A professor is taking attendence in a small class of 5 students. In how many distinct orders could the professor call the names of the five students ?
a |
120 |
b |
60 |
c |
525 |
d |
25 |
Solution:
Number of student = 5
Total available student name to call for 1st time = 5
Total available student name to call for 2nd time = 4
Total available student name to call for 3rd time = 3
Total available student name to call for 4th time = 2
Total available student name to call for 5th time = 1
Total possible distinct orders that professor call the names of the five students = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 ways. (Option a)

16. From experience, a professor knows that the test score of students taking a final examination is a random variable with mean 65. A. Give an upper bound on the probability that a student's test score will exceed 75 B. Suppose in addition the professor knows that the variance of a student's test score is equal to 30. What can be said about the probability that a student will score between 55 and 75? C. How many students would have...

Many students believe (correctly?) that Professor curves his students’ grades so that the class average always ends up with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 6. a. If his class has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 15, do Professor Lander’s work for him and calculate the necessary linear transformation. b. Which students will suffer from Professor Lander’s curving?
(5)(3 pts) There are 16 students in a class. Twelve of those students are taking a language class, either French, English or Spanish. Seven of the students are taking French, eight are taking English and seven are taking Spanish. Three students are taking French and Spanish, five are taking Spanish and English and four are taking French and English. Use the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion to find the number of students taking all three courses. Let F, E and S represent...

A professor marks an exam and, after compilation of the grades,she finds that her 25 students obtained a class mean of 70%. On the other hand, the median is 74% and the mode is 78%. a) At least how many students scored 74% or more? Explain briefly. b) What could explain that the mean is less than the median? c)Is this grade distribution symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed? Explain briefly. d)One student asks the professor to review his grade....
In a Business Statistics class with 136 students, the professor records how much money each student has in their possession during the first class of the semester. The histogram below is of the data collected. 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Amount of Money 100 Reference: Ref 1-2 The number of students with over $30.00 in their possession is: under 5. about 10. about 30. O over 50.
1. A mathematics professor believes that the performance of students taking an elementary calculus course has declined in recent years. The professor decides to reuse a final exam that was first administered 10 years ago. At that time the mean score was 81 with s=10, for the 50 students in the section taught by that professor When given to the current class of 53 students, who observed essentially the same set of lectures, the mean is 75 with s=15. If...
