3. A division wide aptitude test in Mathematics was conducted to 3 800 students. The mean of the test is 58 and the standard deviation is 14.



a. What is the score that divides the distribution into two such that 80% of the cases is below it.



b. What are the scores that bounds the middle 90% of the distribution.



c. How many scores are between 60 and 96?



d. How many students belong to the top 12% of the examinees?






A. State whether the z- scores locates the raw score X within a sample or within a population. B. From Exercise A, state whether each raw score(X) lies below or above the mean (Compute the z- value). C. From Exercise B, find the corresponding area and draw the standard normal curve.


Currently, all of SMO operations are carried out on two separate production lines, one driven by a new PC machine and the other by a relatively older machine. Recent monitoring of each machine show that the probability of failure in the new one is 0.3 % and in the old one is 0.7%. Given that the quality assurance department insists on a probability of 99.999% that at least one machine is working at all times, advise SMO if this condition is being satisfied.


Draw flow charts to this questions.

Exercise 1.

  1. Input two numbers to find the highest number and then display it.

Exercise 2.

  1. Modify the Exercise 1 to find the both highest and the lowest to display them.

The weight of goats at a farm is normally distributed with a mean of 60 kg and a standard deviation of 10 kg. A truck used to transport goats can only accommodate not more than 650 kg. If 10 goats are selected at random from the population, what is the probability that the total weight exceeds the maximum weight?

The personnel manager of a firm wants to compare the job satisfaction level of the




employees among the firm’s Finance, Purchase and Sales departments. A battery of




questions are administered to randomly selected employees from each of the three




departments resulting in the following job satisfaction level scores:




Finance: 14, 12, 13, 12, 11 Purchase: 18, 19, 20, 18, 16 Sales: 10, 12, 17, 11, 13
