Check that you have all the consecutively numbered pages of this test, up to the last page which
contains a normal table. Please give all probabilities and proportions to four decimal places unless
they are unnecessary zeroes.
Best marks go to best answers, as a general rule, particularly where some explanation is requested, so
try to be complete but also clear and concise; a lot of nonsense can decrease your grade.
Show your work and answer in the space provided (or indicate clearly where to look), and in
ink. Pencil may be used, but then remarks will not be allowed.
Marks are shown in brackets at the end of the question parts, and are distributed as follows:

Good luck!!
1) Choose one appropriate graphic from the following list that best displays the information
collected in each question. You may use some words more than once, or not at all. Some
questions have more than one possible answer; try to choose the best.

a) A medical researcher wants to compare two drugs, to see which one lowers blood pressure
the most. Use a
Side-by-side boxplot
b) An engineer wants to see if the number of employees on shift at a factory is related to the
number of items produced during the day. Use a
Scatterplot
c) For a class of 525 students, we would like to look at the distribution of marks from the
prerequisite class. Use a
Histogram
d) A sociologist wants to see if there is a relationship between Pet Ownership (Dog, Cat, Other,
None) and Stress Level (High, Medium, Low) for several adults in their forties. Use a
Contingency Table
e) A member of the athletic staff wants to learn what type of people are using the gym at UTM.
At lunch time, they walk around and count the members who are either (Running, Lifting
weights, or Stretching). Use a
Bar Chart
2) The following table shows the relationship between the number of students who recently
accessed Portal and their lecture section.

4) Assume that the amount of calories (Kcal) consumed per day by a person (in North America) is
Normally distributed with a mean of 2200 and a standard deviation of 600. (2 mks each)
[10]
a) What proportion of North Americans consume less than 2000 Kcal / day?
( < 2000) = <
2000 2200
= ( < 0.33)
600
= 1 (0.33) = 1 0.6293 = .
b) What is the probability that a random North American consumes more than 2500 Kcal / day?
( > 2500) = >
2500 2200
= ( > 0.50)
600
= 1 (0.50) = 1 0.6915 = .
c) The nutrition labels often include daily vitamin needs for diets of 2000 Kcal and 2500 Kcal.
What proportion of North Americans fall between this range?
(2000 < < 2500) = (0.5) (0.33)
e) Do you think the Normal model is appropriate for caloric intake? If so, give supporting
evidence. If not, say why it might not be appropriate, and describe an alternative distribution.
