A. disjoint.
B. complements.
C. independent.

2. The weight of a medium-sized orange selected at random from a large bin of oranges at the local supermarket is a random variable with mean µ = 12 ounces and standard deviation = 1.2 ounces.

A. 0.00 ounces.
B. 1.70 ounces.
C. 2.88 ounces.

3. A process is called random if

A. individual outcomes are uncertain but happen in a predictable manner through time.
