that be done?

4. How many 6 member volleyball teams can you make out of 12 people?

5. A basket contains 33 apples. How many ways can a person select 6 apples?

6. In how many ways can 7 people line up on a bus?

8. In how many ways can the letters in the word “probability” be arranged?

9. In your closet you have 28 shirts, 13 pairs of pants, and 8 pairs of shoes. In how many ways
can you choose an outfit to wear?

10. A password for a particular website must consist of 4 numbers and then 2 letters.
a) How many different passwords can you make if numbers and letters can repeat?

b) How many passwords if the numbers and letters cannot repeat?


11. A normal distribution has a mean of 287 and a standard deviation of 65.
a. What range of values represents the middle 68% of the data?

b. What percent of data will be more than 417?

c. What range of values represents the low 0.15% of the data?

12. The average time it takes sophomores to complete a math test is normally distributed with a mean
of 63.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 12.3 minutes.
a. About what percent of the sophomores take more than 80 minutes to complete the test?

b. About what percent of the sophomores take between 50 and 60 minutes?

c. About what percent of the sophomores take less than 40 minutes to complete the test?

13. Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed. The mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15. If
6000 people took the test, how many of them scored between 85 and 130?

Variation Questions:
1) Y varies directly as x and y is 45 when x is 63. Find y when x is 56.

2) Z varies jointly as x and y and z is 2 when x is 3 and y is 4. Find z when x is ½ and y is 3.

3) Y varies inversely as the square of x. If y is 10 when x is 12, find x when y is 6.

Regression Question:
A pumpkin tossing contest is held, where people compete to see whose catapult will send pumpkins the farthest.
One catapult launches pumpkins from 25 feet above the ground at a speed of 125 feet per second. The table
shows the horizontal distances the pumpkin travels when launched at different angles. Use your calculator to find
a best-fit model for the data. Then determine what angle produces the maximum distance.

Angle: 20 30 40 50 60 70

Distance: 372 462 509 501 437 323

Regression Answer at the bottom.
