3. Rachael and Peter are discussing how the mean value and variance affect the distribution graph. As the following graph shows, there are two distributions: A and B
Peter said that the distribution A has fatter tail because its has bigger standard deviation than the distribution B. Rachael's answer is different:she thinks the distribution A has a smaller standard deviation than the distribution B.
Who do you think is right?
a. Peter
b. Rachael
c. None of them are right. Distribution A and Distribution B have the same standard deviation
4. In a bell-shaped distribution, changing ___can make the distribution flatter (i.e. more compressed); and changing ___ can shift the distribution to the left or to the right.
a. Variance, mean
b. Mean, variance
c. Range, standard deviation
d. Mode, range
e. Mean, range
f. Mode, variance
5. A research study found that in one physics class, the correlation between pre-exam and post-exam grades was 0.90. The variance of pre-exam grades was 9 and the variance of post-exam grades was 16. Thus, the variance of the difference between pre-exam and post-exam grades is: (show work)
6. Image that a researcher examined how the people's heights are associated with their salaries. She found that the correlation between heights (measured in inches) and salary range (measured in dollars) was .36. Had she measured the height in cm instead, what would the correlation have been?
a. 0.36
b. 0.036
c. 3.6
d. 0.72
e. 0.18
7. The variance of X is 64 and the variance of y is 36. X and Y are independent. Thus, the sum of the variances between X and Y is: (show work)
8. A research study found that for the new-coming medical students, the correlation between the trail Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) grades and real MCAT grades was 0.60. The variance of pre-exam grades was 81 and the variance of post-exam grades was 100. Thus, the variance of the difference between pre-exam and post-exam grades is: (show work)
9. One of the hallmarks of the scientific method is that it depends on empirical data.
a. True
b. False
10. The best way to code a height measure of 1.8 meters would be to____
a. Have the subject write their height in inches
b. Have the subject record the information how they are comfortable, and then have the researchers convert it over to inches if necessary
c. Leave it as is; the computer understands this notation
11. If you wished to know how long since your subjects had eaten breakfast, it would be better to ask them_____
a. What time they ate their breakfast and what time it is now
b. How many minutes since they ate breakfast
12. The flaw in which a study samples too few observations from a segment of the population is called___
a. Undercoverage bias
b. Survivorship bias
c. Self-selection bias
