Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1RE
To determine
Whether the statement “A continuous random variable can take on values greater than 1” is true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RE
The statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
A continuous random variable can take on any value in some interval of real numbers.
Example:
Consider the experiment of filling 12 ounce cans with coffee.
Let X be the amount of coffee in a randomly chosen can.
X can take any value between 0 and 12.
That is,
Therefore, a continuous random variable X can take on values greater than 1.
Thus, the above statement is true.
