    Pictorial representation of data using symbols is known as_____

    • Bar Graph

    • Pictograph

    • Histogram

    • Histograph

    Correct Answer
    A. Pictograph
    Explanation
    A pictograph is a type of graph that uses pictures or symbols to represent data. It is a visual representation of information, where each picture or symbol represents a certain quantity or value. Pictographs are commonly used to display data in a way that is easy to understand and interpret. They are particularly useful when dealing with data that has distinct categories or when comparing different quantities. In a pictograph, the size or number of pictures/symbols represents the corresponding data value, making it a popular choice for presenting information in a visually appealing and accessible manner.

    A bag has 4 red balls and 4 green balls, what is the probability of getting a red ball randomly?

    • 0

    • 1

    • 0.25

    • 0.5

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.5
    Explanation
    The bag contains a total of 8 balls, out of which 4 are red and 4 are green. When picking a ball randomly, there are 8 equally likely outcomes. Since there are 4 red balls, the probability of selecting a red ball is 4/8, which simplifies to 0.5.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    There are 26 cards of Clubs, in playing cards.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because there are actually 13 cards of Clubs in a standard deck of playing cards, not 26. Each suit (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades) consists of 13 cards, including Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    • 0.25

    • 0.50

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.50
    Explanation
    When a coin is flipped in the air, there are two possible outcomes: either it lands on heads or tails. Since there are only two possible outcomes and they are equally likely, the probability of getting a tail is 0.50 or 50%.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Histograms and Histographs are Same.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Histograms and histographs are not the same. A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset, where the data is divided into intervals and the height of each bar represents the frequency or relative frequency of data falling within that interval. On the other hand, a histograph is a bar graph that represents the frequency distribution of a dataset, where the height of each bar represents the frequency of data falling within a specific interval. Therefore, histograms and histographs have similar concepts but differ in terms of the specific way they represent the data.

  • 14. 

    If a die is thrown in air, the probability of getting even numbers is______

    • 0

    • 1

    • 0.5

    • 0.25

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.5
    Explanation
    When a die is thrown in the air, it has six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Out of these six outcomes, three are even numbers (2, 4, 6). Therefore, the probability of getting an even number is 3 out of 6, which can be simplified to 1 out of 2 or 0.5.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The probability of getting an ace is 1/13

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The probability of getting an ace is 1/13 because in a standard deck of 52 playing cards, there are 4 aces (one for each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). Since there are a total of 52 cards and only 4 aces, the probability of drawing an ace is 4/52, which simplifies to 1/13. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    When Two Dice Are Rolled Together, sample space has 6 events.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because when two dice are rolled together, the sample space consists of all possible outcomes, which is the product of the number of outcomes for each individual die. Since each die has 6 possible outcomes, the sample space for rolling two dice together would have 6 x 6 = 36 events.

    What is the probability of rolling a cube and having land as an odd number? - ProProfs

    What is the probability of rolling a cube and having land as an odd number?

    • 0

    • 1/4

    • 1/2

    • 3/4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/2
    Explanation
    The probability of rolling a cube and landing on an odd number is 3 out of 6, since there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of the 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Simplifying 3/6 gives us 1/2, which is the probability of rolling a cube and landing on an odd number.

    A bag has 3 red marbles, 2 blue and 4 yellow. What is the probability of pulling a red?

    • Certain

    • Even

    • Unlikely

    • Likely

    Correct Answer
    A. Unlikely
    Explanation
    The probability of pulling a red marble from the bag is unlikely because there are only 3 red marbles out of a total of 9 marbles in the bag. This means that there are more non-red marbles than red marbles, making it less likely to pull a red marble.

    The difference between the upper class limit and lower class limit of a class interval is called_____

    • Frequency

    • Width

    • Grouping

    • Regrouping

    Correct Answer
    A. Width
    Explanation
    The difference between the upper class limit and lower class limit of a class interval is called the width. It represents the range or span of values within the class interval. For example, if the lower class limit is 10 and the upper class limit is 20, then the width of the class interval is 10. The width is an important measure in data analysis as it helps determine the size of each class interval and the overall distribution of the data.

     A probability near 1 is _______.

    • Even

    • Unlikely

    • Likely

    • Certain

    Correct Answer
    A. Likely
    Explanation
    A probability near 1 means that an event is highly likely to occur. It suggests that there is a high chance or a strong likelihood of the event happening.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Probability of any event is always more than 1.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Probability of any event is always more than 1" is incorrect. Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring, and it is always between 0 and 1. A probability of 0 means the event is impossible, while a probability of 1 means the event is certain to happen. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Probability of a Likely Event is Less than 50%

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Probability of a Likely Event is Less than 50%" is false. This is because the probability of a likely event is usually greater than 50%. In probability theory, the probability of an event is a measure of the likelihood that the event will occur. If an event is likely to occur, it means that there is a higher chance of it happening, and therefore the probability would be greater than 50%.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    A set of all possible outcomes is known as_____

    • List

    • Space

    • Sample Space

    • Event

    Correct Answer
    A. Sample Space
    Explanation
    The set of all possible outcomes in a given experiment or situation is referred to as the sample space. It represents the complete range of potential outcomes that can occur. Each outcome in the sample space is a distinct element, and together they form a comprehensive set of all possible results.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    If 20-30 is the class interval of grouped data, then lower class limit is_____

    • 10

    • 20

    • 30

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    The lower class limit is the smallest value in the class interval. In this case, the class interval is 20-30, so the lower class limit is 20.
