Weighted mean Arithmetic mean Geometric mean Harmonic mean None 3. Median is same as $Q_{1}$ $Q_{2}$ $Q_{3}$ $D_{2}$ None 4. When an observation in the data is zero, then its geometric mean is Negative Positive Zero Cannot be calculated None 5. Which of the following is positional measure? Range Mode Mean deviation Percentiles None 6. The harmonic mean of the numbers 2,3,4 is $\frac{12}{13}$ 12 $\frac{36}{13}$ $\frac{13}{36}$ None 7. The correct relationship among A.M.,G.M.and H.M.is A.M. G.M.≥A.M.≥H.M. H.M.≥G.M.≥A.M. A.M.≥G.M.≥H.M. None 8. The median of 10,14,11,9,8,12,6 is 10 12 14 9 None 9. Harmonic mean is the reciprocal of Median of the values. Geometric mean of the values. Arithmetic mean of the reciprocal of the values. Quartiles of the values. None 10. The best measure of central tendency is Arithmetic mean Harmonic mean Geometric mean Median None 11. Harmonic mean is better than other means if the data are for Speed or rates Heights or lengths. Binary values like 0 and 1. Ratios or proportions. None 12. The events A and B are independent if P$(A\cap B)$ =0 P$(A\cap B)$ = P (A) x P (B) P$(A\cap B)$ = P (A) + P (B) P$(A\cup B)$ = P (A) x P (B) None 13. The mean of the values 11,12,13,14 and 15 is 15 11 12.5 13 None 14. If two events A and B are dependent then the conditional probability of P(B/A) is P(A) P(B/A) $\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$ $ \frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$ P(A) P(A/B) None 15. If median = 45 and its coefficient is 0.25, then the mean deviation about median is 11.25 180 0.0056 45 None 16. The two events A and B are mutually exclusive if P $(A\cap B)$ =0 P $(A\cap B)$ =1 P $(A\cup B)$ =0 P $(A\cup B)$ =1 None 17. If the mean of 1,2,3, …, n is $\frac{6n}{11}$, then the value of n is 10 12 11 13 None 18. The first quartile is also known as median lower quartile mode. third decile None 19. If Q1 = 30 and Q3 = 50, the coefficient of quartile deviation is 20 40 10 25 None 20. The probability of drawing a spade from a pack of card is $\frac{1}{52}$ $\frac{1}{13}$ $\frac{4}{13}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ None 21. Let a sample space of an experiment be S=$\left \{ E_{1}, E_{2}...E_{n} \right \}$, then $\sum_{i=1}^{n} P\left ( E_{1} \right )$ is equal to 0 1 $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ None 22.
