Second Long Quiz

S.Y 2022-2023

Name: _____________________________________ Section: ______________ Score: _______

I. TRUE or FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if not.
_____________ 1. Standard normal curve is normal probability distribution that has a mean μ=0 and
standard deviation σ =1.
_____________ 2. The areas under a probability distribution correspond to the probabilities of a random
variable X.
_____________ 3. In a probability distribution, the total is area is 100.
_____________ 4. The tails of the curve of a normal distribution is parallel to the base line.
_____________ 5. The mean, the median and the mode of the normal distribution coincide at the center.
_____________ 6. The width of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution.
_____________ 7. A normal distribution has a bell-shaped curve.
_____________ 8. The curve of a normal distribution is symmetrical about its center.
_____________ 9. The probability under the curve that is below 1.56 is 5.94%.
_____________ 10. The probability that a random score occurs between z=1 and z=0 is 0.3413.

II. Solving Find the probabilities of the following:

1. P(z <1.33) 6. At most 1.56
2. P(z >−0.89) 7. At least -0.90
3. P(0.32< z <2.78) 8. To the left of 1.77
4. P ( z< k )=0.8997 9. To the right of 0.25
5. P ( z> k )=0.2611 10. To the left of -1 and to the right of 1

III. Problem Solving.

1. Given the population of 5000 scores with mean μ=86 and σ =10. How many scores are:
a. between 86 and 96?
b. between 96 and 106?
c. Above 116?
d. Between 76 and 86?
e. Below 56?
2. A division-wide aptitude test in Mathematics was conducted to 1000 pupils. The mean of the
test is 58 and the standard deviation is 12. The scores also approximate the normal
distribution.
a. What is the minimum score to belong to the upper 10% of the group?
b. What are the extreme scores outside of which 5% of the group are expected to fall?
c. What is the score that divides the distribution into two such that 75% of the cases is
below it?
d. Estimate the range of scores that will include the middle 50% of the distribution.
e. Estimate the range of scores that will include the middle 99% of the distribution.
