Instructions: No calculator is allowed for Part I of this exam. Fill in the top part of your
Scantron sheet, including the bubbles for your alpha code and version number. There is room for
your work on this exam. Fill in your answers on the bubble sheet. When you are done with Part I,
hand in your bubble sheet and this exam to your instructor, who will give you Part II. You can
use your calculator for Part II. But you cannot return to Part I.
