1. The mode of the data: 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Mode is the number that appears most frequently. Here, 5 appears three times, which is more frequent than any other number.
2. If the mean of five numbers is 20, then their sum is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Mean = Sum of numbers/Number of numbers. Thus, 20 = Sum/5, implying Sum = 100.
3. The median of the data: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Median is the middle number when data is arranged in order. Here, 14 is in the middle.
4. The range of the data set: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Range = Highest value – Lowest value = 10 – 2 = 8.
5. The variance of a data set is the:
Answer:
Explanation:
Variance measures the spread between numbers in a data set.
6. A pie chart is used to represent:
Answer:
Explanation:
A pie chart depicts the composition of data in percentage or fraction terms.
7. If the mode is greater than the median, the distribution is said to be:
Answer:
Explanation:
Positive skewness indicates a distribution with a longer right tail.
8. The mode of the data set: 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Both 4 and 5 appear twice, which is more frequent than any other number.
9. Which measure of central tendency is most affected by extreme values?
Answer:
Explanation:
Mean gets influenced by every value in the dataset, including the extreme values.
10. The median of a set of 9 consecutive numbers is 20. The largest number in the set is:
Answer:
Explanation:
With 20 as the median and 9 consecutive numbers, the largest number is 20 + 4 = 24.
11. Which of the following is not a measure of dispersion?
Answer:
Explanation:
Median is a measure of central tendency, not dispersion.
12. In a 'less than' cumulative frequency graph, the highest point indicates:
Answer:
Explanation:
The highest point will represent the sum of all frequencies.
13. A bell-shaped symmetrical curve represents:
Answer:
Explanation:
A bell-shaped curve is characteristic of the normal distribution.
14. The standard deviation is the:
Answer:
Explanation:
Standard deviation is the positive square root of variance.
15. If all the observations in a data set are identical, the variance is:
Answer:
Explanation:
No spread or variation implies a variance of 0.
16. Which graph is suitable for showing the relationship between two variables?
Answer:
Explanation:
A scatter plot displays values for two variables for a set of data.
17. In a positively skewed distribution:
Answer:
Explanation:
In positive skewness, the tail on the right side is longer or fatter.
18. The mid-value of the class 20-30 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Mid-value = (Lower limit + Upper limit)/2 = (20+30)/2 = 25.
19. Which of the following is a bivariate data?
Answer:
Explanation:
Bivariate data involves two different variables.
20. The third quartile is also known as:
Answer:
Explanation:
The third quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the data and is also termed the upper quartile.
