Statistics and Probability MathCom

This document provides a statistics and probability exam with multiple choice questions covering various topics like hypothesis testing, probability distributions, correlation, and regression analysis. The exam has three sections - easy, average, and difficult rounds - with questions of increasing complexity. The difficult round asks students to calculate test statistics, p-values, and correlation coefficients. The tie breaker questions at the end cover probability concepts like experiments, possible values of random variables, and identifying continuous vs. discrete variables.
