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 hand- held calculators, statistical packages) to aid in your calculation, you must cite the sources and explain how you get the results. You can only submit the Word doc answer sheet. Final Exam answer sheets must be uploaded before the deadline as they will not be accepted via email.

1.

True or False. Justify for full credit.

(a) If A and B are disjoint, P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.5, then P(A OR B) = 0.9.

(b) If the variance for a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set must be
identical.

(c) There may be more than one mode in a data set.

(d) A 90% confidence interval is wider than a 95% confidence interval of the same parameter.

(e) In a right-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 0.03, then we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance.

Choose the best answer. Justify for full credit.
