    The document provides instructions for a statistical methods examination consisting of 4 questions. Question 1 involves describing hypothesis testing steps, graphically representing age category data, and explaining factors influencing correlation coefficients. Question 2 distinguishes between data/variance and parameter/statistic, determines mode and standard deviation from frequency tables, and calculates and interprets a product moment correlation coefficient. Question 3 tests hypotheses about independence of color preference and gender and difference in means between control and experimental groups. Question 4 highlights features of the t distribution, determines a value from tables, and tests a hypothesis about differences among groups.
