    This document contains a mock assessment for various biostatistics and statistics courses with multiple choice and written answer questions. Question 1(a) asks students to analyze and compare box-and-whisker plots of time spent checking email by two employees, and determine which has more consistent times. Part (b) involves interpreting a scatter plot and calculating the correlation coefficient and line of best fit. Part (c) uses a linear regression model to predict serum cotinine levels from daily cigarettes smoked.

    Q1 Answer
    Q1. (a) Two employees, Meng and Sarah check their email once a day. Mark
    The diagram below give the box-and-whisker plots of the time
    they spent on checking their emails for each of the 15 randomly
    selected working days.

    Sarah

    Meng

    (i) Based on the box-and-whisker plots above, describe and compare 3M


    the data set of Meng and Sarah.
    Solution:
     Meng generally took longer time on checking the emails
    than Sarah.
     There are no outliers on the time Sarah spent to check her
    email but there is outlier in Meng.
     Interquartile range of the time Sarah spent on checking the
    email is less that the interquartile range of Meng.

    (ii) Which central tendency measurement, mean or median, is 3M


    appropriated for data set of Meng. Explain your answer.
    Solution:
    Median is more appropriate for the data set of Meng since there is
    an outlier. Mean is more influenced by the outlier.

    (iii) If the mean and standard deviation of the time Meng spent on 4M
    checking his email are 21 min and 15 min, respectively. Whereas,
    the mean and standard deviation for Sarah are 32 min and 5 min,
    respectively. Identify which employee is relatively more
    consistent in the time spent on checking their emails. Explain your
    answer.
    Solution:

    Coefficient of variation of Meng is

    Coefficient of variation of Sarah is

    Sarah is more consistent in the time spent on checking her email


    since the value of coefficient of variation is smaller compared to
    Meng.
    Q1. (b) 4M
    𝟎 𝟎𝟖 𝑅

    𝟎 𝟗𝟎 𝐹
    𝑅′
    𝑹
    𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝟎 𝟗𝟓
    𝑴

    𝑅′

    ( )

    (c)(i) 3M

    There is a strong positive linear relationship

    (ii) ̂ 5M

    Interpretation

    When there is not smoking in a day, the


    concentration of serum cotinine is expected to
    be 47.982 ng/L, on the average.

    When the average number of cigarettes


    smoked in a day increases by one unit, the
    concentration of serum cotinine is expected to
    increase by 15.102 ng/L, on the average.

    (iii) The value 48 is around 47.9817, indicates the cotinine level when 3M
    number of cigarette smoked is 0. Hence, the upper bound of 68 is
    used to determine.

    ( )

    Hence, the light smoker is a person who smokes 1.326 cigarette


    and below
