Answers to Statistics and Probability Part 1: Mechanical Engineer Board Exam Review
girls and 3 boys in 7 vacant chairs? Solution: The total number of persons to be seated is 8 and the number of chairs is only 7. When words denoting arrangement are used, it most likely pertains to permutations. So, the formula to be used is permutation of 8 taking 7 at a time. n = 8, r = 7, nPr, then use your calculator or this formula nPr = n!/(n-r)! = 8!(8-1)!=40320 permutations or arrangements A. 40320
2. How many 3-digit numbers can you make out of the numbers 1 to 5 without repetition?
Solution: Since the number varies as you rearrange the digits (example 1342 is different from 1423), then this problem is about permutation. So, the formula is the permutation of 5 numbers taken 3 at a time. n = 5, r = 3, nPr; use your calculator or this formula: nPr = n!/(n-r)! nPr = 5!/(5-3)!=60 permutations C. 60
three balls are drawn randomly in succession without replacement, what is the probability that the first ball is white, and the next two balls are blue? Solution: The probability that the first ball is white is Pw = 2/(2+3+4)=2/9 The probability that the second ball is blue is Pb1=4/8 =1/2; we changed the denominator since the total number of balls has been reduced. The probability that the last ball drawn is blue again is Pb2 = 3/7; we reduced the total to 7 and the number of available blue is down to 3. The probability that all this happen in correct succession is: Pwbb = (2/9)(1/2)(3/7)=1/21 D. 1/21
numbers: 54, 45, 75, 60, 65, 65, 60, and 57? Solution: the mode of a given set of numbers is the most frequent number; in this case those numbers are 65 and 65, both occurring twice. D. 60 and 65
Solution: The media is the number that divides the upper and the lower half of the samples. To find the media, arrange the data in order either increasing or decreasing In this case: 45 54 57 60 60 65 65 75; Since the number of samples is 8 (even), we have to get the average of the two middle samples Median = (60+60)/2 = 60 B. 60
number 4, what is the variance? Solution: variance is the measure of how much does the samples deviate from the mean or average. Variance (^2) is given by the formula ^2= [(x-ave)^2/(n-1)] or use your calculator Average = 60.125 ^2= [(x-ave)^2/(n-1)] = 77.84 A. 77.84
7. Seven boys are to be seated around a circular table. How many arrangements can be made?
Since no indication as to the number of seats available, lets assume that it is equal to the number of boys, 7 Again, this is a permutation problem, but this time, in circular arrangement The formula for circular permutation is given by nPr (cyclic) = (n-1)! So, nPr (cyc) = (7-1)! = 720 D. 720
7-seater bench supposing that the four girls want to be seated together? Solution: Since one group wants to be together, then we will use conditional permutation techniques. In this case, because the girls cant be separated, lets treat the girls group as one person or block. The permutation of the boys and the group of girls therefore has the total number of n= 4, that is 3 boys plus 1 girls block. The number of arrangement possible is given by nPr = 4P4=24 Remember though, that the girls can be rearranged as long as they are together, therefore, the total permutation inside the girls block is nPr = 4P4=24. Combining the two permutations we have nPr (total) = (24) (24) = 576 C. 576
the probability that you will scolded by your boss is 15%. What is the probability that you will be both late and scolded by your boss? Solution: The problem doesnt mention that the cause of being scolded is caused by you being late. With that we can treat those two events as independent from each other. The probability that the two independent events will happen can be obtained by getting the product of each probabilities. Pa&b = (Pa)(Pb) = (0.35)(0.15)=0.0525 = 5.25% A. 5.25%
10. From question number 9, what is the probability that you will either be late or scolded
by your boss? Solution: This is an OR condition (the condition is valid if only when one of the two conditions happened) and is not mutually exclusive (meaning the two outcomes may happen at the same time: being late and being scolded) The formula to be used is: Paorb = Pa+Pb Pa&b Paorb = 0.35+0.15-(0.35)(0.15)=0.4475 Paorb = 44.75% C. 44.75%
x2-2x-15 = 0 Solution: Think of factors of the last digit that when subtracted gives the coefficient of the middle term In this case, -15 can only be (3, -5), (-3, 5), (15, -1) or (-15, 1). Among these factors, (3, -5) is the only one whose sum will be equal to -3. So the solution set of the equation will be X-5=0; x1 = 5 X+3=0; x2 = -3 Alternative Solution: By trial and error (best when using your calculator), try each choices and see which among them when substituted to x will make the equation true, that is, x2-2x-15 equals zero. B. (5, -3)
Solution: The progression above is a Geometric progression since there is a common ratio (r). In this case, the common ratio is 4 and the next terms are obtained by multiplying the previous term by 4. So, next to 128 will be 128X 4 = 512
C. 512
Using properties of logarithm: nlna = lna^n In this case, lnx^3=8 By making both sides an exponent of e (Eulers number), we can cancel the ln. e^(lnx^3)=e^8 x^ 3 = e^8 x= e^ (8/3) A. e^ (8/3)
Solution: Squaring both sides of x+y =1 we get (x+y) ^2=1^2; x2+2xy+y2=1; But x2+y2=2 so 2+ 2xy=1 or xy=-1/2; Square both sides, 4x2y2=1; x2y2=1/4 Lets square both sides of x2+y2=2; (X2+y2) ^2=2^2 then x4+2x2y2+y4 = 4; But x2y2=1/4 so, x4+y4+2(1/4) =4 Solving the equation will give us X4 +y4 =7/2
D. 7/2
Solution: Using properties of logarithm; lnx3=3lnx and lny4=4lny So lnx3/lny4 will be 3lnx/4lny = 3(5)/4(2) =15/8 B. 15/8
other hand, James, being new to the job can type the same document in 5 hours. If they work together, how long can they finish 2 documents? Solution: rate of Joan 1/3; rate of James 1/5 Rate=no job/time time = no of job/rate If they work together, their rate will be added t= 2 jobs/ (1job/3hrs+1job/5hrs) t=3.75 hours
D. 3.75 hrs
7. Three numbers are in the ratio 1: 2: 4. Find the numbers if their sum is 42.

