the probability that their salary is:
a. Lower than Php 21,500

b. Higher than Php 15,250

c. Between Php 12,800 to Php 20,180

2. In a car shop, secondhand cars are priced at an average of 639,000 pesos. Assume that car prices are normally
distributed with a standard deviation of 181,200 pesos.
a. Find the probability that a car is sold for a price between 500,000 pesos and 800,000 pesos

b. If I am looking for the cheapest 10% of the cars, what should be the highest price I will consider?

c. If I am looking for a price point at the middle 60%, what will be the maximum and minimum prices I will
consider?

3. Consider the given normal curve:

75 100 125 150 175 200 225

0
a. What is the mean and the standard deviation of the distribution?
 b. Find the probability that x is between112 and 192.

V. Sampling Distribution - Problem Solving. Show all necessary solutions and box your final answer. (20 points)

be taken. (6 points)

a. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means?

b. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample means?

c. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample means?

2. Assume that the population has a standard deviation of 12. Compute the standard error of the sampling
distribution if the following sizes are taken: (8 points)

a. 10 b. 100

c. 50 d. 30
