EXAM 2: Statistics 100
READ THE DIRECTIONS BELOW TWICE!
Cover Sheet Questions
1) What’s your name? _______________________________ ___________________________
(Last name) (First name)
3) Which section are you in? Circle one:
i) L1 (In Person Section) ii) ONL (Online Section)
This test is ALL multiple choice. Circle all answers on this exam and fill in the
corresponding bubble on your orange scantron. All questions have exactly one answer. If
you circle/bubble in more than one answer, you will automatically be marked wrong. Make sure
to circle the answers on this test and fill out your scantron. If you don’t do both, you will get a 0.
SCANTRON Directions
• Print and bubble in your LAST NAME with no spaces starting in the left most column. Print your
FIRST INITIAL in the right-most column.
• Print and bubble in your UIN number in the Student Number box.
• Print and bubble in your NET ID with no spaces in the NETWORK ID box.
• Write Stat 100 on the COURSE line.
• Write your instructor’s name (Karle Flanagan) on the INSTRUCTOR line.
• Write your section (L1 or ONL) on the SECTION line.
• Sign your name, and right underneath the student signature line PRINT your name.
READ THIS: Failure to fill out your scantron correctly will result in a loss of 2 points on your exam!
WARNING- The exams look alike but you are sitting next to people who actually have a different
version than you. Copying from anyone is equivalent to giving a signed confession.
All cheating including being caught with a non-permissible calculator or formula sheet will result in
a 0 and an academic integrity violation on your university record.
Make sure you have all 8 pages including the normal table (76 questions).
There is NO CLASS on Friday this week!
Scores will be posted on Canvas by Friday at 5pm. Students may pick up their exam in 171
Computer Applications Building during office hours next week.
