Learning Objectives and Exam Schedule
On Back
6.1 Discrete and Continuous Random Variables
 COMPUTE probabilities using the probability distribution of a discrete random variable.
 CALCULATE and INTERPRET the mean (expected value) of a discrete random variable.
 CALCULATE and INTERPRET the standard deviation of a discrete random variable.
 COMPUTE probabilities using the probability distribution of certain continuous random variables.
6.2 Transforming and Combining Random Variables
 DESCRIBE the effects of transforming a random variable by adding or subtracting a constant and multiplying or dividing
by a constant.
 FIND the mean and standard deviation of the sum or difference of independent random variables.
 FIND probabilities involving the sum or difference of independent Normal random variables.
6.3 Binomial and Geometric Random Variables
 DETERMINE whether the conditions for using a binomial random variable are met.
 COMPUTE and INTERPRET probabilities involving binomial distributions.
 CALCULATE the mean and standard deviation of a binomial random variable. INTERPRET these values in context.
