Week 28 Statistics review.

Name:………………………………………

1) Zara must take 5 tests. Each test is out of 100.

After 4 tests, her mean score is 64%.

What score must Zara get in her 5th test to increase her mean score in all five test to 70%?

2)

3)
4) The table shows a summary of the marks scored by 120
people in a test.

Three-quarters of people pass the test. Use a cumulative

frequency graph to estimate the pass mark.

Draw a box-plot diagram below for the data.

5)
6) Which of the following statements about residuals are true?
I. The mean of the residuals is always zero.
II. The regression line for a residual plot is a horizontal line.
III. A definite pattern in the residual plot is an indication that a nonlinear model will show a better fit to the
data than the LSRL.
a) I and II
b) I and III
c) II and III
d) I, II, and III
e) None of the above gives the complete set of true responses.

7)

8) Some researchers believe that too much iron in the blood can raise the level of cholesterol. Making periodic
blood donations can lower the iron level in the blood. A study is performed by randomly selecting half a group of
volunteers to five periodic blood donations while the rest do not. What is this?
a) An experiment with control group and blinding.
b) An experiment with blocking.
c) An observational study with comparison and randomization.
d) An observational study with little bias.
e) None of the above.

9) In a clinical trial, 30 sickle-cell patients are randomly assigned to two groups. One group receives the
currently marketed medicine, and the other group receives the experimental medicine. Each week patients report to
the clinic where blood tests are conducted. The lab technician is also unaware of the kind of medicine the patient is
taking. This design can be best described as:
a) a completely randomized design with two treatment groups, current medication and the experimental
medication
b) a matched-pairs design with the current medication and the experimental medication forming a pair
c) a randomized block design with the current medication and the experimental medication as two blocks
d) a randomized block design with the current medication and the experimental medication as two treatments
e) a stratified design with two strata, patients with sickle-cell and those without sickle-cell

Three letters are selected at random from the 8 letters of the word COMPUTER, without regard to order.

(i) Find the number of possible selections of 3 letters. [1]

(ii) Find the probability that the letter P is included in the selection. [3]

(iii) Three letters are now selected at random, one at a time, from the 8 letters of the word
COMPUTER, and are placed in order in a line. Find the probability that the 3 letters form the
word TOP. [2]
13)
How many words can be formed with the letters of the word ‘OMEGA’ when:

(i) ‘O’ and ‘A’ occupying end places. [2]

(ii)       ‘E’ being always in the middle. [2]

(ii) Vowels occupying odd-places. [2]

(iv)       All the vowels never being together. [2]

(i)    When ‘O’ and ‘A’ occupying end-places

  => M.E.G. (OA)

  Here (OA) are fixed, hence M, E, G can be arranged in  3! ways

 But (O,A) can be arranged themselves is 2! ways.

=> Total number of words =  3!   x  2! = 12 ways.

(ii)  When ‘E’ is fixed in the middle

=>    O.M.(E), G.A.

 Hence four-letter O.M.G.A. can be arranged in  4!   i.e 24 ways.

(iii)   Three vowels (O,E,A,) can be arranged in the odd-places (1st, 3rd and 5th)    =  3!    ways.

And two consonants (M,G,) can be arranged in the even-place               (2nd, 4th) =   2 !   ways

=> Total number of ways= 3! x 2! = 12 ways.

(iv)  Total number of words   =   5!   =    120!

 If all the vowels come together, then we have: (O.E.A.), M,G

 These can be arranged in    3!    ways.

 But (O,E.A.) can be arranged themselves in   3! ways.

 => Number of ways, when vowels come-together  =    3!  x    3!  

= 36 ways

=> Number of ways, when vowels being never-together

= 120-36        =  84 ways.
