Statistics and Probability Activity Sheet Answer Key

This document contains an answer key for a statistics and probability activity with 3 sections. Section I classifies random variables as discrete or continuous. Section II determines if given values can represent a probability distribution for a random variable X that takes values 1, 2, 3, or 4. Section III defines a random variable X for the number of defective test kits out of 3 kits and constructs its probability distribution and possible values.
