Stat Recruitment Question Answer Key

The document provides information about statistics concepts and calculations: 1) It gives the mode, median, mean, and standard deviation for a sample data set. The standard deviation would increase if the value 6 was replaced with 24. 2) It defines common statistics terms like census, probability, experiment, population, and descriptive statistics. 3) It calculates probabilities for examples like rolling dice, drawing balls from a bag.

1. There are 3 arrangements of the word DAD, namely DAD, ADD, and DDA.

How many

arrangements are there of the word PROBABILITY? = 9979200

2. There are six men and seven women in a ballroom dancing class. If four men and four

women are chosen and paired off, how many pairings are possible? = 4! ways.

3. Let A and B be two events. Suppose the probability that neither A or B occurs is 2/3.

What is the probability that one or both occur? =1/3

Given the data set

4 , 10 , 7 , 7 , 6 , 9 , 3 , 8 , 9

Find

1.) the mode,

2.) the median,

3.) the mean,

4.) the sample standard deviation.

5.) If we replace the data value 6 in the data set above by 24, will the standard deviation increase,
decrease or stay the same?

Answers:

1.) The given data set has 2 modes: 7 and 9

2.) order data : 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 9 , 10 : median = 7

3.) (mean) : m = (3+4+6+7+7+8+9+9+10) / 9 = 7

4.)
x (x – m) (x - m)²

4 -3 9

10 3 9

7 0 0

7 0 0

6 -1 1

9 2 4

3 -4 16

8 1 1

9 2 4

sum = 44

sample standard deviation = 2.35 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

5.) The standard deviation will increase since 24 is further from away from the other data values than 6.

6). One of the most common statistics worldwide is a periodic count of the population. What is this
known as?

- Census

7.) What is the probability of rolling 3 dice, and them all landing on a 6?

- 1/216

8.) You pick two cards out of a standard pack of 52. The first card is a king. What's the probability of the
second card also being a king?

- 1/17
9.) It is a planned operation carried out under controlled conditions.

- Experiment

10.) This refers to a set of all possible measurements.

- Population

11.) A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the
probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?

- 10/21

12.) It is any numerical measurement related to a sample.

- Statistic

13.) It is the term given to the analysis of data that helps describe, show or summarize data in a
meaningful way. - Descriptive Statistics
