Finding probabilities from a survey giving a table of data on the alcohol consumption of males. This can be easily adapted to data from other types of surveys.

Eight questions on finding least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds of various sets.

Find a regression equation.

Given data on probabilities of three levels of success of three options and projections of the profits that the options will accrue depending on the level of success, find the expected monetary value (EMV) for each option and choose the one with the greatest EMV.

The human resources department of a large finance company is attempting to determine if an employee’s performance is influenced by their undergraduate degree subject. Personnel ratings are used to judge performance and the task is to use expected frequencies and the chi-squared statistic to test the null hypothesis that there is no association.

Find out whether the data presented in this question follows a Poisson distribution. Uses the $\chi^2$ test.

Multiple response question (2 correct out of 4) covering properties of Riemann integration. Selection of questions from a pool.

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $a \operatorname{op} b$ where $a, \;b$ can be the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and $\operatorname{op}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example $\neg q \to \neg p$.

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $(a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d)$ where $a, \;b,\;c,\;d$ can be the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example: $(p \lor \neg q) \land(q \to \neg p)$.

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $((a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d))\operatorname{op4}e $ where each of $a, \;b,\;c,\;d,\;e$ can be one the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3},\;\operatorname{op4}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example: $((q \lor \neg p) \to (p \land \neg q)) \lor \neg q$

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $((a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d))\operatorname{op4}(e \operatorname{op5} f) $ where each of $a, \;b,\;c,\;d,\;e,\;f$ can be one the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3},\;\operatorname{op4},\;\operatorname{op5}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example: $((q \lor \neg p) \to (p \land \neg q)) \to (p \lor q)$

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $((a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d))\operatorname{op4}e $ where each of $a, \;b,\;c,\;d,\;e$ can be one the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;r,\;\neg p,\;\neg q,\;\neg r$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3},\;\operatorname{op4}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example: $((q \lor \neg r) \to (p \land \neg q)) \land \neg r$

Given two propositions in mathematics using quantifiers, choose the corresponding negation of the proposition. For example, the negation of: $\displaystyle \exists a \in \mathbb{R^+},\;\exists b \in \mathbb{N},\;\exists c \in \mathbb{N}\;\left[(c \lt b+1) \land \left(\frac{1}{2^n} \geq 3a\right)\right]$

English sentences are given and for each the appropriate proposition involving quantifiers is to be chosen. Also choose whether the propositions are true or false.
