6 |
Which of the following statements is true. |
As a rule statisticians genereally use between 6 and 15 classes.
As a rule, statisticians regards a frequency distribution incomplete if it has fewer than 20 classes.
Classes describe only one characteristics the data ebign organized
None of these

7 |
Continuous data are differentitated from discrete data in that |
Discrete data classes are represnted by fractions
Continuous data classes may be represented by fractions
Continous data take on only whole numebrs
Discrete data can take on any real number
|
8 |
Graphs of frequency distributions are used because. |
they have a long history in practical applications
They attract attenstion to data pattern
They account for biased or incomplete data
None of thses
|
9 |
A relative frequency distribution presents frequencies in terms of |
Fractions
Whole numbers
Percentages
Both a and c but not b
|
10 |
In constructing a frequency distribution for a sample, the numebr of classes depends on. |
The number of data points
The range of the data colelcted
Teh size of the population
Both a and b but not c

Which of the following statements is true of cumulative frequency polygons or ogives for a particular set of data. |
Both less than and or more curves have the same shape
Or more curves slope up and to the right
Less than curve slope down and to the right
Less than curve slope up and to the right
|
12 |
As the numebr of observations and classes increase, the shape of a frequency polygon. |
Tends to become increasingly asmooth
Tends to become jagged
stays the same
Varies if data become more reliable
|
