TEST III. PROBLEM-SOLVING
For items 21-30. Using the sample space for rolling three coins, construct a probability distribution for
the random variable X representing the head that appears. Draw the histogram of the probability
distribution. (10 points)

For items 31-40. The probabilities of a machine manufacturing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 defective parts in one
day are 0.75, 0.17, 0.04, 0.025, 0.01, and 0.005, respectively. Find the mean of the probability
distribution. (10 points)

For items 41-50. The number of items sold per day at a retail store, with its corresponding probabilities,
is shown in the table. Find the variance and standard deviation of the probability distribution. Use the
alternative steps in solving variance and standard deviation. (10 points)

No. of Items Sold X 19 20 21 22 23

Probability X 0.20 0.20 0.30 0.20 0.10

If you’re totally convinced you’ll fail, you’ll struggle to succeed.

But if you believe you’ll succeed, you’ll stand a much better chance.
Take it one step at a time – you can get there!
