1. Jennica would like to conduct a research study on her students’ performance in

mathematics. She is teaching grade 7 students with 5 sections. If you are the adviser, what
is the appropriate sampling technique will you advise to her? Why?

2. For the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2) 3 find

a) the interval(s) of increase and decrease of f,
b) the value(s) of x for which f has a local maximum and minimum,
c) and the interval of concavity and inflection point(s).

3. Differentiate Descriptive from Inferential Statistics.

4. Find four consecutive even integer numbers whose sum is 388.

5. Let A denote the matrix

√3 1
− −2
2
A=[ ]
1 √3
−
2 2

Let T : R 2 → R 2 be the linear transformation given by T(~x) = A~x.

Describe T geometrically

6. Solve the following quadratic equation.

0.01 x 2 - 0.1 x - 0.3 = 0

7. Graph and find the value of P (z >1.5)

8. Suppose you are a Grade 9 Mathematics Teacher, your lesson is about Parallelogram.
What teaching strategy will you use in order to deliver your lesson well?

9. Going for a long trip, Thomas drove for 2 hours and had lunch. After lunch he drove for 3
more hours at a speed that is 20 km/hour more than before lunch. The total trip was 460

11. Ninety individuals, male and female, were given a test in psychomotor skills and their
score were classified into high and low. Test if there is significant relationship between
sex and scores in psychomotor skills at .05 level of significance. The table is shown
below.
SEX HIGH LOW TOTAL
O E O E
Male 18 28 46
Female 32 12 44
Total 50 40 90

12. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength of

the linear relationship between two variables. It is referred to as Pearson's correlation or
simply as the correlation coefficient. If the relationship between the variables is not linear,
then the correlation coefficient does not adequately represent the strength of the
relationship between the variables. Results can be represented in tables and graphs. Based
on the results of Pearson r, give meaningful interpretation on the different graphs showed
below:
