VII. The results of rolling a conventional 6-sided die are:
6, 3, 4, 3, 5, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5, 6, 4, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 3, 6, 3, 4, 1, 4
What is the frequency of number 4?

IX. 100 people were asked whether they were left-handed. Four people answered 'yes'. What is the relative
frequency of left-handed people?
X. A white counter was taken from a bag of different coloured counters, and then replaced. The relative
frequency of getting a white counter was found to be 0.3. If the bag contained 20 counters, estimate the
number of white counters.

II. Measures of Central Tendency & Probability (Show solution) (5 points each)

1.) A high school teacher at a small private school assigns trigonometry practice problems to be
worked via the net. Students must use a password to access the problems and the time of log-in and log-
off are automatically recorded for the teacher. At the end of the week, the teacher examines the amount
of time each student spent working the assigned problems. The data is provided below in minutes.

15, 28, 25,48, 22, 43, 49, 34, 22, 33, 27, 25, 22, 20, 39

Find the Mean, Median, Mode and Range of the following.

2.) There are 5 green 7 red balls. Two balls are selected one by one without replacement. Find the
probability that first is green and second is red.

3.) Three dice are rolled together. What is the probability as getting at least one '4'?

4.) In a deck of cards, what is the probability if drawing a face card?

5.) The blood groups of 200 people is distributed as follows: 50 have type A blood, 65 have B blood
type, 70 have O blood type and 15 have type AB blood. If a person from this group is selected at random,
what is the probability that this person has O blood type?
