In a cumulative frequency graph, how do you estimate the median?
Хариулт(C)
Find the value on the x-axis corresponding to the cumulative frequency that is half the total frequency.
2
What does a steep slope in a cumulative frequency diagram indicate about the data?
Хариулт(A)

If a scatter diagram shows a strong negative correlation, what would you expect to see?
Хариулт(B)
The points forming a clear downward slope.
11
What does it mean if the standard deviation of a dataset is low?
Хариулт(B)
The data points are closely clustered around the mean.
12
What is the range of a dataset, given the smallest value is 10 and the largest value is 50?
13
The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of...

Хариулт(C)
Frequency = Frequency Density * Class Width
22

Хариулт(B)
A value that is significantly different from the other values in a dataset.
23
What measure of central tendency is most resistant to the effects of outliers?
24
What is the primary purpose of a histogram?
Хариулт(B)

25
Which is a more informative way to compare two datasets?
Хариулт(C)

26
Which of the following is represented by the area of each bar in a histogram?
27
What does the term 'skewness' refer to in statistics?
Хариулт(B)
The symmetry of a dataset.
28
What is the 25th percentile also known as?
29
What is the interquartile range?
Хариулт(B)
The difference between the upper and lower quartiles
30
The area of a bar in a histogram represents:
Хариулт(A)
The frequency of the corresponding class interval.
31
If the data is evenly distributed, what will be true about the quartiles in the data?
Хариулт(B)
The distance from Q1 to the median is equal to the distance from the median to Q3.
32
What is the primary use of a cumulative frequency diagram?
Хариулт(C)
To estimate the median and quartiles.
33
What information is typically displayed on the y-axis of a cumulative frequency graph?
34
Which of the following correctly states the relationship between frequency and class width when using a histogram?
Хариулт(C)
Frequency = Frequency Density * Class Width
35
What does the shape of a cumulative frequency graph show?
Хариулт(B)
The spread and skewness of the data.
36
How are the upper and lower quartiles related?
Хариулт(C)
They define the middle 50% of the data.
37
If the line of best fit on a scatter diagram slopes downwards, what type of correlation is indicated?
38
In a survey of 200 people, how many people said that blue was their favorite color?
39
If a data set has many values clustered at the lower end with a few extremely high values, this data is:
40
What is the benefit of using the mode as a measure of central tendency?
Хариулт(D)
It identifies the most frequent value, even with non-numerical data.
41
If the mean is less than the median, what type of skewness is present?
42
If the mean of a dataset is 50 and the median is 60, what can you infer about the data's skewness?
Хариулт(B)
The data is skewed to the left.
43
What does a flat or horizontal portion of a cumulative frequency diagram indicate?
Хариулт(C)
There are no observations in that interval.
44
When the distribution is symmetrical, what can be said about the median and the mean?
