1. how many possible values are
included on the x axis of a typical
continuous distribu- tion?
2. the area underneath the probability distribu- 1.0
tion represents the probability of that
range of values occurring and in total
equals:
3. In a normal probability distribution... the majority of data points fall near the
mean
4. an x value along a continuous probability dis- Z score
tribution can be transformed into?
5. what is the probability of a continuous ran- 0
dom variable being 1.0
6. if x is less than the mean, the z score will be? Negative
7. what information is shown on a normal prob- Probabilities and Z score
ability table?

8. a z score tells you? The number of standard deviations x
is away from the mean
9. in an exponential probability distribution... The majority of data points fall
near the
lower values.
10. what is a sample? a group of people or things from a pop-
ulation of interest
11. what technique does not typically Convenience sampling
provide a representative group from
the population?
