MOCK EXAM
Second Long Exam
Instructions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is
false, change the underlined word to make the statement correct.
1. In sampling distribution of the
/ n
x
mean,
2. The sampling distribution of the mean, with N=30,000, of a moderately
negatively skewed distribution is approximately normal.
3. The range of the upper bound and lower bound limit increases when the
proportion of successes approaches 0.50.
4. Comparison of the effects of a drug between two different groups of
patients involves statistical inference.
5. s denotes the standard deviation when the population variance is
unknown.
6. The probability distribution of the mean of all samples of size n is called
the sampling distribution of the mean.
7. The determination of the sample mean is not an example of statistical
inference.
8. If the population variance is known, we should use the t-test.
9. Hypothesis testing is a type of descriptive statistics.
10.
is
true for sampling
distribution of the mean.
x
11. In estimating proportions,
nP<5 and nQ>5.
12. The population has a mean of 14 and a standard deviation of 3. The
sample size of your sampling distribution is N=10. The mean of the sampling
distribution of the mean is 14.
13. The Central Limit Theorem provides that the sampling distribution of the
mean of any independent random variable will be normal or nearly normal, if
the sample size is large enough.
14. The proportion of successes in the population is 0.4. The proportion of
successes in the sampling distribution of the proportion is 0.3.
15. Estimation is not statistical inference.
16. If the population variance is unknown, we should use the z-test.
17. When estimating proportions, the standard error is equal to the square
root of the proportion of successes in the sample multiplied by the proportion
of failures in the sample divided by the sample size.
18. Out of 300 students in the school, 225 passed an exam. The mean of the
sampling distribution of the proportion of students who passed the exam in
the school is 0.75.
19. The lower bound of a sample with an n= 50 and p of .4 at 95% confidence
level is 0.35.
20. Out of 300 students in the school, 225 passed an exam. The standard
error of the sampling distribution of the proportion of students who passed
the exam in the school is 0.137.
21. The proportion of failures is equal to one minus the proportion of
successes.
22. The upper bound of a sample with an n=50, a mean of 2 and standard
deviation of 1 at 95% confidence level is 4.6.

D. There is sufficient evidence to say that the mean pulse rate of college men
is equal to the current standard.

In a study of the television viewing habits of children, a developmental psychologist selects a random
sample of 300 first graders - 100 boys and 200 girls. Each child is asked which of the following TV
programs they like best: The Lone Ranger, Sesame Street, or The Simpsons. Results are shown in the
contingency table below.
