b. False
If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.1 and P(B) = 0.5, then P(A B) = .6.

b. False
If 50 of 250 people contacted make a donation to the city symphony, then the relative frequency
method assigns a probability of .2 to the outcome of making a donation.
a. True
b. False
An automobile dealership is waiting to take delivery of nine new cars. Today, anywhere from zero to all
nine cars might be delivered. It is appropriate to use the classical method to assign a probability of 1/10
to each of the possible numbers that could be delivered.

A method of assigning probabilities that assumes the experimental outcomes are equally likely is
referred to as the

A random variable that can take on any value along a line segment is a continuous random variable. T/F
True
Experimental outcomes must occur as numerical values in order to define their probability distribution.
