1. One of the simplest and most efficient measures of central tendency is the mean. It is the value obtained as:

b. summing up the values in the distribution divided by the total number of values
c. by taking the most frequent value in the distribution
d. none of the above.

spread out from the center the set of values is.
Mean Deviation =
∑ ( x − mean )' s = (1 − 3.9) + (2 − 3.9) + 2(3 − 3.9) + 3( 4 − 3.9) + (5 − 3.9) + (6 − 3.9) + (7 − 3.9) = 0

In statistics and probability theory, standard deviation (represented by the symbol sigma, σ) shows how much
variation or dispersion exists from the average (mean), or expected value. A low standard deviation indicates that the
data points tend to be very close to the mean; high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out
over a large range of values.

In mathematics, the root mean square (abbreviated as RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is
a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variates are positive and
negative, e.g., sinusoids. RMS is used in various fields, including electrical engineering; one of the more prominent
uses of RMS is in the field of signal amplifiers.

a. 19/45 b. 1/3 c. 23/45 d. 5/9
Ans. c. 23/45
Given:
6R 8R
4B 10B
In this problem, two cases might happen (not clearly stated the color of the first ball and the second ball):
First Case: First ball from the first box is red and Second ball from another box is blue
6 10 1
Pred and blue = Pred x Pblue = x =
10 18 3
Second Case: First ball from the first box is blue and Second ball from another box is red
4 8 8
Pblue and red = Pblue x Pred = x =
10 18 45
Thus,
1 8 23
Pfirst case or second case = Pfirst case + Psecond case = + =
3 45 45
66. A box contains 3 white marbles and 6 green marbles, another urn contains 5 white marbles and 2 green marbles.
Determine the probability that one is green and the other is white.
a. 0.35 b. 0.40 c. 0.52 d. 0.57
Ans. d. 0.57
Given:
3W 5W
6G 2G
In this problem, two cases might happen (not clearly stated the color of the first marble and the second marble):
First Case: First marble from the first box is green and Second ball from another urn is white
6 5 10
Pgreed and white = Pgreen x Pwhite = x =
9 7 21
Second Case: First marble from the first box is white and Second ball from another urn is green
3 2 2
Pwhite and green = Pwhite x Pgreen = x =
9 7 21
Thus,
10 2
Pfirst case or second case = Pfirst case + Psecond case = + = 0.57
21 21
Note: In probability, “OR” indicates ADDITION, white “AND” indicates MULTIPLICATION.
67. A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability of getting three heads?
a. 1/4 b. 1/8 c. 1/2 d. 1/16
Ans. b. 1/8
BINOMIAL PROBABILITY – probability that an event happens exactly ‘r’ times in ‘n’ trials
Formula: Pb = nCr p r q n − r
where: Pb = binomial probability
p = probability of success
q = probability of failure
for prob. # 67
n = 3 ; r = 3 ; p = 1/2 ; q = 1 – p = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2
3 3-3
Applying the formula: Pb = 3C3(1/2) (1/2) = 1/8
68. A pack of cards contains 52 cards. Three cards are drawn from the pack, each card being returned to the pack before the
next card is drawn. Determine the probability that all will be diamonds.
a. 1/16 b. 1/32 c. 1/64 d. 1/128
Ans. c. 1/64
n = 3 ; r = 3 ; p = 13/52 ; q = 1 – p = 1 – 13/52 = 3/4
3 3-3
Applying the formula: Pb = 3C3(13/52) (3/4) = 1/64
69. What is the probability of getting exactly 3 heads in 5 successive tosses of a coin?
a. 0.3125 b. 0.4812 c. 0.50 d. 0.5423
Ans. a. 0.3125
n = 5 ; r = 3 ; p = 1/2 ; q = 1 – p = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2
3 5-3
Applying the formula: Pb = 5C3(1/2) (1/2) = 0.3125
70. In tossing a die, determine the probability of getting exactly “4” twice in 6 successive trials
a. 0.15 b. 0.20 c. 0.25 d. 0.30
Ans. a. 0.3125
n = 6 ; r = 2 ; p = 1/6 ; q = 1 – p = 1 – 1/6 = 5/6
2 6-2
Applying the formula: Pb = 6C2(1/6) (5/6) = 0.20
