For numbers 10 to 12:
Consider the random experiment of observing the value in the downturned face of the tetrahedron when you
tossed a tetrahedron once with values (1,2,3,4). Then tossing a coin once if the value in the downturned face of
the tetrahedron is odd and twice if even. Record the value of tetrahedron and record the upturned face of the
coin(s) if it is a head(H) or a tail(T). Define are the events for the random experiment.

E1 = event of getting an even number in the tetrahedron

E2 = event of getting 1 head
E3 = event of getting 2 tails
E4 = event of getting 2 heads
11. Which of the following is the appropriate sample space?
A. S={1,2,3,4,H,T}

{2HH, 2TT, 2HT, 2TH, 4HH, 4TT, 4HT, 4TH}
E2 = event of getting 1 head
{1H, 2HT, 2TH, 3H, 4HH, 4HT, 4TH}
E3 = event of getting 2 tails
{2TT,4TT}
E4 = event of getting 2 heads
{2HH,4HH}

For numbers 14 & 15:
Consider a random experiment of tossing a fair coin. If the upturned face of the coin is a head, the player will
then get two random cards from all the black cards (spades and club suit) otherwise the player will get two
random cards from all the red cards (diamond and heart suit) in a deck of 52 cards.

For numbers 18 to 20:
Suppose the data of food expenditure of households in a certain baranggay follows the normal distribution with
mean 10,000 pesos and standard deviation of 4,000 pesos.
18. What is the probability that the food expenditure of a household is greater than 11,000 pesos?
A. 0.3085

B. 0.4013

C. 0.5987

D. 0.6745

Answer: B
Solution: P[X>11,000] = P[Z> (11,000-10,000)/4000] = P[Z>0.25] = 1-P[Z<0.25]
19. What is the minimum food expenditure of the households that belongs to the highest five percent?
A. 10,200

B. 15,120

C. 16,580

D. 17,840

Answer: C
Solution: P[X>X0] =0.05
P[Z> (X0-10,000)/4000] = 0.05
P[Z> a] = 0.05
P[Z<a] = 1-0.05 =0.95
a =1.645
1.645 = (X0-10,000)/4000
X0 = 16,580
