_______________ 4. A coin is tossed. If a head occurs, then you gain 1 peso and if a tail
occurs, then you gain nothing. The theoretical average gain in
tossing the coin is 50 centavos.
_______________ 5. The total area under the normal distribution curve is less than 1.
_______________ 6. The data values in a normal distribution curve is less on the area to
the right of 4 standard deviations away on the right side of the
mean as compared to the area between 2 standard deviations from
the left and right side of the mean.
_______________ 8. The central limit theorem tells us that if the sample size is large
enough, the shape of the distribution of sample means approaches
a normal distribution.
_______________ 9. Given the scores in a sample data set, when the sample standard
deviation is calculated, all scores in the sample data set are used.
_______________ 10. The positive square root of a variance is called the absolute value.

Part II. NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
Perform the indicated operation and simplify. Show your complete solutions.
1. The percentage of couples where both parties are in the labor force is 62%. If 10 couples
are selected at random. Find the probability that at most 5 of the couples are working.
(3 points)
2. The average number of phone inquiries each week at a poison control center is 80. Find
the probability that it will receive at least 10 calls in a single day? (3 points)
3. Find the area under the standard normal distribution curve . (2 points)
a. Between z = − 1.24 and z = 0.63.

Part III. PROBLEM SOLVING
Perform the indicated operation and simplify. Show your complete solutions.
1. Information from the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that the average age of
licensed drivers is 38.6 years with a standard deviation of 10.4 years. Assume that the
distribution of the driver’s ages is normal.
a. What proportion of licensed drivers are from 25 to 45 years old? (2 points)
b. Determine the ages of licensed drivers separating the upper 10% and lower 10%
percent of the population. (3 points)
2. Weights of newborn babies in a particular city are normally distributed with a mean of
3380 g and a standard deviation of 475 g.
a. A newborn weighing less than 2100 g is considered to be at risk, because the
mortality rate for this group is very low. If a hospital in the city has 500 births in a
year, how many of those babies are in the “at-risk” category? (3 points)
b. If we redefine a baby to be at risk if his or her birth weight is in the lowest 3%,
find the weight that becomes the cutoff separating at-risk babies from those who
are not at risk. (2 points)

3. Over the past 30 games between team A and team B, team A has won 14 times, team B
has won 11 times and the game has ended in a draw 5 times. If these two teams played 9
games this season, what is the probability that team 𝐴 would win 5 games, team 𝐵 would
win 3 games, and the remaining game would be a draw? (3 points)
4. The formula for the standard error (standard deviation of the distribution of sample
means) implies that as the sample size (n) increases, the size of the standard error
decreases. Explain the role of the standard error in comparing the sample mean and the
population mean. Use the definitions and concepts on sample means distribution and
standard error and show examples comparing the sample mean and the population mean
of a distribution when the standard error changes in value to express your answer.
