Based on a study, the average typing speed of women is normally distributed. Karen verified the results by conducting a similar study and found out that the standard error of the sample mean is 9 words per minute using a sample with a variance of 1 215. Determine the variance of the sampling distribution

A population consists of six values: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Determine the number of samples

You pick a card from a deck. If it is a face card, you will win P500.00. If you get an ace, you will win P1,000. If the card you picked is red you get P100.00. For any other card, you will win nothing. Find the expected value that you can possibly win. 

A small-time bingo card costs P100.00 for 5 games. The prize for the first three games is P5,000.00, the fourth is P10,000.00 and the last prize is P20,000.00. If 1,000 bingo cards are going to be sold and you could only win once, what is the expected value of a ticket? 

A basket of fruits contains eight (8) apples and ten (10) oranges. Half of the apples and half of the oranges are rotten. If one (1) fruit is chosen at random, what is the probability that a rotten apple or an orange is chosen? 

If one ball each is drawn from 3 boxes, the first containing 3 red, 2 yellow, and 1 blue, the second box contains 2 red, 2 yellow, and 2 blue, and the third box with 1 red, 4 yellow, and 3 blue. What is the probability that all 3 balls drawn are different colors?

In a viral pool test it is known that in a group of five (5) people, exactly one (1) will test positive. If they are tested one by one in random order for confirmation, what is the probability that only two (2) tests are needed? 

The number of typing errors on a page follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 6.3. Find the probability of having exactly six (6) errors on a page. 

Find the critical value za/2 that corresponds to the given confidence level of 88%
