Discrete Distribution (Playing Card Experiment) Quiz

What material is required for the empirical data procedure in this experiment?

• A spinner with four colors
• A pair of six-sided dice
• One full deck of playing cards
• A bag of colored marbles

What is used to perform the simulation part of the experiment?

• A programmable calculator
• A random number table
• A stopwatch
• A coin

The experimental procedure for empirical data is to:

• Flip a coin ten times
• Roll two dice at once
• Pick one card from shuffled cards
• Deal five cards to each player

Which calculator command is used to generate 10 card draws with four suits?

• randInt(1,4,10)
• rand(4)
• randBin(10,4)
• randNorm(1,4)

One student learning outcome is to demonstrate an understanding of:

• Regression lines
• Continuous distributions
• Long-term probabilities

Students compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a:

• Discrete distribution
• Normal distribution
• Uniform curve
• Exponential model

Another learning outcome asks students to compare a theoretical distribution with a:

• Historical data set
• Population census
• Technology-generated simulation
• Physical survey result

The theoretical distribution for X in the experiment is modeled as:

• X ~ U(_,_)
• X ~ N(_,_)
• X ~ P(_)
• X ~ B(_,_)

What abbreviation is defined as relative frequency?

• PF
• FR
• RF
• PDF

When calculating theoretical probabilities, answers should be rounded to:

• The nearest whole number
• Two decimal places
• Four decimal places
• Three decimal places

The theoretical PDF chart is built based on the distribution described in which section?

• The Discussion section
• The Procedure section
• The Simulation section
• The Histogram section

Which quantity is calculated from the Theoretical Distribution table?

• RF(x = 3)
• P(x = 3)
• Mean of empirical data
• Simulation frequency
