Q:

1. (TCO 1) What method of data collection would you use to collect data for a study where a political pollster wishes to determine if his candidate is leading in the polls? 

       use a simulation
       perform an experiment
       take a census
       use sampling

 

2. (TCO 2) The chances of winning the California Lottery are 1 in 22 million. This statement describes 

       inferential statistics
       descriptive statistics

 

3. (TCO 2) The colors of automobiles on a used car lot are 

       quantitative
       qualitative

 

4. (TCO 1) After polling every 8th graduate, a major university estimated the annual salary of its alumni to be $103,000. What sampling technique was used? 

       random
       stratified
       convenience
       cluster
       systematic

 

5. (TCO 2) A recent survey by the alumni of a major university indicated that the average salary of 8000 of its 250,000 graduates was $120,000. This number is a 

       parameter
       statistic

 

6. (TCO 2) Subjects in a sample, when properly selected, should possess 

       the same or similar characteristics as the population desired.
       the same number of discrete variables as the population desired.
       the same qualitative characteristics as the population desired.
       confounding variables that differ from the population desired.

 

7. (TCO 2) Suppose the standard deviation is 13.1. What is the variance? 

       171.62
       13.1
       15.3
       3.62

 

8. (TCO 10) This data shows the temperatures on randomly chosen days during a summer class and the number of absences on those days. (temperature, number of absences) (72, 3), (85, 7), (91, 10), (90, 10), (88, 8), (98, 15), (75, 4), (100, 16), (80, 5)
Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. (Points : 8)

       y = -0.4668x – 31.737
       y = 31.737x – 0.4668
       y = 0.4668x – 31.737
       y = -31.737x + 0.4668

 

9. (TCO 9) A researcher found a significant relationship between a person’s age, a, the number of hours a person works per week, b, and the number of accidents, y, the person has each year. The relationship can be represented by the multiple regression equation y = -3.2 + 0.012a + 0.23b. Predict the number of accidents per year (to the nearest whole number) for a person whose age is 45 and who works 42 hours per week. (Points : 8)
