Final Exam Friday May 9, 9 a.m. in FA110. Bring a pencil and
a calculator. The exam will be similar in format to the
midterm. There will be two pages of statistical questions
followed by approximately 50 multiple choice items. It will cover
the entire semester. The multiple choice questions will be
similar to those we have had on the weekly exams. The best
way to review is probably to read the summaries at the end of each
chapter of the book and to try the sample items in the Optional Review for the Final Exam
in SAKAI. When you don't understand something in the review, look
it up in the book. There is also an Optional Statistics Review Exam.
These review exams are not for credit, they are for review. When
you take them, the software will give you the correct answers.
The Statistics we need to know are summarized on the statistics
review sheet. You should be able to:
Compute descriptive statistics for continuous
distributions: mean, median, mode, standard deviation,
range. (explained
here; practice
items here; answers
to the practice items here).
Compute row percents, column percents, total
percents for cross-tabulation tables. (explained on the WEB Page
for Week Five, scroll down). We will not do expected
frequencies.
Compute margins of error for percentages and mean
scores and the sample size required to obtain a desired margin of
error (explained
here)
Use a regression equation to compute a
predicted dependent variable from a value for an independent
variable. This was part of the Excel
Regression assignment. An example is below
