5¢ and 50¢=.55¢

10¢ and 25¢=.35¢

10¢ and 50¢=.60¢

25¢ and 50¢=.75¢

2.) Determine whether the following can be a probability distribution, defined in each case for
the given values of x, and explain your answer.

(5 pts. each)

x−2
a.) f (x) = for x = 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5
5

Cx

for x = 0,1, 2, 3, 4
16

4.) The IQs of 600 applicants to a certain college are approximately normally distributed with a
mean of 115 and a standard deviation of 12. If the college requires an IQ of at least 95, how
many of these students will be rejected on this basis regardless of their other qualifications?

(10 pts.)
5.) A sample of 25 Grade IV pupils from COOP Academy yielded a mean weight and standard
deviation of 73 and 10 pounds, respectively. Assuming a normally distributed population, find
the 99% confidence interval for the true mean weight of the population from which the sample
comes. (10 pts.)

With 99% confidence the population mean is between 66.42 and 78.58, based on 25
samples

Good luck and stay safe always!!!
