Sample: A sample of 2,145 of Grade 10 in the City of Mandaluyong.
3. When buying a cavan of rice, the buyer examines only a handful of rice form the cavan of rice to
find out whether it is good quality or not.

2. Cluster random sampling
3. Simple random sampling
4. Stratified random sampling
5. Stratified random sampling
6. Convenience sampling
7. Stratified random sampling
8. Systematic random sampling

A.
1. MEAN = 15
VARIANCE = 5
STANDARD DEVIATION = 2.24

2.
Given: N = 4
n=2

Formula:
!

( − )! !
Solution:

! × × × × × ×
= ( )! !
= = = =6
! ! × × ×

Thus, we have 6 possible samples given the finite population of numbers.

17 0.17 2.89 1.85 3.42 0.34
Mean of Sampling Distribution of Means = 15.15
Variance of Sampling Distribution of Means = 1.48
Standard Deviation of Sampling Distribution of Means = 1.22

B.
POPULATION MEAN = MEAN OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS
34 = 34
VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = VARIANCE
/ n 49 / 100 = 0.49
S.D. OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = SQRT. OF VARIANCE SQRT.
OF
0.49 = 0.7

2.
MEAN = 3.9 kg
S.D. = 0.82 kg
n = 30
Formula:
POPULATION MEAN = MEAN OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS
3.9 = 3.9
VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = S.D.
^2 / n 0.82^2 / 30 = 0.67 / 30 = 0.22
S.D. OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = SQRT. OF VARIANCE SQRT.
OF
0.22 = 0.47

3.
MEAN = 500
S.D. = 25
n = 60
Formula:
POPULATION MEAN = MEAN OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS
500 = 500
VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = S.D.
^2 / n 25^2 / 60 = 625 / 60 = 10.42
S.D. OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS = SQRT. OF VARIANCE SQRT.
OF
10.42 = 3.23

4.
Given:
n=?
MEAN = 120
VARIANCE = 16
STANDARD ERROR = 2.31
4 16
n=( ) = = 2.99 or 3
2.31 5.34

Thus, n = 3.

1. Given:
Mean = 75
Sample Mean = 74
Standard Deviation = 5
n = 40
What is asked for?
P (X < 74)

− − −

√ .
.
P (z) < -1.32) = 0.0934
Thus, the probability that the sample mean is less than 74 is 9.34%

2. Given:
Mean = 620
Sample Mean = 600
Standard Deviation = 76
n = 36
What is asked for?
P (X > 600)

Solution:

− − −
= = = =− .
√
.

P (z) > -1.58) = 1 – 0.0571 = 0.9479

Thus, the probability that the number of teachers is greater than 600 is 94.79%.
3. Given:
Mean = 63
Sample Mean = 60
Standard Deviation = 10
n = 45
What is asked for?
P (X < 60)

Solution:

− − −

√ .
.

P (z) < -2.01) = 0.0222

Thus, the probability that a 45 randomly selected SHS Students has a mean of less than 60 minutes
to complete the test is 2.22%.

4. Given:
Mean = 16,000,000
Sample Mean = between 15,000,000 to 18,000,000
Standard Deviation = 2,100,000
n=9
What is asked for?

P (-1.43 < z < 2.86) = 0.9979 – 0.0764 = 0.9215

Thus, the probability that the randomly selected 9 episodes has a number of audiences between 15
to 18 million viewers is 92.15%.
