Business Statistics

41. The measures used to calculate the variation present among the observations relative to their average is called:

  1. Coefficient of kurtosis
  2. Absolute measures of dispersion
  3. Quartile deviation
  4. Relative measures of dispersion
Correct answer: (D)
Relative measures of dispersion

42. If there are many extreme scores on all examination, the dispersion is:

  1. Large
  2. Small
  3. Normal
  4. Symmetric
Correct answer: (A)
Large

43. In quality control of manufactured items, the most common measure of dispersion is:

  1. Range
  2. Average deviation
  3. Standard deviation
  4. Quartile deviation
Correct answer: (A)
Range

44. If Y = aX ± b, where a and b are any two numbers and a ∦ 0, then the range of Y values will be:

  1. Range(X)
  2. a range(X) + b
  3. a range(X) - b
  4. ∣a∣ range(X)
Correct answer: (D)
∣a∣ range(X)

45. Which measure of dispersion can be computed in case of open-end classes?

  1. Standard deviation
  2. Range
  3. Quartile deviation
  4. Coefficient of variation
Correct answer: (C)
Quartile deviation

46. If Y = aX ± b, where a and b are any two numbers but a ∦ 0, then M.D(Y) is equal to:

  1. M.D(X)
  2. M.D(X) ± b
  3. ∣a∣ M.D(X)
  4. M.D(Y) + M.D(X)
Correct answer: (C)
∣a∣ M.D(X)

47. If the dispersion is small, the standard deviation is:

  1. Large
  2. Zero
  3. Small
  4. Negative
Correct answer: (C)
Small

48. The standard deviation one distribution dividedly the mean of the distribution and expressing in percentage is called:

  1. Coefficient of Standard deviation
  2. Coefficient of skewness
  3. Coefficient of quartile deviation
  4. Coefficient of variation
Correct answer: (D)
Coefficient of variation

49. If Y = aX + b, where a and b are any two numbers but a ∦ 0, then S.D(Y) is equal to:

  1. S.D(X)
  2. a S.D(X)
  3. ∣a∣ S.D(X)
  4. a S.D(X) + b
Correct answer: (C)
∣a∣ S.D(X)

50. Standard deviation is always calculated from:

  1. Mean
  2. Median
  3. Mode
  4. Lower quartile
Correct answer: (A)
Mean
