试卷答案如下：

一、多项选择题（每题2分，共20题）

1.B

解析思路：选项b)提到采样分布总是正态分布，这与中心极限定理的结论不符，因为只有在样本量足够大时，采样分布才会近似正态分布。

2.B

解析思路：选项b)描述的是分类变量，因为它表示的是类别或分组，而不是数值。

3.A

解析思路：对于正态分布，均值、中位数和众数是相等的，所以均值和标准差都是100和15。

4.A

解析思路：抛一枚公平的六面骰子，出现6的概率是1/6。

5.A

解析思路：使用二项分布的公式计算P(X=3)=(5choose3)*(0.4)^3*(0.6)^2=0.246。

6.B

解析思路：均值是中心趋势的度量，它表示数据的平均水平。

7.A

解析思路：使用标准正态分布表查找z-score对应的概率，z=(45-100)/10=-5.5，对应的概率是0.00001，所以小于45的概率是0.1587。

8.B

解析思路：样本方差的公式是(Σx-n)/(n-1)，它是无偏估计量。

9.A

解析思路：相关系数的范围是从-1到1，表示完全正相关、完全负相关或无相关。

10.B

解析思路：样本量增加，样本均值的标准误差减小，因此新标准差是原来标准差的1/√4=2.5。

...（此处省略其余题目答案及解析思路，格式同上）...
