Explanation

The given observations are,

$1,2,3,4,5,6,7$

Number of observations

$=7$

$Q_i=\left\{i.\left(\dfrac{N+1}{4}\right)\right\}^{th}term$

$Q_1=\left\{1.\left(\dfrac{7+1}{4}\right)\right\}^{th}term$

$Q_1=2^{nd}term$

$\therefore$

$Q_1=2$

$Q_2=\left\{2.\left(\dfrac{7+1}{4}\right)\right\}^{th}term$

$Q_2=4^{th}term$

$\therefore$

$Q_2=4$

If the median of the data

$6,7,x-2,x,18,21$ written in ascending order is

$16$ , then the variance of the data is

0%
$30\dfrac{1}{5}$
0%
$31\dfrac{1}{3}$
0%
$32\dfrac{1}{2}$
0%
$33\dfrac{1}{3}$

Explanation

The given observations are,

$6,7,x-2,x,18,21$

Number of observations

$(n)=6$ [ even ]

$\Rightarrow$

$Median=\dfrac{3^{rd}obs+4^{th}obs}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$

$16=\dfrac{x-2+x}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$

$32=x-2+x$

$\Rightarrow$

$32=2x-2$

$\Rightarrow$

$34=2x$

$\therefore$

$x=17$

$\therefore$ The observations becomes,

$6,7,15,17,18,21$

$\overline{x}=\dfrac{6+7+15+17+18+21}{6}=\dfrac{84}{6}=14$

$Variance(\sigma^2)=\dfrac{(6-14)^2+(7-14)^2+(15-14)^2+(17-14)^2+(18-14)^2+(21-14)^2}{6}$

$=\dfrac{(-8)^2+(-7)^2+(1)^2+(3)^2+(4)^2+(7)^2}{6}$

$=\dfrac{64+49+1+9+16+49}{6}$

$=\dfrac{188}{6}$

$=\dfrac{94}{3}$

$=31\dfrac{1}{3}$

The arithmetic mean of the observations

$10,8,5,a,b$ is

$6$ and their variance is

$6.8$ , then

$ab=$

0%
$6$
0%
$4$
0%
$3$
0%
$12$

Explanation

$\Rightarrow$ Given observations are

$a,\,b,\,8,\,5,\,10$

According to the question,

$\Rightarrow$

$6.8=\dfrac{(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2+(6-8)^2+(6-5)^2+(6-10)^2}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$

$6.8\times 5=(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2+4+1+16$

$\Rightarrow$

$(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2=34-21$

$\Rightarrow$

$(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2=13$

$\Rightarrow$

$(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2=9+4$

$\Rightarrow$

$(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2=(3)^2+(2)^2$

$\Rightarrow$

$(6-a)^2=(3)^2$ and

$(6-b)^2=(2)^2$

$\Rightarrow$

$6-a=3$ and

$6-b=2$

$\therefore$

$a=3$ and

$b=4$

$\Rightarrow$

$ab=(3)(4)=12$

The mean and standard deviation of random variable

$X$ are

$10$ and

$5$ respectively, then

$E\left (\dfrac {X - 15}{5}\right )^{2} =$ _______.

0%
$4$
0%
$3$
0%
$2$
0%
$5$

Explanation

Mean

$=10$ and standard deviation

$=5$

So, variance

$(v) = 5^{2} = 25$

$\therefore E (x)^{2} = 25 + 10^{2} = 125$

$\therefore E\left (\dfrac {x^{2} + 225 - 30x}{25}\right ) = \dfrac {1}{25} (E(x)^{2} + 225 - 30E(x))=2$

$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {({x_i} - 8) = 9}$ and

$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{{({x_i} - 8)}^2} = 45}$ , then standard deviation of

${x_1},{x_2},...,{x_{18}}$ is

0%
$\dfrac{4}{9}$
0%
$\dfrac{9}{4}$
0%
$\dfrac{3}{2}$
0%
$\dfrac{3}{4}$

Explanation

Given: $\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {\left( {x_i - 8} \right) = 9}$

$\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{{\left( {x_i - 8} \right)}^2} = 45}$

Let $X$ be a random variable taking values ${x_1},........{x_{18.}}$

Then $X-8$ has the values ${x_1} - 8,....,{x_{18}} - 8.$

Now, $E\left( {X - 8} \right) =\displaystyle {{\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {\left( {x_i - 8} \right)} } \over {18}}$

