Let ZZ be a discrete random variable taking one of the four distributions covered in Chapter 10. Suppose you know that Var(Z)=(k+1)E(Z)Var(Z)=(k+1)E(Z) where kk is the last non-zero digit of your student ID number. Determine the distribution of ZZ and find its parameter(s), explaining your argument carefully.

X1, X2, X3, and X4 are normally distributed random variables: X, - N(0,0), X, - N(0,1), X3 - N(1,0), and X4 - N(1,1). The variable(s) which follow(s) a standard normal distribution is (are) X, Y1, Y,, and Y, are normally distributed random variables. Use the normal cumulative distribution function to answer the following questions. If Y, - N(5,9), Pr (Y, 55.5) =. If Y2 - N(0,25), Pr (Y2 > 10) = If Y3 - N(29,16), Pr (20s Y3 5 40) =U.
