There are only two possible outcomes for each trial, success and failure.

Binomial Experiment

It is a measure of the number of standard deviations a particular data point is away from the
mean.
z-score

It is a result of a single trial of a probability experiment.

Outcome
It is a mapping or list of all values of a random variable to their corresponding probabilities
for a given sample space.
Probability Distribution
The normal curve is asymptotic.
True

It is useful for describing the number of events that will occur during a specific interval of
time or in a specific distance, area, or volume.
Poisson Experiment
The experiment consists of n independent, identical trials
Binomial Experiment
Five balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are placed in a box. One is selected, its number is noted
and then it is replaced. If this experiment is repeated many times, find the mean of the
numbers on the balls.
3
It is the square root of the variance.
Standard deviation
It is commonly referred to as a normal curve, or bell curve.
Normal Distribution
Five balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are placed in a box. One is selected, its number is noted
and then it is replaced. If this experiment is repeated many times, find the standard
deviation of the numbers on the balls.
1.41
The normal distribution is unimodal.
True

“The amount of time represents a task.”

Continuous random variables
The normal distribution is bell-shaped.
True

It represents the numerical value of a simple event of an experiment.

Random variables
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within three standard deviation of the
mean is ________.
about 99.7%
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within two standard deviation of the
mean is ________.
about 95%
It is a perfectly symmetric, mound-shaped distribution.
Both A and B
It is a numerical measure of the likelihood that a specific event will occur.
Probability

A vintage car breaks down an average of four times per month. Find the probability that
during the next month this vintage card will have at most two breakdowns.

DOLE found that 83% of Filipinos think that having a college education is important to
succeed in life. If a random sample of 7 Filipinos is selected, find the probability that exactly
4 will agree with that statement.

A package of 8 AAA size batteries contains 2 that are defective and 6 that are non –
defective. If we select 4 batteries at random from the package, what is the probability that
the sample contains exactly 1 defective battery?
57.14

It is a measure of how spread out the values are.

Standard deviation
The normal distribution is continuous.
True

The normal distribution curve is symmetric about the mean.

True

Random means that the experiment may result in one of several possible values of the
variable.
True

What is the probability that the total of two dice will be greater than 9, given that the first
die is a 5?
1/3
When you roll the two dice, what is the probability that the sum is 4?
1/12
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within one standard deviation of the
mean is ________.
about 68%
These are random variables that can assume only a countable number of values.
Discrete random variables
The most common way to measure the spread of a normal distribution.
Standard deviation
The normal curve is often called Gaussian distribution.
True
“Outcomes in rolling a pair of dice”
Discrete random variables
When you roll the two dice, what is the probability that the sum is 9?
1/9
The mean, median and mode have different values in a normal distribution.
False
The experiment consists of counting the number of events that will occur during a specific
interval of time or in a specific distance, area, or volume.
Poisson Experiment
It is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
Sample space
This is a complete description of all the possible values of the random variable, along with
their associated probabilities.
Probability Distribution
“Number of television per household”
Discrete random variables
It is a function or rule that assigns a number to each outcome of an experiment.
Random variable
The probability of success remains the same from trial to trial.
Binomial Experiment
These are random variables that can assume all values between any two specific values.
Continuous random variables
“Number of DVD monthly sales in a Video Center”
Discrete random variables
These are random variables that can take on any of the countless number of values in an
interval.
Continuous random variables

Five hundred raffle tickets are sold at ₱25 each for three prizes of ₱4,000, ₱2,500, and
₱1,000. After each prize drawing, the winner ticket is then returned to the collection of
tickets. What is the mean or expected value if a person purchases four tickets?
-₱41.60
Five balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are placed in a box. One is selected, its number is noted
and then it is replaced. If this experiment is repeated many times, find the variance of the
numbers on the balls.
2
These are the most important characteristics of any probability distribution.
Mean and standard deviation
It is applied when the probability of success are not the same from trial to trial.
Hypergeometric Experiment
DOLE found that 83% of Filipinos think that having a college education is important to
succeed in life. If a random sample of 7 Filipinos is selected, find the probability that at most
two people will agree with that statement.

“Weight of the employees in a call center company”
Continuous random h

DOLE found that 83% of Filipinos think that having a college education is important to
succeed in life. If a random sample of 7 Filipinos is selected, find the probability that exactly
4 will agree with that statement.