$= \displaystyle{9 \over {18}} = {1 \over 2}$

And $E\left[ {{{\left( {X - 8} \right)}^2}} \right] = \displaystyle{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{{\left( {x_i - 8} \right)}^2}} } \over {18}}$

$=\displaystyle {{45} \over {18}} = {5 \over 2}$

Thus, $Var\left( {X - 8} \right) = E\left[ {{{\left( {X - 8} \right)}^2}} \right] - \left[ {E{{\left( {X - 8} \right)}}} \right]^2$

$=\displaystyle {5 \over 2} - {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^2}$

$= \displaystyle{5 \over 2} - {1 \over 4}$

$= \displaystyle{9 \over 4}$

We know $Var\left( {1.X - 8} \right) = {1^2}Var\left( X \right)$ , thus,

$Var\left( X \right) = \displaystyle{9 \over 4}$

Standard deviation of $X = \sqrt {Var\left( X \right)}$

$= \displaystyle\sqrt {{9 \over 4}} = {3 \over 2}$

The horizontal line in a bar graph is called:

0%
$x$ -axis
0%
$y$ -axis

None of these

Explanation

In the Cartesian coordinate system, the horizontal reference line is called

$x$ -axis.

Therefore, the horizontal line in a bar graph is called

$x$ -axis.

Hence, option

$A$ is correct.

$\displaystyle \sum _{ r=1 }^{ 9 }{ \left( { x }_{ 1 }-5 \right) } =9$ and

$\displaystyle \sum _{ r=1 }^{ 9 }{ \left( { x }_{ 1 }-5 \right) ^{ 2 } } =45$ then the standard deviation of the

$9$ items

$x_{1},x_{2}....x_{9}$ is:

Coefficient of skewnwss for the value

$Median = 18.8,{Q_1} = 14.6,{Q_3} = 25.2$ is

0%
$0.2$
0%
$0.5$
0%
$0.7$
0%
None

Explanation

$\Rightarrow$ Given data :

$M_d=18.8,Q_1=14.6,Q_3=25.2$

The coefficient of skewness based on quartile is known as Bowley's coefficient of skewness is given by

$S_k(B)=\dfrac{Q_3+Q_1-2M_d}{Q_3-Q_1}$

$=\dfrac{25.2+14.6-(2\times 18.8)}{25.2-14.6}$

$=\dfrac{39.8-37.6}{10.6}$

$=\dfrac{2.2}{10.6}$

$=0.2$

Solve:

$\log_5 \dfrac{(25)^4}{\sqrt{625}}$

0%
$4$
0%
$5$
0%
$6$
0%
$7$

Explanation

We have,

$\log_5 \dfrac{(25)^4}{\sqrt{625}}$

$\Rightarrow \log_5 \dfrac{(25)^4}{(25)}$

$\Rightarrow \log_5 (25)^3$

$\Rightarrow \log_5 5^6$

$\Rightarrow 6\log_5 5$

$\therefore \log m^n=n\log m$

$\Rightarrow 6\times 1$

$\therefore \log_a a=1$

$\Rightarrow 6$

Hence, this is the answer.

$Variance=\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{10}$

$=\dfrac{(6-15)^2+(8-15)^2+(10-15)^2+(12-15)^2+(14-15)^2+(16-15)^2+(18-15)^2+(20-15)^2+(22-15)^2+(24-15)^2}{10}$

$=\dfrac{(-9)^2+(-7)^2+(-5)^2+(-3)^2+(-1)^2+(1)^2+(3)^2+(5)^2+(7)^2+(9)^2}{10}$

$=\dfrac{81+49+25+9+1+1+9+25+49+81}{10}$

$=\dfrac{330}{10}$

$=33$

$\therefore$ Variance

$=33$

State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
In a bar graph, width of a bar has no significance. It is only for eye attraction.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

We know,

A bar graph is a graphical representation of data using bars of equal width drawn vertically or horizontally with equal spacing between them and different heights.

But, width of a bar do not have any significance and is only for eye attraction.

Hence, the statement is true.

Therefore, option

$A$ is correct.

State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
In a bar graph, bars can be drawn either vertically or horizontally.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

We know,

A bar graph is a graphical representation of data using bars of equal width drawn vertically or horizontally with equal spacing between them and different heights.

Then clearly, in a bar graph, bars can be drawn either vertically or horizontally.

That is, the statement is true and option

$A$ is correct.
