1. Constructing Frequency Table. (10 pts)

1. A bus company owner wishes to check the number of kilometres his commuter buses
travelled each day. His findings are shown below. Construct a frequency table using 10 classes.
138 107 136 128 148 118 99
142 129 115 123 133 123 103
121 128 122 144 126 135 107
125 98 117 153 141 126 139
134 115 93 127 118 158 143

MAX = 158
MIN = 93
R (range) = 65
c (class size) = R/k = 6.5 or 7 (6.5 rounded up is 7.)
LL lowest class = 93
UL lowest class = 99

Classes Frequency
93 - 99 3
100 - 106 1
107 - 113 2
114 – 120 5
121 – 127 8
128 – 134 5
135 – 141 5
142 – 148 4
149 – 155 1
156 -162 1
Total: 35
2. Identify the highest level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) of the following.
(1 pt each)

Ratio 1. height (in feet) of NBA players

Nominal 2. religious affiliations of Filipinos
Ordinal 3. favorite song
Interval 4. body temperature
Nominal 5. gender
Ratio 6. amount spent on rice last week by a household.
Interval 7. calendar years
Nominal 8. civil status
Ordinal 9. restaurant food quality (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent)
Ordinal 10. educational attainment

3. (3 pts each) (Use your student number to answer this item) Let 2022-ABCDE-mn-0 be your
student number. Note: all decimals should be rounded to the nearest whole number.
My student number: 2022-00489-MN-0.
A=0B=0C=4D=8E=9

What is the probability of rolling a fair of 2 dice that:

A +B
a. the sum is 12 ?
0.
Because 0 + 0 / 12 = 0/12. Since there is no 0 in a die, that means the probability that you can
get two dice that sums to A + B / 12 or 0, is zero.

A + B+C+ D+ E
b. the sum is greater than 5 ?

5/6
0 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 9 = 21.
21 / 5 = 4.2
There are 30 possibilities wherein the sum of the two dice are greather than 4.2.
30/36 in simplified form is = 5/6.
 A + B+C+ D+ E
Therefore, the probability of rolling a fair of 2 dice with the sum greater than 5 is
5/6.

A + B+C+ D+ E
c. both dice rolled at ?
5
0.
A + B+C+ D+ E
Since 5 has a decimal, there is no possibility of getting 4.2 in a 6 sided die.
Therefore, there is 0 probability of this occuring.

d. the product is less than A × B ?

0.
A x B or 0 x 0 is still 0. Which means the probability of the product of the dice being less than a
x b is zero.

e. at least one of the faces of the dice are in the set { A , B ,C , D , E }?

11/36
C = 4, and 4 can be seen in 6 sided dice, using this, the probability of atleast one face of the
dice showing up that are in the set {A, B, C, D, E} is 11/36.

4. Supposed that we have the following situations. Give one quantitative and qualitative random
variables.
a. Cooking (3 pts)
Quantitative: The grams of ingredients being used.
Qualitative: Type of food (Meat, Vegetables, Fruits, etc.)

b. Eating (3 pts)
Quantitative: The time it takes for them to eat.
Qualitative: The texture of the food they’re eating (Soft, Crunchy, etc.)

c. Studying (3 pts)
Quantitative: The average grade of a student.
Qualitative: The branch of education they’re studying.
