STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
ACTIVITY # 1
Solve the problems as indicated: Indicate the steps for solution
1. A random sample of size n = 36 is drawn from a population with a standard
deviation of s = 11.3 and sample mean x̅= 105.2. Construct a 90% confidence
interval for the population mean μ.
2. A sample of 250 workers aged 16 and older produced an average length of
time with the current employer (‘job tenure’) of 4.4 years with a standard
deviation of 3.8 years. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean job
tenure of all workers aged 16 and older.
3. A random sample of size n = 16 is drawn from a normally distributed
population. The sample mean is 98 with known standard deviation of 5.
Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean.
4. Estimate the interval for the population proportion from X = 500, n = 812
and 95% confidence. Then interpret the results.
5. In a survey, 1000 Grade 7 students were asked if they read storybooks.
There were 318 who said Yes. Using 90% confidence level determine the
proportion p of all Grade 7 students who read storybooks.

II. Choose the letter that corresponds to the correct answer:


1. A/an ________________ of a population parameter is a single value of a
statistic.
A. Interval estimate C. Good estimate
B. Point estimate D. Accurate estimate
2. A/an ________________ is defined by two numbers, between which a
population parameter is said to lie

B. Point estimate D. Accurate estimate
3. A confidence interval consists of three parts except
A. Parameter C. Statistic

4. In a confidence interval, the range of values above and below the sample
statistics is called
A. Outlier C. Margin of error
B. Extreme values D. Minimum and maximum values
5. The interval estimate of a confidence interval is defined by the sample
statistic + margin of error.
A. True B. False C. Sometimes true D. It depends
