Questions 1:

The following is an excerpt from the cumulative distribution function for the standard normal random variable table:

quantity exercise:standardized random variable

A variable is normally distributed with a mean of 2.00 and a variance of 16.00. Using the excerpt, the probability of observing a value of 7.40 or less is closest to:

A 、63.3%.

B 、91.2%.

C、 96.8%.

Questions 2:

Which of the following most accurately describes how to standardize a random variable X?

A 、Subtract the mean of X from X, and then divide that result by the standard deviation of the standard normal distribution.

B 、Divide X by the difference between the standard deviation of X and the standard deviation of the standard normal distribution.

C、Subtract the mean of X from X, and then divide that result by the standard deviation of X.

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. First the outcome of interest, 7.40, is standardized for the given normal distribution:

Then, the given table of values is used to find the probability of a Z-value being less than or equal to 1.35 standard deviations above the mean. The value is P(Z ≤ 1.35) = 0.9115 = 91.2%

A is incorrect; it divides 5.4 (that is the result of 7.4 – 2) by the variance, 16, and uses 0.34 as the z-value: P(Z≤0.34) = 0.6331 = 63.3%.

C is incorrect; it divides the value, 7.4, by the standard deviation, 4, and uses 1.85 as the Z-value: P(Z ≤ 1.85) = 0.9678 = 96.8%.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. There are two steps in standardizing a random variable X: Subtract the mean of X from X, and then divide that result by the standard deviation of X. This is represented by the following formula: Z = (X – μ)/σ.

A is incorrect. There are two steps in standardizing a random variable X: Subtract the mean of X from X, and then divide that result by the standard deviation of X. This is represented by the following formula: Z = (X – μ)/σ.

B is incorrect. There are two steps in standardizing a random variable X: Subtract the mean of X from X, and then divide that result by the standard deviation of X. This is represented by the following formula: Z = (X – μ)/σ

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點擊了解>
