Grade & Section: Instructor: Mr. Harold Coronado
Test I. DISCRETE & CONTINUOUS: Classify the following as discrete or continuous. Write the answer on the space
provided below. STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED.
1. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.
2. The number of defective items in a production
3. The capacity of an auditorium
4. The capacity of the electrical resistors
5. The pH level of a solution
6. The waiting time until the next customer enters a store.
7. The number of bacteria in a petri dish after a given time
8. The grade point average of students
9. The amount of salt needed to bake a loaf of bread
10. The number of households with television
Test II.TRUE OR FALSE: Write True if the statement is true and write False if the statement is false.
11. A random variable can only be discrete
12. In discrete probability distribution, the sum of the probabilities for all possible outcomes must 1
13. Mean, variance, and standard deviation are measures of central tendency for probability distribution
14. The standard normal curve is asymmetric about its center
15. The area under the entire standard normal curve is equal to 1
16. The z-table is used to find probabilities associated with the standard normal distribution
17. The mean of a normal distribution is always equal to 0
18. The variance of a probability distribution is the average of the squared difference between each
value and the mean.
19. The standard deviation provides a measure of the spread or variability of a probability distribution
20. The concept of the normal distribution is applicable only to small sample sizes.
Test III. PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION: MEAN, VARIANCE & STANDARD DEVIATION. (20 points)
The following data show the student’s nationalities in the International Conference on Human Rights held in the
Philippines. Construct a graph and compute for the probability distribution, mean, variance and standard deviation
for these data.

2. z = 0 and z = -0.70 7. between 0.76 and z = 2.88 12. to the right of z = 0.33
3. z = 0 and z = 2.58 8. between -0.92 and z = 1.75 13. less than z= -1.86
5. z = 0 and z = -3.02 10. between z = -2.67 and z = 1.95 15. below z= -2.48
C. In a population of Mathematics scores, the mean µ = 54 and the standard deviation σ = 9. Construct a graph and
find the z value that corresponds to a score X = 72. (5 points)
