Points to Remember:
MCQ
(1 mark each)
1 If the mean of 5 observations is 88, then the sum of the observations is: 1
(a) 400 (b) 440 (c) 88 (d) 83
2 The mode of the following set of data 2, 3, 5, 12, 3, 4, 3, 7, 23, 4, 3, 3 is: 1
(a) 2 (b) 7 (c) 3 (d) 4
3 refers to the value which lies in the middle of the data when arranged in an increasing 1
or decreasing order.
Mode b) Mean c) Average d) Median
4 The mean of first five natural numbers is: 1
(a) 1 b) 2 c) 4 d) 3
5 Find the range of the given data:- 9, 3, 8,2,6,1 1
4 b) 6 c) 8 d) 5
7 Assertion: The median is the middle most value of the set of observations. 1
Reason: If the number of observations is even, there is no median.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for
Assertion
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the reason is false.
(d) Both assertion and reason are false.
8 Assertion: The mode of a set of observations is the observation that occurs most often. 1

Reason: Given set of number 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4

Mode of this data is 2 because it occurs more frequently.
a.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
b.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for
Assertion.
c.) assertion is true but the reason is false.
d.) both assertion and reason are false.
