• Give all formulas used. Give a stepwise solution to each problem.

• Denote precisely the variable used and its distribution.
• Permitted calculators: Casio FX-82, TI-30.

Tables needed for answering the questions (Binomial distribution and normal distribution) are provided
on the last pages of the exam.

Good luck!

1. Data types and levels of measurement

Given three variables A, B and C. Below these variables you find a question about these
variables.

A. The type of aircraft that is used on a flight from Amsterdam to Berlin.

B. The temperature measured in °C
C. The time that second year students aeronautical engineering spent on preparing for
the statistics examination, categorized per 5 hours.

a. For each of the variables (A, B, and C) write down the level of measurement, choose
between nominal/ordinal/ratio/interval.

b. Give a similarity and a difference for the levels of measurement nominal and ordinal.

2. Categorizing data

Table 1 below shows 44 measurements of the number of orders at a distribution center per
day. The values in the table are arranged in order of magnitude.

102 144 159 168 176 189 193 197 210 215 221

Table 1: the number of orders at a distribution center

a. Categorize the data items in the best possible way. Show intermediate steps. Motivate
your answer.

b. State 4 requirements for categorization.

3. Measures of central tendency and measures of variability

The frequency table below (table 2) shows the weight W measured in kg of 120 checked in
suitcases. The data is grouped in 6 categories.

φ and β are determined by the sixth digit (*****X) of your student number:

sixth 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
digit
φ 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6
β 9 9 9 8 8 8 8 7 7 7

W (kg) frequency
0 -< 5 φ
5 -< 10 β
10 -< 15 33
15 -< 20 67
20 -< 25 4
25 -< 30 3
Table 2: frequency table weight W

Copy the table before you start answering the questions.

a. Find the median (2 d.p.)

b. Find the standard deviation (2 d.p.). Do not round intermediate answers.
c. Find the percentage of suitcases with a weight within the 2s interval (2 d.p.).
d. What percentage of measurements are within the 1s, 2s and 3s interval if data is
(approximately) normally distributed?

4. Bicycle repairer

A bicycle repairer carries out different types of maintenance on bicycles. At the end of a
working day she has 1 hour left. There is 1 bicycle that needs to be repaired. For this repair
three different tasks need to be done. These tasks are labeled A, B and C. The time in
minutes needed to complete these tasks is normally distributed: A = ℕ(5 ; Ω), B = ℕ(15 ;
2.2) and C = ℕ(35 ; 3.5).

Ω is determined by the fourth digit (***X**) of your student number:

fourth 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
digit
Ω 0.4 0.45 0.5 0.55 0.4 0.45 0.5 0.55 0.4 0.5
Statistics 1612LTK17A – Resit 2019-2020 26-08-2020 15:00-17:00 h

a. Find the probability that the bicycle repairer is able to complete these 3 tasks within 60
minutes.

Because this combination of maintenance task occurs frequently the bicycle repairer wants
to know with more certainty that the combination of task A, B and C can be completed within
60 minutes. She would like that the probability that this takes less than 60 minutes is 0.9830.
To make this happen she wants to reduce the mean time of task B.

b. Find the mean time of task B (2 d.p.) such that the probability that completing task A, B
and C within 60 minutes is equal to 0.9830.

Task A is takes very few time. The bicycle repairer is curious about the probability of his task
being completed between 5 and 6 minutes.

c. Find the probability that completing task A takes between 5 and 6 minutes.

Because task C takes a long time the bicycle repairer is interested in the 95% time interval of
this task.

d. Find the 95% time interval of task C (2 d.p.).

5. Park and Ride

A Park and Ride next to a large city has 400 parking spots. Every parking spot is occupied
90% of the time.

Because of a company day-out at a certain moment 20 cars want to park at the same time.

a. Find the probability that out of the 400 parking spots a minimum of 20 is free. Use the
normal approximation with continuity correction.

Ψ is determined by the fifth digit (****X*) of your student number:

fifth 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
digit
Ψ 13 14 15 13 14 15 13 14 15 14

There are Ψ parking spots with a recharging point for electrical cars.

b. Use the formula for the Binomial Distribution to find the probability that out of these Ψ
parking spots less than 3 are free (2 d.p.).

c. Use the attached table of the Binomial Distribution to find the probability that out of these
Ψ parking spots 1 or 2 are free.

6. Set theory

A sample space S is given:

S = {mouse, gaming mouse, keyboard, gaming keyboard, gaming headset, pc-speakers,
webcam}.

Three events are:

A = {mouse, keyboard},
B = {gaming mouse, gaming keyboard, gaming headset},
C = {pc-speakers, webcam}

a. Find 𝐴𝐴 ∪ 𝐵𝐵𝐶𝐶

b. Find 𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶 ∩ 𝐵𝐵𝐶𝐶 ∩ 𝐶𝐶
