To standardize a variable you
A) subtract its mean and divide by its standard deviation.
B) integrate the area below two points under the normal distribution.
C) add and subtract 1.96 times the standard deviation to the variable.
D) divide it by its standard deviation, as long as its mean is 1.
Answer: A
Probability
- The sample average is a random variable and
- If variables with a multivariate normal distribution have covariances that equal zero, then
- Assume that Y is normally distributed N(miu, sigma) . Moving from the mean (miu) 1.96 standard deviations to the left and 1.96 standard deviations to the right, then the area under the normal p.d.f. is
- The correlation between X and Y
- For a normal distribution, the skewness and kurtosis measures are as follows:
- The expected value of a discrete random variable
- The cumulative probability distribution shows the probability
- The probability of an event A or B (Pr(A or B)) to occur equals
- The probability of an outcome
