ProbabilityThe total area under any curve representing the distribution of a variable equals 1. Explain why.
.
A. The total area under any curve representing the distribution of a variable does not always equals 1. The area under the standard normal curve does equal 1 but it varies by distribution.
B. The area under a curve representing the distribution of a variable is equal to 1 because the area under a standard normal curve is equal to 1 and it became accepted that the area under all density curves should also equal 1.
C. It is set to equal 1 to make calculations easier but it could have been set at any amount.
D. Percentages for a variable are equal to areas under its density curve expressed as a percentage. An area of 1 is 100% when expressed as a percentage and 100% represents the entirety of the area.

StatisticsRecords taken from a hospital show that the times between arriving patients have a mean of 8.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 8.7 minutes. Based solely on the values of these two
parameters, explain why it is unreasonable to assume that the times between arriving patients is normally distributed or even approximately so.
Select the correct choice below.
*****
A. It is unreasonable because the standard deviation must be greater than the mean for a variable to be normally distributed. The given standard deviation is equal to the mean.
B. It is unreasonable because the time between arriving patients cannot be less than 0 minutes and all the values between 0 and the mean lie within one standard deviation.
C. It is unreasonable because the standard deviation must be less than the mean for a variable to be normally distributed. The given standard deviation is equal to the mean.
D. It is unreasonable because the time between arriving patients cannot be less than 0 minutes and all the values between 0 and the mean lie within two standard deviations.