A. 6, 12, 24
expansion of (5x-4)^5 Solution: To find the sum of the coefficients of an expansion, just replace the variable by 1 in the expression. In this case, (5x-4) ^5; [(5(1)-3] ^5=32

1. A 20kg block is resting in a horizontal surface. Calculate the force required to move it if the
coefficient of static and dynamic friction are 0.75 and 0.6 respectively. Solution: F= (COF) N N=W=mg= (20kg) (9.81m/s2) F= 0.75 (20) (9.81) ; use static COF if the body is at rest F= 147.15 N (B)
2. A 100kg object is sliding over a surface with static and dynamic coefficient of friction values of 0.5 and 0.3 respectively. If the initial velocity of the object is 10m/s, how long will it travel before it completely stops? Solution: FBD
Summation of horizontal force: REF-Fr=0 REF=Fr REF= (W/g) (a) Fr= (COF) (N)
Summation of Vertical forces: N=W (W/g)(a)=(COF)(N) a/g=COF a= (COF) (g) Note: Use dynamic COF value since the body is already in motion. a=0.3 (9.81) = 2.943 m/s2 a=-2.943 (negative, because the body is decelerating) Using the rectilinear motion equation: V^2= v0^2+2aS S= (V2-v02)/ (2a) Since the final velocity is zero S= (0-10) ^2/ (2) (-2.943) S=16.989 m (A)
then rotated at the speed of 100 RPM. Calculate the tension on the rope. F=ma; a=v^2/r (normal acceleration for revolving bodies) v= (pi)(D)(N)/60=2pirN/60 v=2(3.1416)(1.5)(100/60) v=15.708 m/s a= (15.708)^2/1.5 a=164.5 m/s2 F=1(164.5) F=164.5 N (D)
4. A bullet is fired vertically from a gun situated 2 m above the ground. If the initial speed of the
bullet is 100m/s, how high will it travel before it starts falling? Assume negligible air resistance.
V^2=v0^2+2as; a=-g (decelerating at the value of freely falling acceleration) V=0; since at the highest point, the bullet will stop and starts falling down. 0=100^2+2 (-9.81)(S) S=509.7 m+2m S=511.7 m (D)

7. A 20mm thick, 50 cm in diameter wheel made of cast iron (density: 6.0kg/cu m) starts rotating
from rest and in 1 minute, attained an angular speed of 200 RPM. Calculate the angular acceleration in rad/s2?
= (- 0)/t 0=0 (from rest) =200 rev/min (1min/60s) (2pi rad/rev) = 20.944 rad/s = (20.944 rad/s)/ (60s) =0.349 rad/s2 (B)
of a 100m-high hill towards the plains. Calculate the final speed of the ball when it reaches the foot of the hill. Assume negligible friction. V^2=v0^2+2as; a=g=9.81m/s2 V^2=0+2(9.81) (100) V=44.294 m/s (D)
9. A 500kg car is moving around a 500 m radius road with 5 degrees banking. If the minimum
friction between the tires and the road is 0.2 during rainy days, calculate the maximum speed limit. Tan (X) =v^2/gR; for speed limit computation, the assumption is NO FRICTION (for safety factor) Tan (5) =v^2/ ((9.81) (500)) V= 20.715 m/s V=74 kph (C)
