,Section A - Probability AND Probability Distributions
Q1.
Let X have a standard normal distribution. Which of the following correctly characterizes
the distribution of Y = (X), where is the standard normal CDF?
A. Y follows a standard normal distribution B. Y follows a uniform distribution on (0,1)
C. Y follows a log-normal distribution D. Y follows a beta distribution with
parameters (0.5,0.5)
Correct: B - Y follows a uniform distribution on (0,1)
Rationale:For any continuous random variable X with CDF F, the transformation F(X) yields a
uniform distribution on (0,1). This is the probability integral transform. Since is the CDF of a
standard normal, (X) ~ Uniform(0,1). Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe
other distributions that do not result from this transformation.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. The probability integral transform does not preserve normality; it yields a uniform
distribution.
C. Log-normal arises from exponentiating a normal variable, not from applying its CDF.
D. The beta(0.5,0.5) distribution is not the result of applying a CDF to its own variable.

Q2.
In a multiple linear regression, you add a predictor that is orthogonal to all existing
predictors. Which of the following effects on the coefficient estimates and their standard
errors is guaranteed?
A. Existing coefficients change, and their B. Existing coefficients remain unchanged,
standard errors increase and their standard errors remain unchanged
C. Existing coefficients remain unchanged, D. Existing coefficients change, but their
but their standard errors decrease standard errors remain unchanged
Correct: B - Existing coefficients remain unchanged, and their standard errors remain
unchanged
Rationale:In ordinary least squares, if a new predictor is orthogonal to the existing design
columns, the estimates of the original coefficients are unchanged because the new column
adds no information to the estimation of the existing coefficients. Similarly, the
variance-covariance matrix of the original coefficients is unaffected because the
cross-product terms are zero, leaving the standard errors unchanged.
Why the other answers are wrong:

, Section A - Probability AND Probability Distributions
A. Orthogonality ensures no change in existing coefficients or their standard errors.
C. Standard errors do not decrease because the new predictor is orthogonal and does not reduce residual variance.
D. Coefficients do not change under orthogonality.

Q3.
You are conducting a Bayesian analysis with a prior that is conjugate to the likelihood.
Which statement about the posterior distribution is correct?
A. The posterior distribution must be proper B. The posterior distribution has the same
even if the prior is improper functional form as the prior, but with updated
parameters
C. The posterior distribution is always the D. The posterior distribution is independent
same as the likelihood function of the prior if the sample size is large
Correct: B - The posterior distribution has the same functional form as the prior, but with
updated parameters
Rationale:A conjugate prior ensures that the posterior distribution belongs to the same family
as the prior, with parameters updated by the data. This is the definition of conjugacy. Option A
is false because an improper prior can lead to an improper posterior. Option C is false
because the posterior combines prior and likelihood. Option D is false because the posterior
always depends on the prior, though its influence diminishes with large samples.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Improper priors can yield improper posteriors in some cases.
C. The posterior is proportional to prior times likelihood, not the likelihood alone.
D. The posterior always depends on the prior, even asymptotically.

Q4.
Which of the following is a key advantage of the bootstrap method over traditional
parametric inference when the sampling distribution is unknown?
A. It requires a larger sample size than B. It provides exact p-values without any
parametric methods assumptions
C. It approximates the sampling distribution D. It always yields narrower confidence
by resampling from the observed data intervals than parametric methods
Correct: C - It approximates the sampling distribution by resampling from the observed
data
