University of Toronto Scarborough
STAB22 Midterm Examination
October 2009
For this examination, you are allowed one handwritten letter-sized
sheet of notes (both sides) prepared by you, a non-programmable,
non-communicating calculator, and writing implements.
This question paper has 14 numbered pages; before you start,
check to see that you have all the pages. There is also a signature
sheet at the front and statistical tables at the back.
This examination is multiple choice. Each question has equal
weight. On the Scantron answer sheet, ensure that you enter your
last name, first name (as much of it as fits), and student number
(in “Identification”).
Mark in each case the best answer out of the alternatives given
(which means the numerically closest answer if the answer is a
number and the answer you obtained is not given.)
Before you begin, check that the colour printed on your Scantron
sheet matches the colour of your question paper. If it does not,
get a new Scantron from an invigilator.
Also before you begin, complete the signature sheet, but sign it
only when the invigilator collects it. The signature sheet shows
that you were present at the exam.

(a) The slope must become less
(b) The slope would not change
(c) The correlation must become lower
(d) The slope must become greater
