STATISTICS MATERIALS

PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

1. In a local bakery, they bake a batch of 10 chocolate chip cookies every hour.
Based on past records, the number of cookies with chocolate chips (out of
10) in each batch follows the probability distribution below:

Number of cookies with Probability


chips (X) (P(X))

0 0.1

1 0.2

2 0.3

3 0.2

4 0.1

5 0.1

The bakery uses this distribution to forecast how many cookies with chips will be
in each batch they bake.

Questions:

1. What is the probability that there are exactly 3 cookies with chips in a
batch?
2. What is the expected number of cookies with chips in a batch?
3. What is the variance in the number of cookies with chips in a batch?
4. What is the probability that there are more than 2 cookies with chips in a
batch?
2. A company conducts a survey to determine the number of customers who
prefer a particular brand of soda. The company finds the following probability
distribution for the number of customers (out of 10 randomly selected customers)
who prefer the brand of soda:

Number of customers who prefer Probability


soda (X) (P(X))

0 0.05

1 0.15

2 0.25

3 0.30

4 0.15

5 0.10

Questions:

1. What is the probability that exactly 3 customers prefer the soda?


2. What is the expected number of customers who prefer the soda?
3. What is the variance in the number of customers who prefer the soda?
4. What is the probability that fewer than 2 customers prefer the soda?
MEAN, VARIANCE, STANDARD DEVIATION

1. The probability distribution shows the number of items a


customer buys in a bookstore and their corresponding
probabilities. Find the mean, variance,and standard deviation of
this distribution:

x 1 2 3 4 5

p(x) 0.6 0.28 0.07 0.03 0.02

2. The number of shoes sold per day at a retail store is shown in


the table. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation:

x 19 20 21 22 23

p(x) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.2 0.1


NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
1. P( 0 < z < 1.65 )
2. P(-2.3 < z < 0 )
3. P(z > 0.56)
4. P(z < -1.8 )
5. P( -2.3 < z < 0.79 )
6. If the systolic blood pressure for a certain group of obese
people has a mean of 132 and a standard deviation of 8, find the
probability that a randomly selected person will have the ff.
Blood pressure. Assume the variable is normally distributed:
a.) Above 130
b.) Above 150
c.) Between 125 and 158
7. An average time a person wishes to select people in the zoo is
62 minutes. The standard deviation is 12 minutes. If a visitor is
selected at random, find the probability that he or she spends
at least 80 minutes.
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
1. The average age of accountants is 43 years, with a standard
deviation of 5 years. If an accounting firm employs 30
accountants, find the probability that the average age of the
group is greater than 44.2 years old.
2. A survey found that a family generates an average of 17.2
pounds of garbage per week. Assume that the standard
deviation of the distribution is 2.5 pounds. Find the probability
that the mean of the sample of 55 families will be between 17 to
18 pounds
CONFIDENCE INTERVAL
Known Standard Deviation
1. The dean of a large university wishes to estimate the average
age of students presently enrolled. From past studies, the
standard deviation is known to be 2 years. A sample of 50
students is selected, the mean is found to be 19.2 years. Find
the 99% confidence of the population mean.
2. A sample of 50 days showed that fast food restaurants served
an average of 182 customers during lunch ( 11:00am to 2:00pm).
The standard deviation of the sample is 8. Find the 95%
confidence interval.
3. The mean of the maximum loads supported by 60 cables is
11.09 tons and the standard deviation of 0.73. Find the 90%
confidence interval.

Known Standard Deviation


1. The average hemoglobin reading for a sample of 20 teachers
was 16 grams per 100 milliliters, with a sample standard
deviation of 2 grams. Find the 95% confidence interval of the
true mean.
2. A sample of 25 two-year-old chickens shows that they lay an
average of 21 eggs per month. The standard deviation of the
sample was 2 eggs. Find the 99% confidence interval of the true
mean
