UAS Statistics

1. Define each of the following probability terms, using the example of rolling a pair of
standard six-sided dice and adding the numbers that result: experiment, outcome, sample
space, and event.
2. Of the numbers below, which could be valid measures of probability? (more than one!)
a. 0.16 b. -0.7 c. 0 d. 54% e. 1.06 f. 118% g. 2/3 h. 1 i. -1/6
3. The following data is the relative frequency for the daily demand for computers at a local
electronics store. Predict the probability that tomorrow’s demand will be at least four
computers.

4. The problem refers to a local university, at which 62% of the students are undergraduates,
55% of the students are male, and 48% of the undergraduate students are male. Determine
the probability that a randomly selected student is either male or an undergraduate.

5. The problem refers to the table below, the average number of chocolate chips per cookie in
two competing products. Assume the population of the number of chocolate chips per
cookie is normally distributed and the population variances are equal. The makers of Brand
A claim that their cookies average more chocolate chips than Brand B. Test this hypothesis at
α=0.05 level of significance.
Brand A Brand B
Sample mean 6.4 5.6
Sample size 10 11
Sample standard deviation 11 1.7

6. The problem refers to the data set below, the number of hours six students studied for a
