The points forming a clear downward slope.
11
What does it mean if the standard deviation of a dataset is low?
คำตอบ(B)

คำตอบ(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

To display the frequency distribution of continuous data.
25
Which is a more informative way to compare two datasets?
คำตอบ(C)
A back-to-back stem and leaf.
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?
คำตอบ(B)
The symmetry of a dataset.
28
What is the 25th percentile also known as?
29
What is the interquartile range?
คำตอบ(B)
The difference between the upper and lower quartiles
30
The area of a bar in a histogram represents:
คำตอบ(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?
คำตอบ(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?
คำตอบ(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?
คำตอบ(C)
Frequency = Frequency Density * Class Width
35
What does the shape of a cumulative frequency graph show?
คำตอบ(B)
The spread and skewness of the data.
36
How are the upper and lower quartiles related?
คำตอบ(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?
คำตอบ(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?
คำตอบ(B)
The data is skewed to the left.
43
What does a flat or horizontal portion of a cumulative frequency diagram indicate?
คำตอบ(C)
There are no observations in that interval.
