Statistics and Probability Quarter 3 Performance Task: Week 7&8

The document provides instructions for a performance task involving analyzing weight data from a class of grade 11 students. Students are asked to: 1) Take random samples of 5 weights from the class 20 times and calculate the point estimate and margin of error for the mean weight for each sample. 2) Construct a 68% confidence interval for the average weight of all students for each sample. 3) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the population weights. The key questions are how many of the 20 confidence intervals would be expected to contain the true mean weight, and how many actually do contain it based on the results. Students are asked to submit a written report of their analysis and results.

Quarter 3 Performance Task: Week 7&8

At this point, you will be applying the concepts of Central Limit Theorem. Specifically, in
solving problems involving sampling distribution of the sample means. The instructions for the given
activity are provided below. The scoring rubric below will be used in assessing your output.
As a Senior High School Student, how much time do you spent in studying and answering the
activities in your modules? Do you spend 25 hours in a week or more than that? Suppose that the
average number of hours spent by senior high school students in your school for their modular classes
in a week is 25 hours with a standard deviation of 4 hours. Assuming that the study is true and the
data is normally distributed. What is the probability that a random sample of 12 senior high school
students spends more than 24 hours?

Quarter 3 Performance Task: Week 9&10

Performance Task
Just recently, you as a school biostatistician made an analysis pertaining
to the heights of students. This time, your school clinic supervisor tasked you to
make an analysis of the mean weight of students. You started with one class of
grade 11 students, and collect their weights in kilogram (kg). To select your
sample, you write each weight measurement on a slip of paper put the slips into a
small bag, mix them up, pick out 5 slips at random, and write down the numbers
you picked. You return the slips in the bag and repeat the process until you have
20 samples of 5 numbers. The following will be part of your analysis:
a. For each of the samples of weights obtained, compute the resulting point
estimate
and 95% margin of error for the mean weight of students in the class.
b. For each of the 20 samples, construct the resulting 68% confidence interval for
the average weight of all the students in the class.
c. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the population weights.

The important questions you would like to answer are as follows:


 How many of the 20 confidence intervals would you expect to contain the
true mean?
 Based from your results, how many actually contain the true mean?

Submit a written report. Make sure that it is accurate, detailed, neat and organized.
