whether business is changing due to a deteriorating economy (which may or may not be good for the
fast-food industry), management has decided to carefully study the figures for the next 8 days. Suppose

Part II: Essay (4 points)

16. A nutritionist randomly divided 15 bicyclists into three groups of five each. Members of the first
group were given vitamin supplements to take with each of their meals over the next 3 weeks. The
second group was instructed to eat a particular type of high-fiber whole-grain cereal for the next
3 weeks. Members of the third group were instructed to eat as they normally do. After the 3-week
period elapsed, the nutritionist had each bicyclist ride 6 miles. The following times were recorded:
Group Time (minutes)
Vitamin 19.1 21.5 19.5 18.1 20.1
Fiber cereal 13.2 13.9 15.4 14.9 14.6
Control group 30.7 29.7 28.9 29.9 28.6
Suppose that the given data verifies the ANOVA assumptions and the level of significance is 5
percent.
(a) Are these data consistent with the hypothesis that neither the vitamin nor the fiber cereal
affects the speed of a bicyclist?
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the mean times between bicyclists of vitamin
group and Fiber cereal group.
(c) Interpret the results of the multiple comparison test using the Fisher’s LSD method.

On the basis of a physical examination and symptoms, a physician assesses the probabilities that a patient
has no tumour, a benign tumour, or a malignant tumour as 0.6, 0.2 and 0.2, respectively. A thermographic
test is subsequently given to the patient. This test gives a negative result with probability 0.9 if there is no
tumour, with probability 0.7 if there is a benign tumour, and with probability 0.2 if there is a malignant
tumour. If a patient has a negative test result, what is the probability that this person has no tumour?

MT2013 - Probability and Statistics - SEMESTER 211

FINAL EXAM
Date: December 12, 2021. Time: 12:00
Duration: 60 minutes
INTRODUCTION:

• You are NOT allowed to use any software/electrical devices during the exam, except your
pocket calculators, printed/written documents, camera and a computer/laptop (for doing the
exam). This means that you are NOT allowed to open any pdf file. The table of statistical
distributions will be provided in the exam.
• You must have your camera to be turned on and show your face during the exam. On your
screen, there must be one big window for BKEX and one small window for Google!Meeting
showing only your face (put at a corner of the screen). You must start recording the screen of
your laptop/computer 5 minutes before the exam begins and keep recording the screen of
your laptop/computer during the exam (use another Google!Meeting for recording). After you
submit your answer and end the exam, you must share your recorded video to all HCMUT
accounts (small resolution, less than 1GB) and post the link to a Google Form, which will be
posted on BKEX.
• Do not round in between steps. Only round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 5.1234)
when you fill in the blank
• You must fill in answer boxes or choose correct answers, then submit your answers on time
(Do not wait until the very last minute). The maximum score: 100 points.
• You are allowed to try only 1 time on each question.
