This examination is multiple choice. Ensure that you
have a Scantron answer sheet and a #2 pencil, and com-
plete the Scantron sheet according to the instructions
(otherwise your exam may not be marked).
For this examination, you are allowed two letter-sized
sheet of notes (both sides), handwritten and prepared
by you, a non-programmable, non-communicating
calculator, and writing implements.
Each correct answer is worth 1 mark, and each incorrect
answer (and each question for which no answer is given)
is worth 0 marks. There is therefore no penalty for
guessing on this exam.
If your answer is not included in the alternatives given,
mark the answer that is most nearly correct from those
alternatives.
If you need paper for rough work, use the back of the
sheets of this question paper. The question paper will be
collected at the end of the examination, but any writing
on it will not be read or marked.
This examination has 23 numbered pages; before you
start, check to see that you have all the pages. In ad-
dition, tables of the normal, t and binomial distributions
are attached on unnumbered pages at the end.
