1 Statistics Final Review Semeter I Name MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Provide an appropriate response. 1) The Centers for Disease Control lists causes of death for individual states in The mortality data for one state is given. 1) Cause of Death Percent Heart Disease 28.1 Cancer 23.1 Circulatory diseases and stroke 7.4 Respiratory diseases 5.2 Accidents 4.7 Is it reasonable to conclude that, in this state, cancer or respiratory diseases were the cause of approximately 28% of deaths in 2002? A) No, because the percentages do not add up to 100%. B) Yes, because these categories do not overlap. C) No, because these categories overlap. D) Yes, because the percentages can always be added in relative frequency tables. E) No, because the percentages in relative frequencies tables can never be added. 2) A local park district is planning to build a recreation center. The park district conducted a poll to find out the types of physical activities the local population would be interested in. The poll was based on telephone responses from 1013 randomly selected adults. The table shows the percentages of people who expressed interest in various activities. 2) Activity Percent Running/Walking 53 Weight Training 45 Biking 37 Aerobics 29 Swimming 17 What percent of adults polled did not express interest in any of these activities? A) 91% B) 19% C) 181% D) 81% E) The percent cannot be determined from the given percentages because the categories overlap. 3) The Centers for Disease Control lists causes of death for individual states in The mortality data for one state is given. 3) Cause of Death Percent Heart Disease 28.8 Cancer 22.9 Circulatory diseases and stroke 7.1 Respiratory diseases 5.9 Accidents 4.7 1

2 Which of the following displays is/are appropriate for these data? (More than one display may be appropriate.) I II III A) I, II B) II, III C) I D) I, II, III E) None of these displays are appropriate. Provide an appropriate response. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary. 4) Just how accurate are the weather forecasts we hear every day?

A) 73.7% B) 18.9% C) 81.1% D) 76.4% E) 7.4% 2

3 5) Most patients who undergo surgery make routine recoveries and are discharged as planned, but some patients experience complications and their discharge is delayed. Jamestown has a large hospital and a small hospital, each performing major and minor surgeries. Data is collected at each hospital to see how many surgical patients have their discharges delayed by postsurgical complications. The results are shown in the following table. 5) Discharge Delayed Large hospital Small hospital Major surgery 135 of of 40 Minor surgery 15 of of 200 Overall, for what percent of surgical patients was discharge delayed? A) 12.1% B) 9.9% C) 12.5% D) 48% E) 2.2% Provide an appropriate response. 6) An article in a magazine examined the graduate admissions process at a university for evidence of gender bias. The table below shows the number of applicants accepted to each of four graduate programs. 6) Students Accepted Males accepted (of applicants) Females accepted (of applicants) of of of of of of of of 205 Total 832 of of 675 After reading this article, a classmate claims that there is gender bias because the university clearly accepted more males than females. Do you agree with your classmate? Explain. A) No. Overall, 48.5% of males were accepted, compared to 37% of females were accepted. However, the comparison of the acceptance rate within each program shows that females had a higher acceptance rate for all four programs. B) Yes. Overall, 48.5% of males were accepted, compared to 37% of females were accepted. The overall percentages are always the most valid comparison. C) Yes. Overall, 48.5% of males were accepted, compared to 37% of females were accepted. Additionally, the comparison of the acceptance rate within each program shows that males had a higher acceptance rate for all four programs. D) No. Overall, 48.5% of females were accepted, compared to 37% of males were accepted. Additionally, the comparison of the acceptance rate within each program shows that females had a higher acceptance rate for all four programs. E) No. This is an example of Simpson's paradox and unfair averaging. Since the overall percentages and the individual percentages disagree on which gender was favored, the study is useless. Nothing can be determined from these data. Describe the distribution (shape, center, spread, unusual features). 3

4 7) The histogram displays the body fat percentages of 65 students taking a college health course. In addition to describing the distribution, give a reason to account for the shape of this distribution. 7) A) The distribution of body fat percentages is unimodal, with a bit of a skew to the right. The body fat percentages are centered around 20%, with a range of 10% to 35%. Most students have body fat percentages between 12% and 28%.

B) The distribution of body fat percentages is bimodal, with a cluster of body fat percentages around 16% and another cluster of body fat percentages around 26%. The upper cluster shows a bit of a skew to the right. Most students in the lower cluster have body fat percentages between 16% and 20%, and most students in the upper cluster have body fat percentages between 22% and 26%. Men and women have different body fat percentages: the lower cluster would likely represent male students, and the upper cluster would likely represent female students. C) The distribution of body fat percentages is bimodal, with a cluster of body fat percentages around 16% and another cluster of body fat percentages around 26%. The upper cluster shows a bit of a skew to the right. Most students in the lower cluster have body fat percentages between 12% and 18%, and most students in the upper cluster have body fat percentages between 22% and 28%. Men and women have different body fat percentages: the lower cluster would likely represent male students, and the upper cluster would likely represent female students. D) The distribution of body fat percentages is unimodal, with a bit of a skew to the right. The body fat percentages are centered around 24%, with a range of 10% to 34%. Most students have body fat percentages between 12% and 28%. Men and women have different body fat percentages, but the average of body fat percentages for men and women would be around 24%. E) The distribution of body fat percentages is bimodal, with a cluster of body fat percentages around 12% and another cluster of body fat percentages around 28%. The upper cluster shows a bit of a skew to the right. Most students in the lower cluster have body fat percentages between 12% and 18%, and most students in the upper cluster have body fat percentages between 22% and 28%. Men and women have different body fat percentages: the lower cluster would likely represent male students, and the upper cluster would likely represent female students. 4

This makes the discussion of the distribution meaningless. Re-expressing these data using logs or square roots might make the distribution nearly symmetric, and a meaningful discussion of center and spread might be possible. E) The distribution of assets of the 71 companies is heavily skewed to the left. The vast majority of the companies have assets represented in the first bar of the histogram, 0 to 4 billion dollars.
