1. what is the (a)variance, and the (b)standard deviation of the following scores : 51, 55, 61, 62, 68, 71, 71, 73, 81, 82, 87, 89, 92, 94, 95, 100

2. Suppose a contest offers $1,000 to the person who can guess the winning four digit number. How many possibilities are there? 
There are 10^4=10000 4-digit sequences if you allow any of the 10 digits to occupy each of the four digit positions. 
What &quot;possibilities&quot; are you looking for? 
---------------
3. Suppose there are 10 items on a true-false quiz. The person taking the test does not read the questions; he just answers the questions randomly. What is the probability of his guessing all answers correctly?
Each answer has two possibilities.
The prob of getting one answer correct is 1/2
The probl of getting 10 correct is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024
