Across
2. Random variable that takes on all values in an
interval [continuous]
7. Type of curve that describes the probability
distribution of a continuous random variable [density]
8. Swiss family of mathematicians. Jakob made
significant contributions to probability [Bernoulli]
12. A variable whose value is a numerical outcome of
a random phenomenon [random]
13. Probability of an individual outcome in a
continuous probability distribution [zero]
14. When random variables are not independent, the
variance of their sum depends on the _ between
them. [correlation]
15. Law of large _: As the number of observations
increases, the mean of the observations approaches
the true mean of the population. [numbers]
16. Square root of the variance: standard _ [deviation]
Down
1. Random variable that has a countable number of
possible values [discrete]
2. Any linear _ of independent normal random
variables is also normally distributed [combination]
3. This distribution's density curve looks like a
rectangle [uniform]
4. Probability distributions of discrete random
variables can be pictured using a _ [histogram]
5. If X and Y are independent random variables, the
variance of X±Y is the _ of the variances of X and Y
[sum]
6. The probability _ of a random variable tells us the
possible values of X and how probabilities are
assigned to those values [distribution]
9. The mean of a random variable is called its _ value
[expected]
10. Name for a distribution described by N(mu, sigma)
[normal]
11. A measure of variability around the mean
[variance]
