WORKSHEET IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

1) A patient recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease takes a cognitive abilities test and scores a 45.
The mean on this test is 52 and the standard deviation is 5. What is the patient’s percentile?
(Note: get the z-score first and get the equivalent percent from the table of z-scores or normal distribution.
The area is in decimal so convert to percent value)
Z = (45-52)/5 = -1.4
-1.4 = .08076 = 8.08%

2) A normal distribution of scores has a standard deviation of 10. Find the z-scores corresponding to each
of the following values:
a) A score that is 20 points above the mean.
Z = 20/10 = 2
b) A score that is 10 points below the mean.
Z = -10/10 = -1

3) For the following 13 real estate prices, calculate the IQR and determine if any prices are potential
outliers.
Prices are in Pesos.

State if each scenario involves a permutation or a combination. Then find the number of possibilities.

5. A television director is scheduling a certain sponsor’s commercials for an upcoming broadcast. There
are six slots available for commercials. In how many ways may the director schedule the commercials
a) If the sponsor has six different commercials, each to be shown once?
6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 ways
b) If the sponsor has three different commercials, each to be shown twice?
6! = 720 / 2 / 2 / 2 = 90 ways
2!, 2!, 2!

6. If the NCAA has applications from 6 universities for hosting its intercollegiate tennis championships in
2008 and 2009, how many ways may they select the hosts for these championships
a) if they are not both to be held at the same university?
P (6-2) = 6*5 = 30 ways
b) if they may both be held at the same university?
6*6 = 36 ways

7. There are five finalists in the Mr. Rock Hill pageant. In how many ways may the judges choose a
winner and a first runner-up?
P (5-2) = 5*4 = 20 ways

8. If a number is chosen at random from the numbers 1 to 20 Inclusive, what is the probability that:
a) a prime number will be picked?
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19
8/20 = 2/5 or 0.4
b) an even number will be picked?
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
10/20 = ½ or 0.5
c) a single digit number will be picked?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
9/20 or 0.45
9.Albert chooses a card at random from those as shown below:

What is the probability that the card is:

a) an M? 2/11
b) an A or an E? 1/11 + 2/11 = 3/11
c) a U? 0

10.A number is chosen at random from a set of whole numbers from 1 to 50. Calculate the probability
that the chosen number:
a) is not a perfect square
1², 2², 3², 4², 5², 6², 7² = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49
43/50 = 0.86
b) is not a multiple of 4
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48
38/50 = 0.76
c) is more than 45
5/50 = 0.1
d) is not more than 45
44/50 = 0.88
