Stat Exam

The document contains a statistics and probability examination with multiple choice questions and short answer questions. The multiple choice section contains 5 questions about discrete random variables, probability distributions, and possible values of random variables. The short answer section asks students to calculate probabilities based on a given probability distribution for the daily demand of movie magazine copies at a variety store. It also asks students to identify 10 given variables as being discrete or continuous.
