    If the population consists of a finite number of units its called:

    • Population

    • Sample

    • Number

    Correct Answer
    A. Population
    Explanation
    If the population consists of a finite number of units, it is referred to as a population. In statistics, a population refers to the entire group of individuals or objects that we are interested in studying. This could be the entire population of a country, a specific species of animals, or any other defined group. It is important to distinguish between a population and a sample, as a sample is a subset of the population that is selected for study or analysis. The term "number" in this context does not accurately describe a population, as it is a more general term that can refer to any quantity.

    • Lower limit - Upper limit

    • Lower limit + Upper limit

    Correct Answer
    A. Upper limit - Lower limit
    Explanation
    The classmark is calculated by subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit. This formula gives the range or width of each class interval, which is important in statistical analysis and data representation.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If a number of a random variable is finite then is called

    • Continuous random variable

    • Discrete random variable

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Discrete random variable
    Explanation
    If a number of a random variable is finite, it means that the variable can only take on a finite number of values. In this case, the correct answer is "Discrete random variable" because a discrete random variable can only take on a countable number of distinct values. Continuous random variables, on the other hand, can take on any value within a certain range. Therefore, the given explanation supports the correct answer choice.

    • 2 Equal parts

    • 3 Equal parts

    • 4 Equal parts

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 Equal parts
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2 equal parts because the median is the middle value in a set of numbers when arranged in ascending or descending order. Dividing the set into 2 equal parts ensures that the median falls exactly in the middle, with half of the numbers below it and half above it.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    L1 stands for?

    • Lower limit

    • Upper limit

    • Middle limit

    Correct Answer
    A. Lower limit
    Explanation
    L1 stands for the lower limit. In statistics, the lower limit refers to the smallest value in a given range or interval. It is commonly used in calculations involving confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and data analysis. The lower limit helps define the starting point or boundary of a particular range, providing important information for statistical analysis.

    Q1 stands for?

    • 4 equal parts

    • 2 Equal parts

    • 8 Equal parts

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 equal parts
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4 equal parts because Q1 stands for the first quartile, which is a statistical measure that divides a data set into four equal parts.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    3N/4 for calculating by:

    • First quartile

    • Third quartile

    • Middle quartile

    Correct Answer
    A. Third quartile
    Explanation
    The third quartile is calculated by dividing the number of data points by 4 and multiplying it by 3. This is because the quartiles divide the data into four equal parts, with the third quartile representing the uppermost 25% of the data. Therefore, to find the value of the third quartile, we need to determine the position of the data point that lies at the 75th percentile, which is 3/4 of the total number of data points.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Median is 4 Equal parts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Median is 4 Equal parts" is incorrect. The median is a measure of central tendency that divides a set of data into two equal parts, not four. It is the middle value in a sorted list of numbers or the average of the two middle values if there is an even number of values. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Mode is highest frequency.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the mode is defined as the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It represents the highest frequency or the most common value in the dataset. Therefore, the mode can be considered as the highest frequency.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    The mode is denoted by Ω.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The mode is not denoted by Ω. The mode is a statistical measure that represents the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It is denoted by the symbol "Mo" or simply as "mode". The symbol Ω is commonly used to represent the population in probability theory and statistics, but it is not specifically used to represent the mode. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Standard deviation is denoted by x bar.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Standard deviation is not denoted by x bar. X bar represents the sample mean, not the standard deviation. Standard deviation is typically denoted by the Greek letter sigma (σ) for a population or s for a sample.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Percentiles are divided by 10 Equal parts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Percentiles are divided into 100 equal parts, not 10. Each percentile represents a specific percentage of data points in a distribution. For example, the 50th percentile represents the median, which is the middle value of the data set. The 90th percentile represents the value below which 90% of the data falls. Therefore, the given statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Deciles are divided by 100 Equal parts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Deciles are not divided into 100 equal parts. Instead, they are divided into 10 equal parts. Each decile represents a specific percentile, with the first decile representing the 10th percentile, the second decile representing the 20th percentile, and so on. Therefore, the statement that deciles are divided into 100 equal parts is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Mean is less than the median.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Mean is less than the median" is true. This means that the average value of a set of numbers is lower than the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. This can occur when there are a few extremely high values that pull the mean up, but do not affect the position of the median.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    The mode is calculated by the histogram.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the most frequently occurring value in a dataset. The histogram is a graphical representation of the frequency distribution of the dataset, where the mode corresponds to the highest peak or bar on the histogram. Therefore, it is true that the mode is calculated by the histogram.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Standard deviation is the square root of variance.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data. It is calculated by taking the square root of the variance. Since the variance measures the average squared deviation from the mean, taking the square root of the variance gives us a measure of the average deviation from the mean. Therefore, it is correct to say that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Quartile deviation is the difference between the lower and upper quartile and dividing by 4.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given answer is that quartile deviation is actually calculated by taking the difference between the upper and lower quartiles and dividing it by 2, not 4. Therefore, the statement in the question is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    F stands for frequency.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that in this context, "f" indeed stands for frequency. It is a common convention in various fields, such as physics and mathematics, to use "f" as a variable to represent frequency. Therefore, the statement "f stands for frequency" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Deciles are 10 Equal parts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Deciles are a statistical measure that divides a set of data into 10 equal parts. Each decile represents 10% of the data. Therefore, the statement "Deciles are 10 equal parts" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Calculate mode by histogram.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Calculate mode by histogram" is true. The mode is a statistical measure that represents the most frequently occurring value in a dataset. One common method to calculate the mode is by creating a histogram, which is a graphical representation of the frequency distribution of the data. By examining the histogram, it becomes easier to identify the value or values with the highest frequency, which corresponds to the mode. Therefore, using a histogram is an effective way to calculate the mode.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Range is

    • Maximum- Minimum

    • Minimum- Maximum

    • Maximum

    Correct Answer
    A. Maximum- Minimum
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Maximum- Minimum" because the range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a given set of data. By subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value, we can determine the range, which represents the spread or variation in the data set.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Mean deviation is calculate only on:

    • Mean

    • Mean and mode

    • Mean, Median and Mode

    Correct Answer
    A. Mean
    Explanation
    Mean deviation is calculated only on the mean. It measures the average distance between each data point and the mean. By considering only the mean, the calculation of mean deviation focuses solely on the central tendency of the data set. It does not take into account the median or mode, which represent different aspects of the data's distribution. Therefore, mean deviation is solely based on the mean value.

    Rate this question:

  • 31.

    What is the absolute error?

    • Estimation value – True vale

    • True- Estimation value

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Estimation value – True vale
    Explanation
    The absolute error is calculated by subtracting the true value from the estimation value. It represents the magnitude of the difference between the estimation and the true value, without considering the direction of the error. This value is always positive, as it measures the absolute value of the difference.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    The word statistics is derived from the Latin word:

    • Stats

    • Statis

    • Static

    Correct Answer
    A. Static
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "static." The word "statistics" is derived from the Latin word "staticus," which means "pertaining to standing" or "stationary." This is because statistics involve the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data, which can be seen as a way of understanding the standing or status of a particular phenomenon or population.

    Rate this question:

    • Ungroup data

    • Group data

    • Ungroup and Group

    Correct Answer
    A. Ungroup and Group
    Explanation
    The mean is a measure of central tendency that represents the average value of a set of data. It can be calculated on both ungrouped data (individual values) and grouped data (values that have been categorized into intervals or categories). Therefore, the correct answer is "Ungroup and Group" because the mean can be calculated on both types of data.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Mode is:

    • Positional average

    • Combine average

    • Relative average

    Correct Answer
    A. Positional average
    Explanation
    Positional average is a statistical measure that calculates the average of a set of numbers based on their positions or ranks. It assigns weights to each number based on its position and then calculates the average. This method is useful when the position or rank of each number is important in determining the overall average. In contrast, combine average and relative average are not specific methods of calculating averages and are not commonly used statistical terms.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    Median is calculate on:

    • Middle value data

    • Upper value data

    • Lower value data

    Correct Answer
    A. Middle value data
    Explanation
    The median is calculated based on the middle value data. It is the value that separates the higher half from the lower half of a data set. To find the median, the data is first arranged in ascending order. If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle value. If the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle values. Therefore, the correct answer is "Middle value data."

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    Measures of central tendency means:

    • Characteristics value

    • Average value

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. None of these
    Explanation
    Measures of central tendency refers to statistical measures that represent the center or typical value of a dataset. It includes the mean (average value), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value). Therefore, the correct answer is not "None of these" as measures of central tendency do represent characteristic or average values.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    P4 stands for?

    • 4 percentiles

    • 8 percentiles

    • 100 percentiles

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 percentiles
    Explanation
    P4 stands for 4 percentiles. Percentiles are a way to divide a set of data into equal parts based on their rank or position. In this case, P4 indicates that the data is divided into four equal parts or quartiles. Each quartile represents 25% of the data, with the first quartile (P25) representing the lowest 25%, the second quartile (P50) representing the middle 50%, and so on. Therefore, P4 specifically refers to the fourth quartile, representing the highest 25% of the data.
