Accepted Answer

Poisson distribution

Question 4

A fair coin is tossed 10 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 6 heads? Use the binomial formula: $$P(X = k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k (1-p$$)^{n-k}$$, where n=10$, k=6$, p=0.5$.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

$$[198.04, 201.96]$$

Question 6

Which of the following statements about the standard deviation is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

It measures the spread of data around the mean.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

$$0.3456$$

Question 8

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of a $$p-$$value in hypothesis testing?

Accepted Answer

The probability of obtaining a result as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed result, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

Question 9

A sample of 100 batteries has a mean lifetime of $$500$$ hours and a standard deviation of $$50$$ hours. What is the standard error of the mean?

Accepted Answer

$$5$$

Question 10

If the correlation coefficient $$r$$ between two variables is $$-0.85$$, which of the following best describes the relationship?

Accepted Answer

Strong negative linear relationship

Question 11

A Poisson process models the number of cars passing through a toll booth at a rate of $$\lambda = 3$$ cars per minute. What is the probability that exactly 5 cars pass through in a given minute? (Use $$P(X=k) = \frac{e$$^{-\lambda}$$ \lambda^k}{k!})$$

Accepted Answer

$$0.1008$$

Question 12

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the one-way ANOVA test?

Accepted Answer

The sample means are equal.

Question 13

A regression analysis yields the equation $$\hat{y} = 2 + 0.5x. $$What is the predicted value of $$y$$ when $$x = 8$$?

Accepted Answer

$$6$$

Question 14

Which of the following best describes a Type I error in hypothesis testing?

Accepted Answer

Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

Question 15

A pharmaceutical company tests a new drug and finds a $$p-$$value of $$0.03$$ when testing at a $$0.05$$ significance level. What is the correct conclusion?

Accepted Answer

Reject the null hypothesis; the result is statistically significant.

Question 16

Which of the following is a discrete random variable?

Accepted Answer

The number of cars in a parking lot

Question 17

A data set has a mean of $$10$$ and a standard deviation of $$2. $$What is the $$z-$$score for a value of $$14$$?

Accepted Answer

$$2$$

Question 18

A survey of 200 people finds that 120 prefer product A and 80 prefer product B. What is the sample proportion of people who prefer product A?

Accepted Answer

$$0.60$$

Question 20

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the coefficient of determination $$R^2 in $$regression analysis?

Accepted Answer

The proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable.
