Testing submission date and time : 9.6.2020 10 pm

1.Variables captured by a questionnaire
1. Opinions
2. Behaviour
3. Attributes
4. All of the above
2.An array of data from lowest to highest values with counts and percentages. They are
useful for inspecting the range of responses and their repeated occurrence.
1. Frequency Table
2. Bar Chart
3. Pie Chart
4. None of the above
3.When the variable is measured on an interval-ratio scale and is one with many potential
values, this technique is not particularly informative
1. Frequency Table
2. Bar Chart
3. Pie Chart
4. None of the above
4.The conventional solution for the display of interval-ratio data and when it is possible to
group the variable’s values into intervals we use
1. Frequency Table
2. Histogram
3. Pie Chart
4. None of the above
5.Histograms are useful for
1. Displaying all intervals in a distribution, even those without observed values
2. Examining the shape of the distribution for skewness, kurtosis, and modal pattern
3. Both of the above
4. None of the above
6.The technique of display in Exploratory Data Analysis which uses 5 number summary to
convey detailed picture of a distribution’s main body, tails, and outliers
1. Stem and leaf display
2. Pareto diagram
3. Boxplots
4. Cross tabulation
7.The examination of relationships using categorical variables employs
1. Stem and leaf display
2. Pareto diagram
3. Boxplots
4. Cross tabulation
8. Statistical inference is an application of --------- and it allows us to reason from evidence
found in the sample to conclusions we wish to make about the population.
1. Inductive reasoning
2. Deductive reasoning
3. Circular reasoning
4. None of the above
9. Two major categories of statistical procedures in research are
1. Descriptive statistics and exploratory statistics
2. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics
3. Descriptive statistics and classical statistics
4. Descriptive statistics and Bayesian statistics
10. The purpose of hypothetical testing is
1. To determine the accuracy of your hypotheses due to the fact that you have collected
a sample of data
2. To determine the accuracy of your hypotheses due to the fact that you have collected
data from all elements in the population
3. Both 1 and 2 are correct
4. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect
11. Two approaches to hypothesis testing are
1. Classical statistics and sampling theory approach
2. Classical statistics and Bayesian theory approach
3. Both 1 and 2 incorrect
4. Both 1 and 2 are correct
12. We accept or reject a hypothesis on the basis of sampling information alone
1. Classical statistics approach
2. Bayesian statistics approach
3. Census approach
4. None of the above
13. A difference has statistical significance if there is a good reason to believe
1. The difference does represent random sampling fluctuations
2. The difference does not represent random sampling fluctuations
3. Both 1 and 2 incorrect
4. Both 1 and 2 are correct
14. Research Design includes
1. Data Collection Design
2. Sampling Design
3. Questionnaire Design
4. All of the above
15. In classical tests of significance two kinds of hypotheses are used. They are
1. Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis
2. Null Hypothesis and Relational Hypothesis
3. Null Hypothesis and Descriptive Hypothesis
4. None of the above
16. Null Hypothesis is a statement that
1. There is a difference existing between the parameter and the statistic being compared
to it.
2. There is no difference existing between the parameter and the statistic being
compared to it.
3. It is a statement in a positive form.
4. It gives the reason for the difference between the statistic and the population
parameter
17. The alternative hypothesis can take several forms depending on the objective of the
researchers.
1. Not the same
2. Greater than
3. Less than
4. All of the above
18. In testing hypotheses, adopt this decision rule
1. Take no corrective action if the analysis shows that one cannot reject the null
hypothesis
2. Note the language “cannot reject” rather than “accept” the null hypothesis
3. Both of the above
4. None of the above
19. The alternative hypotheses correspond to
1. Two-tailed or non-directional test
2. One-tailed or directional test
3. The regions of rejection are divided into two tails of the distribution
4. All of the above
20. In our system of justice, the innocence of an indicted person is presumed until proof of
guilt beyond reasonable doubt can be established. In hypothesis testing this is
1. Null hypothesis
2. Alternative hypothesis
 3. Relational hypothesis
4. None of the above
21. Continuation of Q20. Once evidence establishes beyond reasonable doubt that innocence
can no longer be maintained, a just conviction is required. In hypothesis testing this is
1. Null hypothesis
2. Alternative hypothesis
3. Incorrect Decisions or errors are the outcome
4. None of the above
22. When a true null hypothesis is rejected i.e. the innocent person is unjustly convicted
1. Type 1 error
2. Type 2 error
3. Type 3 error
4. Type 4 error
23. When one fails to reject the false null hypothesis i.e. the real convict is acquitted
1. Type 1 error
2. Type 2 error
3. Type 3 error
4. Type 4 error
24. Assume the population mean of high end cars is 50 miles per liter. The standard
deviation of the population is 10 miles per liter, and the size of the sample is 25 vehicles.
Calculate the standard error of the mean (standard deviation of the distribution of sample
means).
25. Testing for statistical significance follows a relatively well-defined pattern. State the six
stage sequence for statistical testing procedures each step explained in brief.
26. Explain the significance of p value used for interpreting the statistical test result.
