can sum to a value greater than 1.
