Stat 1000: Questions to help prepare for the Second Midterm in the Cheng book

Published: Wed, 03/13/13

Practise Exams

First of all, make sure you go through the Sample Exams they have posted on Stats Portal. They are the best indication of your upcoming exam.

However, here are some questions from the Smiley Cheng Multiple-Choice Problem Set book for Stat 1000 that is available to purchase at the Book Store. These old exams are well worth taking a look at as you prepare for your second midterm exam on Nov. 10. I go through them in reverse order since the more recent exams are probably more like the questions you will see. Since most of the questions are fine to look at, I will just tell you what questions to omit instead.

But, in the Smiley Cheng book, you can first look at the questions I told you to omit from the midterms when you were preparing for the first midterm exam. Here is the link to the email I sent at that time. Now, be sure to do all the questions I told you to OMIT at that time.

Cheng Questions to Prepare for First Midterm

Note that solutions for these exams are in Appendix C of my Basic Statistics 1 book (midterms are in volume 1, finals are in volumes 2 and 3). If you have an older edition of my book, the solutions to the midterms may be in a different appendix, and you may be missing solutions to the more recent exams.

Try doing two exams in 2 hours maximum to practise your timing. Keep an eye on your time. Do two exams and see how long you took. If it took more than two hours, you know you need to improve.

Treat these as exams. Do not stop for a break, do not use outside aids other than your calculator. If you have trouble, skip the question. Only once you have completed two exams, should you mark yourself and learn from your mistakes.
