    If the occurrence of any event does not depends on other event then the two events are said to be ______

    • Independent

    • Dependent

    • Passive

    • Active

    Correct Answer
    A. Independent
    Explanation
    If the occurrence of any event does not depend on another event, then the two events are said to be independent. This means that the outcome of one event has no influence or impact on the outcome of the other event. In other words, the probability of one event happening does not affect the probability of the other event happening.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the mean of the following data. 10, 20, 30, 55, 60.

    • 35

    • 37

    • 34

    • 40

    Correct Answer
    A. 35
    Explanation
    The mean is calculated by adding up all the values in the data set and then dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the values is 10 + 20 + 30 + 55 + 60 = 175. Since there are 5 values in the data set, the mean is 175/5 = 35.

    Rate this question:

    Quartiles divides the series into ____ equal parts.

    • 4

    • 100

    • 5

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    Quartiles divide a series into four equal parts. Each quartile represents 25% of the data, with the first quartile (Q1) representing the lower 25%, the second quartile (Q2) representing the middle 50% (which is also the median), and the third quartile (Q3) representing the upper 25% of the data. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.

    Rate this question:

    ___________________ is the difference between upper quartile and lower quartile.

    • Interquartile range

    • Range

    • Decile range

    • Quartile

    Correct Answer
    A. Interquartile range
    Explanation
    The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. It is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a dataset, specifically the middle 50% of the data. By subtracting the lower quartile from the upper quartile, we can determine the range of values that fall within this middle range. This range is useful in identifying the variability or spread of the data, while also being less affected by outliers compared to the full range of the data.

    Rate this question:

    Find the mode of the following observations. 22, 24, 20, 23, 21, 19, 23, 22, 20, 22, 20, 22, 23, 25, 21, 21, 22, 24, 23, 22, 23, 21, 22, 21.

    • 22

    • 23

    • 21

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 22
    Explanation
    The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of observations. In this case, the value 22 appears 6 times, which is more than any other value in the set. Therefore, the mode of the given observations is 22.

    Rate this question:

    Sum of all probability distribution is _____

    • 1

    • 2

    • 0

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The sum of all probability distributions in a given set should always equal 1. This is because the total probability of all possible outcomes in an event or experiment should add up to 100% or complete certainty. In this case, the sum of the given probability distribution values is 1, indicating that the probabilities assigned to each outcome cover all possibilities and are consistent with the principles of probability theory.

    _____________ is the difference between two extreme values.

    • Range

    • Middle

    • IQR

    • Average

    Correct Answer
    A. Range
    Explanation
    The range is the difference between the two extreme values in a set of data. It measures the spread or variability of the data. By calculating the difference between the highest and lowest values, we can determine the range of the data set.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    ________________ is the ratio between the number of items and the sum of reciprocals of items.

    • Harmonic mean

    • Mean

    • Median

    • Geometric mean

    Correct Answer
    A. Harmonic mean
    Explanation
    The harmonic mean is the ratio between the number of items and the sum of the reciprocals of the items. It is a measure of central tendency that is used when dealing with rates or ratios. It is calculated by dividing the number of items by the sum of their reciprocals. The harmonic mean is useful when dealing with quantities that have a reciprocal relationship, such as speed and time. It gives more weight to smaller values, making it suitable for situations where extreme values need to be minimized.

    Rate this question:

    ________ is the value of central item which divides the series in equal parts.

    • Median

    • Quantile

    • Percentile

    • Range

    Correct Answer
    A. Median
    Explanation
    The median is the value that divides a series into two equal parts. It is the middle value of a dataset when arranged in ascending or descending order. The median is a measure of central tendency and is useful for finding the typical or average value in a dataset. It is different from the mean, which is affected by extreme values. The median is a good measure to use when there are outliers or when the data is not normally distributed.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The ___________ of a curve is known as kurtosis.

    • Peakness

    • Negative

    • Positive

    • Size

    Correct Answer
    A. Peakness
    Explanation
    Kurtosis is a statistical measure that describes the shape of a distribution. It specifically measures the "peakness" or the degree of peakedness of a curve. A high kurtosis value indicates a sharper, more peaked curve, while a low kurtosis value indicates a flatter, less peaked curve. Therefore, the term "peakness" is a suitable explanation for the given correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    How many permutations of the letters of the word 'REETA' are there?

    • 60

    • 55

    • 50

    • 70

    Correct Answer
    A. 60
    Explanation
    The word "REETA" has 5 letters. To find the number of permutations, we use the formula for permutations of distinct objects, which is n!, where n is the number of objects. In this case, n=5. Therefore, the number of permutations of the letters of the word "REETA" is 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120. However, since the letter 'E' appears twice, we need to divide the total number of permutations by 2 to account for the repeated letter. Therefore, the correct answer is 120/2 = 60.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If the mean of 6, 4, 7, p and 10 is 8 then p = _______

    • 13

    • 12

    • 10

    • 11

    Correct Answer
    A. 13
    Explanation
    To find the value of p, we need to calculate the sum of all the numbers and then subtract the sum of the given numbers (6, 4, 7, and 10) from the total sum. The sum of the given numbers is 27 (6+4+7+10) and the mean is 8. The mean is calculated by dividing the sum by the number of values, so the total sum is 8 multiplied by 5 (the number of values), which is 40. To find p, we subtract the sum of the given numbers (27) from the total sum (40), which gives us 13. Therefore, p = 13.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    If median = 6 and mean = 5 then mode = _______

    • 8

    • 9

    • 10

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. In this case, we are given the median as 6 and the mean as 5. Since the mean is less than the median, it suggests that the data is negatively skewed. Therefore, the mode is likely to be less than both the median and the mean. Among the given options, the only value that is less than 6 is 8. So, the mode is 8.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Find the range for the following data. 80, 90, 59, 63, 61, 67, 65, 99, 75, 89, 84, 86.

    • 40

    • 23

    • 32

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 40
    Explanation
    The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values. In this case, the highest value is 99 and the lowest value is 59. Therefore, the range is 99 - 59 = 40.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Find the median for the following data. 34, 32, 48, 38, 24, 30, 27, 21, 35.

    • 32

    • 34

    • 35

    • 48

    Correct Answer
    A. 32
    Explanation
    The median is the middle value in a set of data when the data is arranged in order. In this case, when the data is arranged in ascending order, we have: 21, 24, 27, 30, 32, 34, 35, 38, 48. The middle value is 32, which is the correct answer.

    In R, to create a vector, we use the c() function. This function allows us to combine multiple elements into a single vector. It is commonly used to create numeric, character, or logical vectors by specifying the elements within the parentheses and separating them with commas.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    3 men and 3 ladies are candidates for two posts. A voter has to vote for 2 candidates. In how many ways can one cast his vote?

    • 15

    • 20

    • 40

    • 60

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    In order to vote for 2 candidates out of a total of 6 (3 men and 3 ladies), the voter can choose any combination of 2 candidates from the total pool. The number of ways to choose 2 candidates out of 6 can be calculated using the formula for combinations, which is nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!). In this case, n = 6 and r = 2. Plugging in these values, we get 6! / (2!(6-2)!) = 6! / (2!4!) = (6x5) / (2x1) = 15. Therefore, there are 15 ways in which one can cast his vote.

    Quartile deviation is obtained by dividing the difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile by _____

    • 2

    • 4

    • 10

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The quartile deviation is obtained by dividing the difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile by 2. This is because the quartile deviation measures the spread or dispersion of data around the median, and dividing by 2 allows for a standardized measure of dispersion. It represents the average amount of deviation from the median, indicating how spread out the data is within the middle 50% of the dataset.
