Prefinal Exam in Stat

This document provides instructions for a pre-final exam in statistics and probability. It contains 10 multiple choice questions covering topics like the central limit theorem, standard error, sampling distributions, and parameters. It also includes 2 short answer problems - one on determining sample size using Slovin's formula and knowing the average height of a school population, and another on finding the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a sampling distribution from a small test population.

____ 10. Mr. Cruz, the municipal mayor wants to know whether his constituents are in favor or not of the

different groups of his constituents, from the youths, adults, and from senior citizens.
a. Stratified Random Sampling c. Cluster Sampling
b. Systematic Sampling d. Simple random Sampling
II. Analyze each of the following problems. Show your solutions.
1. Supposing that your school has a population of 5,000 students and you want to know the average
height of the students, it would be impractical to interview or to get the height of all students. All you
need to do is to determine the sample size that will estimate the whole population (To determine the n,
use the Slovin’s Formula). If the sample size obtained will be distributed from Grade 7 to Grade 12, how
many samples will be taken randomly from each grade level?

2. Consider a population consisting of the scores of 3 students in a Statistic test { 18 , 22 ,25 }. Suppose
samples of size 2 are drawn from this population, find the following

a. μ x
2
b. σ x
c. σ x
