INSTRUCTIONS:
The exam has 2 sets of questions (Set A and Set B) better keep your eyes on your own paper
because you might copy the wrong answer from your seatmates. Use a calculator when solving,
the use of cellphones as calculator is NOT allowed. Read and follow each instruction carefully. God
bless you, dear student.

III. Complete the probability distribution of the following data and draw a histogram of the distribution.
Compute the mean, variance and standard deviation.

1. The probabilities that a customer buys 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 items in a convenience store are 0. 32, 0.12,
0.23, 0.18, and 0.15, respectively. (The interval for probabilities in histogram is 0.05).

X · P(X) X2 · P(X)
No. of items (X) Probabilities P(X)

Ʃ X · P(X) = Ʃ X2 · P(X) =

2. The probabilities that a bias die will fall as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 are 1⁄2 , 1⁄6 , 1⁄12 , 1⁄12 , 1⁄12 , 1⁄12 ,
respectively. (The interval for probabilities in histogram is 0.10)
Ʃ X · P(X) = Ʃ X2 · X · P(X) X2 · P(X)

No. of spots (X) Probabilities P(X)

P(X) =
