In a continuous probability distribution, the probability that x will take on an exact value:
 a. is equal to the height of the curve at that value.
  b. is calculated using the probability density.
  c. is always equal to 0.

 a. The vertical coordinate is the probability density function.
  b. The range of the random variable is found on the y-axis.
  c. The total area represented under the curve will be equal to 1.00.
  d. The probability that x will take on a value between a and b will be the area under the curve between points a and b.
  e. The area under the curve represents the sum of probabilities for all possible outcomes.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
