Q.1 Choose the correct option 14
The measurement of mean value is listed below
The raw score Central tendency
The range Standard deviation
The total of all the observations divided by the number of observations is
called
Arithmetic mean Geometric mean
Median Harmonic mean
A measurement that corresponds to largest frequency in a set of data is
called
Mean Median
Mode Percentile
Cumulative frequency
Running total of frequency
Running total of individual items
Running total of individual items plus frequency
None of these
Discrete series of data means
Items come individually
Items come with their corresponding frequency
All the class intervals along with their corresponding
None of these
Standard Deviation is denoted by
Small Capital
Σ Σ
If the mean is 25 and standard deviation is 5 then C.V (co-efficient of
variance) is
100% 25%
20% None of these
Range is difference between
Maximum Value Minimum Value
Maximum Value Minimum Value
Minimum Value Maximum Value
None of these
Coefficient of standard Deviation
10) The sum of the deviation about the mean is always
Range Zero
Total standard deviation None of these
11) The strength of the correlation between a set of independent variables
and a dependent variable y is measured by
Co-efficient of correlation Co-efficient of determination
Standard error of estimate All of the above
12) The value of coefficient of correlation lies between
0 to 1 0 to
to 1 1 to -10
13) Regression analysis
Establish a relation between two variable
Establishes causes and effect
Measure the growth
Measures the demand for a good
14) A co-efficient of correlation is computed to be -0.90 means that
The relationship between two variables is weak
The relationship between two variable is strong and positive
The relationship between variable is strong, but negative
Correlation co-efficient cannot have this value
