Answer Sheet

Instructions:

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.

Record your answers and work in this document.

Answer all 20 questions. Make sure your answers are as complete as possible. Show all of
your work and reasoning. In particular, when there are calculations involved, you must
show how you come up with your answers with critical work and/or necessary tables.
Answers that come straight from calculators, programs or software packages without
explanation will not be accepted. If you need to use technology to aid in your calculation,
you have to cite the source and explain how you get the results. For example, state the
Excel function along with the required parameters when using Excel; describe the detailed
steps when using a hand-held calculator; or provide the URL and detailed steps when using
an online calculator, and so on.

Show all supporting work and write all answers in the spaces allotted on the following pages.
You may type your work using plain-text formatting or an equation editor, or you may hand-
write your work and scan it. In either case, show work neatly and correctly, following standard
mathematical conventions. Each step should follow clearly and completely from the previous
step. If necessary, you may attach extra pages.

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. Your exam will receive a
zero grade unless you complete the following honor statement.

Please sign (or type) your name below the following honor statement:

I understand that it is a violation of the UMUC Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism policy to
use unauthorized materials or work from others. I promise that I did not discuss any aspect of
this exam with anyone other than my instructor. I further promise that I neither gave nor
received any unauthorized assistance on this exam, and that the work presented herein is
entirely my own.

Let X be the number of heads in S such that → X(HH) = 2, X(HT) = 1, X(TH) =
1 and X(TT) = 0. It follows that:

number of times the process is repeated:

𝒏
𝑷(𝒙 = 𝒌) = ( ) ∗ 𝒑𝒌 ∗ 𝒒𝒏−𝒌
𝒌
𝒏 𝒏!
( )=
𝒌 𝒌! ∗ (𝒏 − 𝒌)!
Thus:
For k = 0:

𝑷(𝒙 = 𝟎) = ∗ ( )𝟎 ∗ ( )𝟐−𝟎
𝟎! ∗ (𝟐 − 𝟎)! 𝟐 𝟐

𝟐! 𝟏 𝟎 𝟏 𝟐 𝟏

to calculate the average of x it is enough to add the number of data and
divide by the amount of these in the following way

𝟎+𝟏+𝟐
𝐱̅ = =𝟏

Using the STDEV excel function the standard deviation was calculated for x
Answer:

(b)
𝑷(𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝟓)

Answer:
(a)
Test for two sample paired t-test: This is because there are two sample paired:
the sample of students before exercise and the sample of students after
exercise, in which you have the same individual, which are the students of
UMUC. The way in which a sample is taken, in this case, does affect the way in
which the other sample is taken.

(b)
Null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 (regular exercises does not help weight loss)

(c)
Alternative hypothesis 𝑯𝑨 : μ1 > μ2 (regular exercises help weight loss)
(d)
Test statistic:

(e)
p-value:

(f)
we cannot reject ho since the value of p is greater than 0.05
17
(g)
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩 − 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 > 𝛂(𝟎. 𝟎𝟕𝟔 > 𝟎. 𝟎𝟓)

for the p-value value obtained previously we can show that there is no positive
correlation, therefore there is not enough evidence to affirm that regular
exercise helps to lose weight

Answer:

(a)
Chi square goodness of fit test. This is because the Chi square goodness of fit test is
used to determine how well the experimental values coincide with the theoretical
values, and in the study carried out, it was sought to determine if the color
distribution for the M & M correponded with the levels reported by the UMUC.

(b)
We indicate the null and alternative hypothesis and the level of significance

(e)
Conclusion:
We Reject Ho since the p-value is less than 0.05

(f)
when rejecting ho previously this indicates that there is a positive correlation between
the study variables therefore, we have sufficient to support the claimed probability
distribution of color

Work for (c) and (d):

𝑿𝟐 = 𝟖. 𝟖𝟓
Now we proceed to find the degrees of freedom for this exercise:
𝒅𝒇 = 𝒌 − 𝟏 = 𝟔 − 𝟏 = 𝟒
With the previously obtained data we will calculate the p-value:
𝑿𝟐 𝒄𝒅𝒇(𝟖. 𝟖𝟓, 𝟏𝑬𝟗𝟗, 𝟒)

Answers:

(a)

(b)
𝒚 = 𝟔𝟓. 𝟒

19 (c)
𝒚 = 𝟒𝟐. 𝟔𝟓

(d)

𝒚 = 𝟔𝟓. 𝟒

Work for (a), (b), and (c):

STAT 200 Final Examination Fall 2018 OL1/US1 Page 18 of 19

Using excel we find:

a)
̅𝒙 = 𝟕𝟓. 𝟓 , ̅ = 𝟕𝟒. 𝟐
𝒚
𝑺𝑺𝒙 = 𝟐𝟓𝟐. 𝟐𝟓
𝑺𝑺𝒚 = 𝟐𝟑𝟑. 𝟏𝟔
𝑺𝑺𝒙𝒚 = 𝟐𝟑𝟎. 𝟒

𝐒𝐒𝐱𝐲 𝟐𝟑𝟎.𝟒
Slope: 𝒃 = = 𝟐𝟓𝟐.𝟐𝟓 = 𝟎. 𝟗𝟏
𝐒𝐱

̅ − 𝒃𝒙
Y-intercept: 𝒂 = 𝒚 ̅ = 𝟕𝟒. 𝟐 − 𝟎. 𝟗𝟏(𝟕𝟓. 𝟓) =6.25
𝒚 = 𝒂 + 𝒃𝒙

b)
From the regression equation we will find the average score of the test if it is 65
𝒚 = 𝟔. 𝟐𝟓 + 𝟎. 𝟗𝟏(𝟔𝟓)
c)
Now we do the same for 40
𝒚 = 𝟔. 𝟐𝟓 + 𝟎. 𝟗𝟏(𝟒𝟎)

d
The predicted score for the final exam closest to the real is 65.4, because if we take
into account that the average p values gave us 74.2 for this reason the aforementioned
value is the most appropriate for this exercise.
