PSYC60 Practice Midterm Section B01 & B02 RT

On the Exam, there will be 20 multiple choice questions and a computation section.
Please bring a pencil/eraser and scientific calculator (NO GRAPHING) for the exam.

The following pages are more practice for the upcoming exam, in no way did I create this to represent
actual exam. This is purely for practice-sake.

If there is expressed interest, I will have extra OHs either on Wednesday or Thursday before the exam.

Good luck studying and remember to email me if you have any questions!

Create a grouped, relative, and cumulative relative frequency distribution of the data below.
USE PERCENT NOT PROPORTIONS to make the relative and cumulative relative frequency
distributions. (Use 10 classes)
85, 4, 61, 91, 38, 56, 82, 62, 6, 67, 35, 47, 52, 65, 27, 90, 75, 78, 18, 100, 89, 7, 48, 97, 65

If the mean of a population is 27, and the standard deviation is 3, then a raw score of 15
would give you a Z score of what value?

What Z-score corresponds to the bottom 5.05% of a normal distribution? (draw and shade in
region of interest for all of the appropriate follow questions)

What proportion of the normal curve is below the Z-score of 0.51?

What proportion of the normal curve is between the mean and a Z-score of 0.40?

Before the change to a new system, the distribution of scores on the SAT was approximately
normal with a mean of = 500 and a standard deviation of s = 100.
What proportion of students had a score between 450 and 550?

Approximately 20% of the students had a score that was higher than what value?

Which score corresponds to the 80th percentile?

Determine the least squares regression equation for the data on the previous page.
Then draw the regression line on the scatterplot with your least squares regression equation.

On average, what homework score would you get if you had a test score of 75?

In a group of 100 students, there are 33 freshmen, 20 sophomores, 27 juniors, and 20 seniors.
What is the probability of choosing a freshmen or a senior?

What is the probability of choosing a sophomore and a junior?

If you flip a coin 5 times, then what is the probability that you will NOT get the same result on
every flip?

Assume that among college students:

52% are women
40% have brown eyes
20% are seniors
What is the probability that a randomly selected student will be a man and is not a senior?

In your family inheritance of eye color, there are the probabilities of brown (0.20), blue (.35),
green (0.25), hazel (0.19), and grey (0.01). If a family has two children, what is the probability
of them both having the same eye color?
