2. The average of four number is 40. The third is 13 more than the second. The second
is eight. The fourth is 7 less than the first. Find the first number.
We also know that the second number (b) is 8, so we can substitute that in:
a + 8 + c + d = 160
We know that the third number (c) is 13 more than the second number (b), so we can
write:
c = b + 13
We also know that the fourth number (d) is 7 less than the first number (a), so we can
write:
d=a-7
Simplifying, we get:
2a + 22 = 160
3. The mean height of Ian, Charles, Mark, and Christian is 66 inches. What is the height
of Alex if the mean height of the five boys is 70 inches?
The mean height of the five boys is 70 inches, so their total height is:
5 * 70 = 350 inches
We know that Alex's height (x) is missing from the first sum of heights (264 inches) and
included in the second sum of heights (350 inches). So we can set up the following
equation:
264 + x = 350
Total salary = (22 x 7100) + (32 x 7500) + (18 x 6800) + (16 x 8100) + (10 x 7700) + (12 x 7100)
Finally, we can find the mean monthly salary by dividing the total salary by the total number of
employees:
Therefore, the mean monthly salary of all the employees of BASC is ₱7,367.27.
5. The following are the daily salaries of a group of employees. Find the mean, median
and mode.

6. A sample of weights and heights of five men member of a teacher officer showed
their weights and heights in years:
Age 22 18 26 20 24
Answer: To compare the relative variability of the two data sets, we can use the
coefficient of variation (CV), which is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
CV of Age = (2.83/22) x 100% = 12.86%
E. Why?
Answer: The set of weight data is relatively more variable because its coefficient of
variation is higher than that of the age data. This means that the weight data has a
greater dispersion around the mean compared to the age data, in proportion to the
mean itself. This could be due to individual differences in body type, lifestyle, or dietary
habits, among other factors.
7. Consider the following measurements in liters for two sample of milk tea juice bottled
by two competing brands A and B.
Brand A 0.92 1.00 0.94 1.03 1.11
E. If you are to buy bottled orange juice, which product will you prefer?
Based on the mean content and standard deviation, both brands are relatively close in
terms of consistency and mean content. Therefore, the decision may depend on other
factors such as taste, price, or brand loyalty.

9. Supposed that the mean age of the employees of Bulacan Agricultural State College
is 45.5 years old and the standard deviation is 7.25 and it is normally distributed. a.
What is the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose age is
younger than or equal to 47 years old?
b. What is the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose
age is older than or equal to 55 years old?
c. What is the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose
age falls between 45.5 and 50.25 years old?
d. What is the probability that the ages of the group of randomly selected
employees will fall between 25 and 37.5 years old?
Show your Solution (Draw and shade the intended Area for Normal Distribution):
a. To solve for the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose age is
younger than or equal to 47 years old, we need to find the z-score first:
z = (x - μ) / σ
z = (47 - 45.5) / 7.25
z = 0.21
Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find that the probability of a z-
score of 0.21 or less is approximately 0.5832. Therefore, the probability that a group of randomly
selected employees whose age is younger than or equal to 47 years old is 0.5832.
b. To solve for the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose age is older
than or equal to 55 years old, we need to find the z-score first:
z = (x - μ) / σ
z = (55 - 45.5) / 7.25
z = 1.31
Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find that the probability of a z-
score of 1.31 or more is approximately 0.0951. Therefore, the probability that a group of
randomly selected employees whose age is older than or equal to 55 years old is 0.0951.
c. To solve for the probability that a group of randomly selected employees whose age falls
between 45.5 and 50.25 years old, we need to find the z-scores for both values:
z1 = (x1 - μ) / σ
z1 = (45.5 - 45.5) / 7.25
z1 = 0
z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ
z2 = (50.25 - 45.5) / 7.25
z2 = 0.65
Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find the area between z1 and
z2, which is approximately 0.2546. Therefore, the probability that a group of randomly selected
employees whose age falls between 45.5 and 50.25 years old is 0.2546.
d. To solve for the probability that the ages of the group of randomly selected employees will fall
between 25 and 37.5 years old, we need to find the z-scores for both values:
z1 = (x1 - μ) / σ
z1 = (25 - 45.5) / 7.25
z1 = -2.83
z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ
z2 = (37.5 - 45.5) / 7.25
z2 = -1.10
Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find the area between z1 and
z2, which is approximately 0.1357. Therefore, the probability that the ages of the group of
randomly selected employees will fall between 25 and 37.5 years old is 0.1357.
