Which one of the following statements is True? The Odds against A equals 1 – Odds in favor of A. For a mound shaped distribution if the skew is positive then the mean is greater than the median. P(n, r) = C(n, r) / r! The probability of an event equals the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of unfavorable outcomes. A Bimodal distribution is symmetric.

Which one of the following statements is True?

  1. The Odds against A equals 1 – Odds in favor of A.
  2. For a mound shaped distribution if the skew is positive then the mean is greater than the median.
  3. P(n, r) = C(n, r) / r!
  4. The probability of an event equals the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of unfavorable outcomes.
  5. A Bimodal distribution is symmetric.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Statement 1 : False 

Odds in favor of A  = Favorable outcomesUnfavorable outcomes

Odds in against A  = Unfavorable outcomesFavorable outcomes

Statement 2 : True.  

For positive skewed distribution : Mode < median < mean 
For symmetric distribution : Mode = mean = Median  
For negative skewed distribution : Mode > median > mean
