Basic Statistics Assignment
Part I: True or false
1. Event is a set consisting of all possible outcomes of an experiment
2. Independent events are events which cannot happen at the same time.
3. The entire collection of data in the population is called sample survey.
4. One of the statistical measures used to compare group variability data set having
differentmeasurement units is the standard score.
5. An arrangement of n objects without regard to order is called permutation.
6. In random sampling technique the choice of individuals for a sample depends on the basis of
convenience, personal choice or interest.
Part II: Multiple choices
1. Which one of the following is not TRUE about the properties of mean
A. It is not unique
B. It is easy to understand and compute
C. It makes use of every value in the distribution
D. It can be distorted by extreme values
2. A class of 25 students took Introduction to Statistics examination. 10 students had an
average of score of 80; the other students had an average of score of 60. What is the
average score of both classes? A. 72 B. 88 C. 69D. 79 E. None
3. If all values in a dataset are multiplied by 3, what happens to the mean?
A. It remains the same B. It is divided by 3 C. It is multiplied by 3 D. It increases by 3
4. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The 10th percentile represents the value below which 90% of the data falls
B. The 2nd quartile represents the value below which 50% of the data falls
C. C) The median is always equal to the 75th percentile
D. D) The 25th percentile is always greater than the 50th percentile
5. If the data set has a large spread, what is the expected relationship between the mean and the
standard deviation? A) A higher mean will always result in a higher standard deviation. B)
The mean and standard deviation are not related.
C) The mean and standard deviation are inversely proportional.
D) A higher standard deviation suggests a larger spread from the mean.
6. What is the relationship between variance and standard deviation?
A. Variance is the square of the standard deviation
B. Standard deviation is the square of the variance
C. Variance is the square root of the standard deviation
D. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance
