📘 Probability & Statistics – Advanced Quiz

Name: __________________________
Time: 60 minutes
Calculator: Allowed

Part A – Exact & Compound Probability

1. A bag contains 5 red, 4 blue, and 3 green marbles. Two marbles are drawn
without replacement.
Find the exact probability that both marbles are the same color.

2. A card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that
the card is:

a) A heart OR a face card


b) A red face card
c) Not a number card

3. A school has 60 students in a math club.


• 25 are in Algebra
• 20 are in Statistics
• 12 are in both

If one student is chosen at random, find:

a) P(Algebra OR Statistics)
b) P(Algebra ONLY)
c) P(neither)

4. A spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1–8. It is spun twice.


Find the probability that:
a) The sum is exactly 10
b) The sum is at least 12
c) The product is less than 10

Part B – Binomial Probability (Exact / At least / At most)

5. The probability that a student passes a driving test is 0.8. If 6 students


take the test, find the probability that:

a) Exactly 5 pass
b) At least 4 pass
c) At most 2 fail

6. A basketball player makes a free throw with probability 0.7. She shoots 10
free throws.

Find the probability that:

a) Exactly 8 are made


b) At least 7 are made
c) Fewer than 5 are made

Part C – Mean, Median, and Tables

7. The test scores of 9 students are:

72, 85, 91, 68, 75, 83, 95, 88, 74

Find:
a) Mean
b) Median
c) Range

8. A data table shows the number of books read by students:

Book Frequen
s cy

0 3

1 5
Book Frequen
s cy

2 8

3 6

4 4

Find the mean number of books read.

9. A dataset has mean = 60. One more value (100) is added to the dataset.
Will the new mean be greater than 60, less than 60, or equal to 60? Explain
briefly.

Part D – Scatterplots & Best-Fit

10. A scatterplot shows that as study time increases, test scores also
increase.

a) Is the correlation positive, negative, or none?


b) Would a linear model be appropriate? Why?
c) If a line of best fit predicts a score of 82 when a student studies 4 hours,
what does this mean?

11. The line of best fit for a dataset is:

y = 3x + 50

Find:

a) The predicted value when x = 6


b) What the slope means in context
c) Whether this model would make sense for x = 100

Part E – Empirical Rule & z-Scores

12. Test scores are normally distributed with mean = 70 and standard
deviation = 5.
a) What percent of students score between 65 and 75?
b) What percent score above 80?
c) What percent score below 60?

13. A student scored 82 on a test. The mean is 70 and the standard


deviation is 4.

Find the z-score and explain what it means.

14. The heights of students are normally distributed with mean = 165 cm
and standard deviation = 6 cm.

Between what two heights do about 95% of students fall?

Part F – Regression & Population Mean

15. A regression line is:

y = 2.5x + 40

a) Predict y when x = 12
b) If the actual value is 75, find the residual
c) What does a positive residual mean?

16. A population has mean = 50 and standard deviation = 10.

Find the z-score of a value 65.
