Set 1:

Q 1.

Name the two chief sources of randomness that are characteristic of social science research.

Q 2.

Consider the following 100 results from a recent class test in the School of Computer Science
in four rows:

[1] 0 4 8 12 12 12 12 12 16 16 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 24 24 24 24 24 24 24
[26] 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 36 36 36 36 36 36 40 40
[51] 40 40 40 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 48 48 48 48 52 52 52 52 52 52
[76] 52 52 56 56 56 56 60 60 60 60 60 60 64 64 64 64 64 64 76 76 80 84 92 92 92

(a) What are the quartiles for this dataset?

(b) What other statistical information about the dataset would be of interest, given that the
numbers refer to marks on a class test?

Q 3.

What does the Central Limit Theorem say?

Q 4.

To test the hypothesis that eating fish makes one smarter, a random sample of 12 persons take
a fish oil supplement for one year and then are given an IQ test. Here are the results:

116 111 101 120 99 94 106 115 107 101 110 92

Test using the following hypotheses, report the test statistic with the P-value, then summarize
your conclusion.

H0: μ = 100, Ha: μ > 100
