Instructions:

·        Put away all books, papers, and calculators. 

·        Turn off all beepers and cell phones.

·        Read each question carefully and fill in the answer in the space provided.  Answers must be legible or they will be marked incorrect.  If there are multiple answers to choose from, please CIRCLE the correct answer. The question will not be graded at all if there are multiple answers to choose from.

·        When time has run out you will be told to put all pens/pencils down.  Failure to do so will result in point penalization.

·        Be sure to use values as determined by previous problems and do not use values from problems that have not yet been solved per the ordering of the questions.

·        Use cell references whenever possible.

·        Don’t use a $ if NOT copying

·        Only use the functions given.

·        Your answer should update correctly when additional input data is added to the problem or when input data is changed.

·        Your solutions shouldn’t be overly complex.

 

 

TRUE/FALSE. Circle one answer for each (1 pt each = 11 points total)

 

T             F       Names can be assigned to cells and defines a mapping to its absolute address.

T             F       An Excel workbook is made up of multiple worksheets.

T             F       The ROUND function changes the precision of a cell.

T             F       It doesn’t matter what search engine you use when looking up information on the WWW.

T             F       The Excel operators and order of precedence issues are exactly the same ones used in regular math equations.

T             F      The power of Excel is in its ability to automatically update equation results when input values are changed.

T             F       =MAX(A1:A5) yields the same result as =LARGE(A1:A5,1)

T             F       The following is a syntactically valid file path: Z:\Windows\Personal\Lab1.

T             F       Windows Explorer is used to manage your files.

T             F       When using absolute addressing, the $ is used when copying to keep that portion of the cell reference the same.

T             F       The #REF! Excel error value means that a cell reference is not valid.

* For each problem, if multiple answers are given, please CIRCLE the correct answer.

  1. (4 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell G5, which can be copied down and across to I12, to determine the cost of tuition for one 9 month period at PSU based on the number of divisions per 9 months. There are 2 semesters and 3 quarters per 9 month period as given in column F.

=B5*$F5 no additional $ allowed

  1. (4 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell J5, which can be copied down to J12, to determine how much it costs to go to PSU for 4 years (where each “year” is one 9 month period).

=SUM(G5:I5)*4 optional $ on column allowed

  1. (5 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell K5, which can be copied down to K12, to determine, from lowest to highest, where PSU falls with respect to total cost (from the previous problem). NOTE: the number 1 in column K indicates the lowest college cost in this list.

=RANK(J5,J$5:J$12,1) optional $ on column allowed

  1. (6 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell G13, which can be copied across to I13, to determine the average tuition cost for all the colleges on the list rounded to the nearest hundreds place (NOT hundredths place). 

=ROUND(AVERAGE(G5:G12),-2) optional $ on row allowed

  1. (7 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell G14, which can be copied down and across to I16, to determine the lowest tuition cost.

=SMALL(G$5:G$12,$F14) no extra $ allowed

  1. (4 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell L13 to determine the number of colleges on the list.

=COUNT(B5:B12) any numeric column is also accepted i.e. CANNOT used columns A or E; no $ allowed

  1. (6 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell L14, which can be copied down to cell L15, to determine the percent of colleges that are on the “quarter” system.

=COUNTIF(E$5:E$12,K14)/L$13 optional $ on column allowed

  1. (3 pts) The formula in cell L16 is =L14+L15. Explain why the answer in cell L16 is 100%, but the values in cells L14 and L15 add up to 101%.

The 101% is only obtained from the addition of the FORMAT/DISPLAY of L14 and L15; however, the PRECISION/ACTUAL values in these two cells add up to 100% which is why L16 has 100% in it.
