Grade 12 Quiz: Data, Statistics & Probability — Easy Version 1

Grade 12 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer every question. The lesson name before each question tells you which skill it checks — open that lesson if you need a reminder.

How to solve

This quiz mixes questions from different lessons, like a real test. Read each question carefully: the lesson name in front tells you what kind of problem it is. Check your answers, then practise the lessons where you made mistakes.

Example

Expected Value & Binomial Probability: A game costs nothing to enter. You win $18 with probability 12; otherwise you lose $2. What is the expected value of the game in dollars? (Use a negative number for an expected loss.)

Answer: 8

1. Normal Distribution & z-Scores: The exam scores are normally distributed with mean 66 and standard deviation 10. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule: what percent of the data lies above 66?

2. Expected Value & Binomial Probability: The table shows the probability distribution of X. Find the expected value E(X).
x467
P(x)0.10.20.7
3. Statistics & Probability: How many ways can you choose 3 items from a set of 5?
4. Normal Distribution & z-Scores: The battery lifetimes (hours) are normally distributed with mean 520 and standard deviation 50. Find the z-score of a lifetime of 570.
5. Expected Value & Binomial Probability: A basketball player makes 10% of free throws. In 40 attempts, what is the expected (mean) number of made shots?
6. Statistics & Probability: How many ways can you choose 3 items from a set of 4?
7. Normal Distribution & z-Scores: The battery lifetimes (hours) are normally distributed with mean 420 and standard deviation 50. Find the z-score of a lifetime of 320.
8. Expected Value & Binomial Probability: A fair coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads? (fraction)
9. Statistics & Probability: Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability that both show a 6? (as a fraction)
10. Normal Distribution & z-Scores: The exam scores are normally distributed with mean 79 and standard deviation 8. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule: what percent of the data lies below 79?
