For numbers 42-45 refer to the situation below.

Felix, a Grade 11 student from Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College joined (a)Balangay
Balangkas, the Mathematics and Art Wings of Senior High School Kapulungan. In Balangay Balangkas,
they are tasked to create basic architectural designs. During their first meeting, he had a getting to
know activity with his org mates in which he enjoyed a lot. After a few more weeks of getting to know
each other, their baylan (org adviser) decided to have an election in which Felix won as the org (b)vice
president. Since he was given a big opportunity, Felix didn’t miss the chance to propose projects that
will make their balangay contribute to the needs of the students. Apparently, none of the proposals were
approved since favoring it will require certain (c) funds; in which the organization does not have any at
that moment. With such, Felix created a proposal of fund collection among members. After which, they
hosted seminars that are income generating so that they will be able to procure materials for the
organization. They even talked with their professor to give grade incentives among participants of these
events. Felix was happy since he was able to give help among his/her org mates. This made him
recognized as the student of the year apart from his academic excellence because of his high (d)
grades.

42. Which is a nominal level of measurement?

A. a B. b C. c D. d
43. Which is an ordinal level of measurement?
A. a B. b C. c D. d
44. Which is an interval level of measurement?
A. a B. b C. c D. d
45. Which is a ratio level of measurement?
A. a B. b C. c D. d

For numbers 46-50, answer each problem below in 3-5 sentences.

46 - 50. Mark placed seven candies in a jar of which three are gummy bears, two are chocolate truffles,
and two are sour belts. He asked his best friend to select five candies randomly. After which, he
concluded that there are one hundred and twenty ways, his best friend might pick at least two gummy
bears. Is there a problem in Mark’s conclusion? If there is, identify and give recommendations for it to
be corrected.
