There is no explicit or implicit guarantee that the upcoming exam will ask similar questions If you use the practice exam as your only tool to help you prepare for the upcoming exam you most likely will not do well on the exam You should still do the things you would have done if you did not have access to this practice exam such as re read the text go over your class notes re work the online homework problems and look at the list of exam topics provided and make sure that you understand all the concepts listed within it 1 1 A study at a medical center examined 129 people to see if contracting hepatitis C was associated with having diabetes Researchers used medical records to determine whether or not the subject has diabetes and or hepatitis C Report your answers to TWO decimal places HAS hepatitis C Does NOT have hepatitis C Total i HAS diabetes 21 39 Does NOT have diabetes 12 57 Total 60 69 129 33 96 3 points What percent of the subjects do not have hepatitis C 96 129 7442 74 42 3 points What percent of the subjects who have diabetes do not have hepatitis C 39 60 6500 65 00 ii 3 points What percent of the subjects with hepatitis C do not have diabetes 12 33 3636 36 36 iii 4 points Do you think there is an association between hepatitis C virus and diabetes Circle your answer YES NO Using the mosaic plot below briefly explain your answer in the space to the right of the plot Seems that subjects with diabetes were more likely to have Hepatitis C The heights of the bars are not equal 2 2 5 points The response times of a particular web server are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 120 milliseconds and a standard deviation of 15 milliseconds Given that any value from a normal distribution with a z score of 0 841 represents the 20th percentile use this fact to calculate the 80th percentile for these response times Recall that the normal distribution is symmetric therefore the z score for the 20th percentile would be the negative value of the z score for the 80th percentile Then solve for y z y 841 y 120 15 y 132 615 milliseconds 3 5 points Suppose that the wait time to reach a technical support person at a large software company is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 4 minutes and a standard deviation of 0 5 minutes Approximately what percent of customers will wait less than 2 75 minutes Use one of the screenshots on the next page to help you answer this question Show any work below and write your final answer on the blank line below Report your final answer to 4 decimal places z y z 2 75 4 0 5 2 5 Customers who have wait times less than 2 75 minutes are 2 5 standard deviations BELOW the average wait time of 4 0 minutes Using the circled graphic on the next page it shows a standard normal model with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 and the area shaded that represents 2 5 standard deviations ABOVE the mean Since the normal model is symmetric if we know that 1 this shaded area will give us the area we are interested in So the final answer is 1 0 9938 0 0062 Final Answer is 0 0062 3 Problem 3 continued 4 4 A survey of college freshmen asked how many minutes per day they talk on the phone

females c Females have the greatest IQR d None of the statements are true ii 3 points The group that seems to have the most outliers is circle the best answer a males b females c none of the groups appear to have outliers d cannot be determined from box plots iii 3 points The group with the least amount of overall variation is circle the best answer a males b females c the groups appear to be similar in terms of overall variation d cannot be determined from box plots 5 5 The following data are from a Sporting Goods Company that manufactures and sells products This small subset of the company s employee data is from its human resource department I C Employee Abram Doug Baker Baker Baker Christine Johnson Paul Parker Laura Edwards John Deal Karl Smith Smith Wood Janice Bunch Chris
