STATISTICS and PROBABILITY

2nd Semester, 4th Quarter
2nd Summative Test

GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
• Read the following directions first before you proceed to answer the test questions.
• There will be a direction that can be found in between questions. You must read the directions carefully to avoid
errors and erasures.
• Do not write anything on this questionnaire. Use the answer sheet provided for your answers.
• Use a black ink ballpen to shade your chosen answer. Strictly no pencil/friction pen and marker allowed.
• Erasures will automatically be considered and counted as wrong answers. You will only be provided one answer
sheet so make sure to select your final answer before shading the circle.
• Good luck and enjoy answering!

*NOTE: You are not allowed to make unnecessary noise. Answer the examination silently. You are not allowed
also to ask your seatmate even in your proctor. You need to answer your paper based on your understanding. After
you finish answering, silently submit your paper to the proctor. No sharing of ideas.
