Introduction to Statistics

STAT 200: Introduction to Statistics Final Examination, Spring 2017 OL4/US2 Page 1 of 8 STAT 200 OL4 / US2 Sections Final Exam Spring 2017 This is an open-book exam. You may refer to your text and other course materials as you work on the exam, and you may use a calculator. You must complete the exam individually. Neither collaboration nor consultation with others is allowed. It is a violation of the UMUC Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism policy to use unauthorized materials or work from others. Answer all 20 questions. Make sure your answers are as complete as possible. Show all of your supporting work and reasoning. Answers that come straight from calculators, programs or software packages without any explanation will not be accepted. If you need to use technology (for example, Excel, online or handheld calculators, statistical packages) to aid in your calculation, you must cite the sources and explain how you get the results. Record your answers and work on the separate answer sheet provided. You must include the Honor Pledge on the title page of your submitted final exam. Exams submitted without the Honor Pledge will not be accepted. Exam should be submitted by the end of Sunday, May 7. STAT 200: Introduction to Statistics Final Examination, Spring 2017 OL4/US2 Page 2 of 8 1. True or False. Justify for full credit. (a) If A and B are any two events, then P(A AND B) ≤ P(A OR B). (b) If the variance of a data set is 0, then all the observations in this data set must be zero. (c) The volume of milk in a jug of milk is 128 oz. The value 128 is from a discrete data set. (d) When plotted on the same graph, a distribution with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 5 will look less spread out than a distribution with a mean of 40 and standard deviation of 8. (e) In a left-tailed test, the value of the test statistic is -2. The test statistic follows a distribution with the distribution curve shown below. If we know the shaded area is 0.97, then we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. 2. Choose the best answer. Justify for full credit.
