Chamberlain MATH 225N Statistics Final Exam – Full 70 Questions with Verified Answers
& Rationale
1. A nurse researcher collects the systolic blood pressure of 50 patients. The mean is 120
mmHg and the standard deviation is 15 mmHg. Assuming a normal distribution,
approximately what percentage of patients have systolic BP between 105 and 135 mmHg?
A. 50%
B. 68%
C. 95%
D. 99.7%
Rationale: 105 and 135 are one standard deviation below and above the mean (120 ± 15). In a normal
distribution, ~68% of data falls within ±1 SD (Empirical Rule).
2. Which measure of central tendency is most appropriate for skewed data?
A. Mean
B. Median
C. Mode
D. Range
Rationale: The median is resistant to outliers and skewness, making it the best measure of center for
non-symmetric distributions (e.g., income, hospital length of stay).
3. A histogram of patient wait times is right-skewed. What is true about the mean and
median?
A. Mean = Median
, B. Mean > Median
C. Mean < Median
D. Cannot be determined
Rationale: In a right-skewed (positively skewed) distribution, the mean is pulled toward the tail, so
Mean > Median.
4. What does a z-score of -1.5 indicate?
A. The value is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean
B. The value is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean
C. The value is the mean
D. The value is an outlier
Rationale: A z-score = (X - μ) / σ. A negative z-score means the value is below the mean. -1.5 = 1.5 SD
below.
5. In a study of 200 nurses, 120 reported using EHRs daily. What is the sample proportion?
A. 0.40
B. 0.60
C. 1.67
D. 80
Rationale: Sample proportion (p̂) = x / n = = 0.60.
6. Which graph is best for displaying the relationship between two quantitative variables?
A. Bar chart
B. Scatterplot
C. Pie chart
D. Histogram
