Sample Exam Paper for Practice

This is just a sample paper for your practice. It is suggested to perform this after you are done
with you preparation to test yourself how much you can perform in the given duration of time
(2 hours) for the midterm exam. Best of luck! 

Compare the CGPA with Salary at percentiles 25, 50, 78 and 88. How the standard deviation varies at these
percentile values? (Show as area graph)

Question No. 2

Dataset:
X= 33.36, 336.71, 375.25, 327.12, 818.43, 371.18, 218.33, 819.14

a) Verify that data is cleaned from outliers. Justify using a particular plot.
b) What is the frequency distribution of the given dataset (show as bar graph) and what is its
interpretation?
c) Determine the predicted outcome X (taking it as population).

Question No. 3
For the dataset (X) shown below, determine the following

a) Verify that data is cleaned from outliers. Justify using a particular plot.
 b) What is the frequency distribution of the given dataset (show as bar graph) and what is its
interpretation?

Question No. 4
Suppose the mean length of time between submission of a state tax return requesting a refund and the
issuance of the refund is 47 days, with standard deviation 6 days. Find the probability that in a sample of
50 returns requesting a refund, the mean such time will be more than 50 days
