D. 71

Solution:
Q1
Solution: C
Standard deviation is a measure of spread.

Q2
Solution: A
If right tail is longer than left tail then distribution is Positively Skewed.

Solution: B
The weight of students in a college/school is a Continuous variable as weights are not always discrete.

Q4
Solution: B

Q5
Solution: A
A cumulative frequency table is one where we accumulate the frequencies as we go through each of the
data values. Therefore, cumulative frequency is always increasing.

Q6
Solution: B
From the dot plot, the students who obtained more than 38 marks are the number of dots on 39, 40 and
42, which is equal to 7.

Q7
Solution: B
The number of values in the interval 110-119 is the number of leaves of the stem 11.
Therefore, most of the heights occur in the interval 130-139.

Q8
Solution: C
Histogram is a graphical record of a set of rectangles.

Q9
Solution: D
Mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data.

Q10
Solution: A
The values on the left are called stems and the values on right are called leaves.

Q11
Solution: A
Standard deviation is a measure of spread.
