SATISTICS MCQ

By Alisha Mahajan
1
 It is the spread between highest and lowest score
1. Standard deviation
2. Range
3. Ratio
4. None
2
 Assertion = The existence of a correlation between 2 vairables can be shown to exist
only when there is variability
 Reason = if one of the variable is constant,with no variability,then the correlation
coefficient is not even defined
3

measure based upon a sample is called

4. None
6
 The level of significance Is the probability of commiting
1. Type 1 error
2. Type 2 error

4. Type 4 error
7
 F test is a
1. Variance test.
2. Probabilty test
3. Factor test
4. None
8
 A good hypothesis should be
1. Precise,specific and consistent with most known facts
2. Formulated in such a way that it can be tested by the data
3. Of limited scope and should not have global significance
4. All of the above
9
 Condition of the application of Z2 test
1. The experimental data(sample observation) must be independent of each other
2. The sample data must be drawn at random from the target population
3. Observations must be greater than 50
4. All
10
 Each data enter in Z2 test is known as
1. Row
2. Column
3. Cell.
4. None of the above
11
 Which of the following Statements are correct
1. If Z2 is zero,it means that the observed and expected frequency completely
coincide
2. The greater the value if Z2 ,the greater it would have discrepancy between
observed and expected frequency
3. The number of degrees of freedom is described as the number of observations
that are free to vary after certain Restrictions have been imposed on the data
4. All.
12
 The most appropriate statistical test for analysis qualitative data is
1. T test
2. Z test
3. Chi square.
4. Anova
13
 F test is used
1. When there are more than two groups
2. To check accuracy of data
3. To check design ofexperiment
4. When analysis of variance is needed,
14
 Coefficient of correlation is a measure of
1. Realtive position
2. Dispersion
3. Relationship
4. Central Tendency
15
 The following measure of central Tendency and despersion are used in ANOVA
1. Mean and standard deviation
2. Mean and variance,
3. Mean standard error
4. Median and standard deviation
16
 The correlation between two variables is said to be perfectly positive.if the value is
equal to
1. Zero
2. -1
3. +1
4. 0.1
17
 Assertion : Parametric test are applied initially

 Reason. : Non parametric test are much less cumbersome to use and easy to
compute
18
1. The values of vairables are presented in vertical bars..
2. The point are plotted and joined with each other….
3. Consist of many levels and presents one or two variables.
4. Consist of bars drawn either vertically or horizontally…
 Line graph
 Bar diagram

 Histogram

 Pyramid
19
 Steps in correlation
1. Determine two variables
2. Variable X and Y are plotted on X axis and Y axie in XY – plane
3. Then correlation is determined by seeing the scatter diagram
20
 Which of following is are included under the characteristics of useful hypothesis?
1. Clarity
2. Emporicism
3. Specificity
4. All.
21
 Normal distribution
1. Normal distribution was discovered by English mathematician D Moivre
2. Rediscovered and applied in science,both natural and social and in parochial affairs
by Laplace
3. Normal distribution was extensively developed and utilised by Corl Caus
(tell the correct sequence )
22
 If a construction company claims that 40% of all residence being built are 2 bedroom
homes,the null hypothesis is
1. Ho = 0.4
2. H0 = 0.6
3. H1 = 0.4
4. H2 = 0.6
23

2. Accepted
3. Both a and B
4. Neither a nor b
24
 To test significant difference of 2 sets of related variables ,we apply
1. F test
2. T test.
3. Both a and b
4. None
