Study Notes
Quantitative Methods for Computing
- Question 1: A company recorded ages of five employees (22, 18, 20, 25, 15). Calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR). IQR is calculated by finding the lower quartile (Q1), upper quartile (Q3), and subtracting Q1 from Q3.
- Question 2: Probability of drawing a spade, then a diamond, then a heart from a deck of 52 cards without replacement. Calculate the probability of drawing a spade, diamond, and heart in sequence.
- Question 3: Standard Error of the Mean: Given a population mean of 55 and standard deviation of 15, calculate the standard error of the mean for a sample size of 30.
- Question 4: A survey of 160 students about their preferred mode of transportation to school. The data included: 70 Car, 50 Bus, 30 Bicycle, 5 Walking, and 5 Other.
- Question 5: Relationship between population, sample distribution, and confidence intervals. A confidence interval can be constructed using the sample mean and a sample standard deviation, making assumptions about the distribution of the population values.
- Question 6: Probability of selecting two faulty batteries from a batch of 12 batteries, 4 of which are faulty. Calculate the probability of selecting two faulty batteries without replacement.
- Question 7: Expected value and variance of a discrete random variable X with following probability distribution: X: 1, 2, 3, 4; P(X=x): 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4
- Question 8: Data set of 12 individual heights (cm): 147.5, 154.3, 165.8, 157.1, 174.6, 182.3, 160.2, 169.9, 178.4, 164.0, 146.5, 152.5. Determine if the data is continuous, discrete, ordinal, or categorical.
- Question 9: Survey data: 120 participants, 70 prefer tea, 50 prefer coffee, 30 prefer both tea and coffee. Determine the probability that a tea-preferring participant also prefers coffee.
- Question 10: Probability that a randomly selected test score is greater than 85 given a normal distribution with mean (μ=70), standard deviation (σ=10).
- Question 11: Two cards are drawn sequentially from a standard deck. Find the probability that the second card is a king, given that the first card drawn is a jack.
- Question 12: Explain sampling error in statistical inference. Sampling error is the difference between a sample statistic (like the mean) and the corresponding population parameter (the true mean). Sampling error arises due to random variability in the sample.
- Question 13: Standard Error of the Mean: What is the standard error of the mean (SEM) given standard deviation of 20, and a sample size of 64.
- Question 14: Weight(kg) of randomly selected adult males. What is the probability that a randomly selected male weighs more than 85 kg given a normal distribution with mean (μ=70), standard deviation (σ=12).
- Question 15: Data from a random sample of 45 data points. What is the most likely scenario with a sample mean of 15 and variance of 5.
- Question 16: Factors affecting confidence interval width. Describe the factors that influence the width of a confidence interval (sample size, standard deviation, and confidence level).
- Question 17: Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of rolling a sum of 7 and at least one 3.
- Question 18: Relationship between sample mean and population mean. If the sample mean closely approximates the true population mean value, we can use it to estimate the latter.
- Question 19: Confidence interval: Calculate a 95% confidence interval for a population mean, given a sample mean of 50, standard deviation of 10, and sample size of 100.
- Question 20: Standard Error of the Mean: Which statement about standard error of the mean is accurate?
