Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.

T 1. Deterministic techniques assume that no uncertainty exists in model parameters.

F 2. The probabilities of mutually exclusive events sum to zero.

T 3. A joint probability is the probability that two or more events that are not mutually exclusive can occur simultaneously.

T 4. For a continuous distribution involving a continuous random variable X, P(X <= 100) = P(X < 100).

F 5. Deterministic techniques include uncertainty and assume that there can be more than one model solution.
