For a continuous random variable, the probability that the random variable lies in the interval [a,b] is the area under the pdf curve between a and b.
True
The probability that X takes on a value in the interval [a, b] is the area above this interval and under the graph of the density function

True or False (1 point each) (Correct the ones that are false) The purpose of an interval estimate is to provide information about how close a point estimate, i.e. sample statistic, is to the population parameter. If the population standard deviation is unknown and cannot be estimated from historical data, an interval estimate for the population mean can be constructed by substituting the sample standard deviation and using the t distribution instead of the normal distribution. You cannot determine a...
