1)A cab driver knows from experience that the number of fares he will pick up in an evening is a random variable with µ = 21.3 and s = 3.4 Assuming that the distribution of this random variable can be approximated closely with a normal curve, find the probabilities that in an evening the driver will pick up (a) at least 30 fares (b) anywhere from 20 to 25 fares inclusively. 

Consider all possible samples of size 2 that can be drawn with replacement from the population 1, 5, and 8. Compute the following:

1. Population mean

2. Population variance

3. Population standard deviation

4. Illustrate the probability histogram of the sampling distribution of the means

1. A supermarket owner believes that the

mean income of its customers is P50,000

per month. One - hundred customers are

randomly selected and asked of thei r

monthly income. The sample mean is

P48,500 per month and the standard

deviation is P3,200. Is there sufficient

evidence to indicate that the mean

income of the customers of the

superma rket is P50,000 per month? Use

�� = 0.05.

The average age of public jeepneys playing in Metro Manila is 15 years. Assume that the standard deviation is 4 years. If a random sample of 64 public jeepneys is chosen, find the probability that the mean of jeepneys ages is Between 12 to 19 years

The final exam in statistics class were normally distributed with a mean of 63 and standard deviation of 5. Find the 90th percentile
