Test I. Direction.

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and change the

underlined word to make it correct if otherwise.
TRUE 1. Statistics is a systematic way of collecting, organizing, summarizing,
analysing and interpreting data.
2. Statistics is a single number that maybe used to describe the collection of
numerical measurements from a sample or to analyse those measurements
more fully.
TRUE 3. Inferential Statistics is a type of statistical methodology that gives us
information about or describes the sample under study. Its main purpose is to
tell something about the particular group of observation.
4. This measure consists of two or more categories into which individuals,
objects, or things are classified. The purpose of ordinal scale is to classify and
to determine equivalence and non equivalence.
5. nominal scale measure defines the relative position of objects, things or
individuals with respect to a characteristics with no implications as to the
distance between positions. It only determines whether an individual has more
or less of the attribute.
6. A data is a characteristics of objects, people or events that can take of
different values. It can vary in quantity or in quality.
TRUE 7. Discrete Variable is a variable which consists of either a finite number
of values or countable number of values.
8. The quartiles divide the frequency distribution into four equal parts.
9. The decile divides the frequency distribution into ten equal parts.
10.Percentile 75 and quartile 3 are equal.
TRUE 11.If the mean of the set of data is greater than the median and the
mode, such distribution is positively skewed.
TRUE 12.If the mean of the set of data is lower than the median and the mode,
such distribution is negatively skewed.
TRUE 13.The median divides the frequency distribution into two equal parts.
14.The normal probability distribution is symmetrical about the mean.
15.The normal probability distribution is asymptotic to the x-axis. The tails of
the curve extends indefinitely in both directions.
TRUE 16.The normal curve is a bell shape figure and has a single peak at the
mean of the distribution.
17.Normality can be assumed if the mean is equal to the median and mode.
18.About 68.26% of the area under the normal curve is within +1.0 and -1.0
standard deviation from the mean.
TRUE 19.About 50% of the normal distribution is above the mean.
TRUE 20.A z-score is a standard score.
Test II. Use the standard normal distribution table to find the following z-scores.
Illustrate the normal curve.
1. Find the following z-scores when the mean is 25 and the standard deviation
is 4: (5pts each)
a. 20
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z = (20 - 25) / 4
Z = -1.25

b. 32
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z = (32 - 25) / 4
Z = 1.75

c. 28
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z = (28 - 25) / 4
Z = 0.75

d. 25
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z = (25 - 25) / 4
Z=0

e. 17
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z = (17 - 25) / 4
Z = -2

2. The average rate per hour of an employee in a fastfood chain is Php38 with a
standard deviation of 5. If these values were normally distributed, (5pts each)
formula:

a. What percent of the employees got an hourly rate of 40 and above? 34.48
percent

b. What percent of the employees got an hourly rate between 30 and 40?
60.06 percent

c. If there were 200 employees, how many got an hourly rate of above Php43?
200x0.3448= approx. 68 or 69 employees
Test III. Please follow steps in testing hypothesis.
1. A diet clinic states that there is an average loss of 24 pounds for those who
on the program for 20 weeks. The standard deviation is 5 pounds. The clinic
tries a new diet, reducing salt intake to see whether that strategy will produce a
greater weight loss. A group of 40 volunteers loses an average of 16.3 pounds
each over 20 weeks. Should the clinic change the new diet? Test at α=.05 (20
pts)

formula:

.: The Null Hypothesis True, stick to the

original diet.
