You have 2 hours to complete this exam. You can only use your own calculator , 3 pages formulas (front
and back can be used) and t, z, chisquare, F tables. There is penalty of 5 pt. if you separate your exam
with any reason.
There are 25 questions (100 pts. total) and there is no partial credit on this exam.
If you did not mark your final answer on your scantron, your answer will be counted incorrect.
If you caught cheating, you will get a grade of zero. Good Luck.

In large classes instructors sometimes use different forms of an examination. When average scores for
different forms are calculated, students who received the form with the lowest average score complain that
their examination was more difficult than the others. Analysis of variance can help determine whether the
variation in mean scores is larger than would be expected by chance. The following data is used for the
analysis
Form sample size sample mean sample standard deviation
