STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

FOURTH QUARTER
ACTIVITY NO. 2
A. Identification: Identify the following
_________________1. It is the mean of sample values collected.
_________________2. It is a parameter which is a measure of variability with fixed value calculated from every
individual in the population.
_________________3. It includes all of the elements from a set of data.
_________________4. it indicates how the population data points are spread out. It is the
average of the distances from each data point in the population to the mean, squared.
________________5. It is a statistic which means that this measure of variability is calculated from only some
of the individuals in a population
_________________6. It consists of one or more observations drawn from the population.
________________7. It is the mean of all the values in the population. If the sample is randomly selected and
sample size is large, then the sample mean would be a good estimate of the population
mean.
_________________8. It is a random variable that is calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test.
_________________9. It is thew test used, if the population standard deviation σ is unknown, then the mean
has a t- distribution.
________________10. It is thew test used, if the population standard deviation σ is known, then the mean
has a normal distribution.
B. Directions: Choose the best answer to the given questions or statements. Write the letter of your choice on a
separate sheet of paper.
1. Which of the following symbols is NOT needed when t-test is used in computing values?
A. 𝜎 B. s C. µ D. 𝑛
2. If the variance is unknown and the sample size is small, which test statistic is appropriate?
A. one-tailed test B. two-tailed test B. z-test D. t-test
3. One-sample z-statistic is used instead of one-sample t-statistic when ___________.
A. σ is unknown B. μ is unknown. B. σ is known. D. μ is known.
4. What appropriate tool is applicable if the population is normal, sample standard deviation is known, and sample
is less than 30?
A. t-test B. normal test C. z-test D. Central Limit Theorem
5. Which of the following is NOT a consideration in using z-test/statistic?
A. Variance is known. C. Sample standard deviation is known.
B. The population mean is less than 30. D. Population standard deviation is known.

C. Directions: Read and analyze each problem. On the table below, put a check on the columns of the criteria that
correspond to the given problem.
1. A sample of 160 people has a mean age of 27 with a population standard deviation (σ) of 5. Test the hypothesis
that the population mean is 26.7 at α=0.05.
2. An electric lamps manufacturer is testing a new production method that will be considered acceptable if the
lamps produced by this method result in a normal population with an average life of 1,300 hours and a standard
deviation equal to 120. A sample of 100 lamps produced by this method has an average life of 1,250 hours.
3. The cholesterol levels in a certain population have mean of 210 and standard deviation 21. The cholesterol
levels for a random sample of 9 individuals are measured and the sample mean x is determined. What is the z-
score for a sample mean x=180?
4. Mabunga Elementary School has 1,000 students. The principal of the school thinks that the average IQ of
students at Mabunga is at least 110. To prove her point, she administers an IQ test to 20 randomly selected
Note: The illustrative examples above used standard deviations instead of variances. Variance is the square of
the standard deviation and conversely, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Hence, if the
standard deviation is known in the problem, then basically, variance is also known. 11 students. Among the
sampled students, the average IQ is 108 with a standard deviation of 10.
5. A new energy-efficient lawn mower engine was developed by a well-known inventor. He claims that the engine
will run continuously for 5 hours on a single gallon of regular gasoline. From his stock of 2,000 engines, the
inventor selects a simple random sample of 50 engines for testing. The engines run for an average of 295
minutes with a standard deviation of 20 minutes.
