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
|
2 |
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
|
3 |
A relative frequency distribution presents frequencies in terms of |
Fractions
Whole numbers
Percentages
Both a and c but not b
|
4 |
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
|
5 |
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
|
6 |
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
|
7 |
when constructing a frequency distribution, the first step is. |
Divide the data into at least five classes
arrange the dta into an array
Decide on the type and number of classes for dividing the data
None of these
|
8 |

|
11 |
If a curve can be divided into two parts that are marror images,it is called a. |
Skewed curve
Symmetrical curve

Italic and lower case letters
Twenty letters
|
13 |
An Ogive is a |
Frequency curve
Frequency polygon
Cumulative frequency polygon
Frequency histogram
|
14 |
Classification of data according to locations or areas is called. |
Temporal classification

Qualitative classification
Quantitative classification
|
15 |
Two methods of data arrangement are |
Array and frequency distribution
Frequency distribution and histogram
Array and frequency polygon
Histogram and array
|
16 |
As a general rule, when arranging data statisticians tend to use. |
Less than six classes
Between six and fifteen classes
Only fifteen classes
More than twenty classes
|
17 |
Data which have been arranged in ascending or descending order are called. |
Raw data
Grouped data
Arrayed data
Un grouped data
