    This document contains the instructions and problems for an advanced statistics preliminary examination. It includes 3 problems testing hypothesis testing skills: 1) determining if average annual rainfall over 5 years was significantly different than the overall average of 8 inches, 2) estimating if the number of memes known by professors matches an average of 3 based on student recorded counts, and 3) analyzing if there is a relationship between a person's age and their glucose level based on samples from 7 subjects.

    Preliminary Examination

    Name:____________________ Date:_____________
    Section:___________________ Score: ____________

    General Directions:
    1. Read the problems carefully.
    2. Always BOX your final answer in the computation part of the test.
    3. Complete the steps needed in hypothesis testing.

    I. PROBLEM SOLVING. Compute for the correct hypothesis testing of each of the following items.

    1. Suppose the average annual rainfall for the local area was previously known to be 8 inches. A
    local meteorologist believes there was above average rainfall from 1997 thru 2001 and argues that
    the average annual rainfall during this period was significantly different from the overall average
    annual rainfall of 8 inches. The average annual rainfall recorded from 1997 thru 2001 are given
    below: (20 points)

    Year (Y) 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001


    Rainfall (R) 8 5 7 5 6

    2. Let’s suppose that a student is interesting in estimating how many memes their professors know
    and love. So they go to class, and every time a professor uses a new meme, they write it down.
    And they find out that professors know memes with the average of 3. After a year of classes, the
    student has recorded the following meme counts, where each count corresponds to a single class
    they took:
    3, 7, 11, 0, 7, 0, 4, 5, 6, 2, 12, 6, 4, 5, 7, 5, 12, 14, 14, 4, 0, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 13, 1, 6
    The student talks to some other students who’ve done similar studies and determines that σ=2 is a
    reasonable value for the standard deviation of this distribution. (25 points)

    3. Scientists in China wanted to know if there was a relationship between the age of a person to their
    glucose level. The goal of the research was they want to find out if the Glucose level of a person
    will increase as the age also increases. The results they’ve collected is shown below. (25 points)

    SUBJECT AGE (X) GLUCOSE LEVEL (Y)


    1 43 99

    2 21 65

    3 25 79

    4 42 75

    5 57 87

    6 59 81

    7 42 73
