What is the underlying reason of using closed-ended questions rather than open-ended question in many surveys?
Gathering more detailed data |
Obtaining higher response rates |
Being easier to read |
gathering more accurate data |
Making responder think deeper |
In many surveys, closed-ended questions are preferred because close-ended questions lead to obtain higher response rates when responders don’t have to type so much.

What is the arithmetic mean of the following data set with frequency in paranthesis?
25 (3), 35 (3), 45 (2)
32.5 |
35 |
37.5 |
40 |
82.5 |
(25 x 3 + 35 x 3 + 45 x 2) / 8 = 270 / 8 = 32.5

For an observation that results in values 4,2,6,7,3,4,3,5,6,6,3 what is the mode of this group?
3 |
4 |
6 |
3 and 4 |
3 and 6 |
In order to find the mode of this raw data, first, let’s order the data from smallest to largest as follows 2,3,3,3,4,4,5,6,6,6,7
The number 2 is repeated 1 time, 3 is repeated 3 times, 4 is repeated 2 time, 5 is repeated 1 time, 6 is repeated 3 time, 7 is repeated 1 time. Therefore, for this data set, it can be said that there are two modes and these modes are 3 and 6. The answer is E.
6.Soru
I. Most frequent value(s) is the arithmetic mean

Only I |
Only II |
I and II |
I and III |
II and III |
Most frequent value(s) is the mode. Middle number in ordered data by magnitude is the median. Average number of values is the arithmetic mean. The answer is B

What type of data presentation method is described in the sentences below?
- It is useful to determine a vague point for location of center and spread of data.
- It is not useful for large sizes of data.
-
To use this type of slot, one needs to identify the lowest and the highest value of the data set first.

Histogram |
Pie Chart |
Dot plot is almost the easiest of the graphs. It can be drawn by hand easily while collecting data. Dot plot will be very useful when the number of objects in our study is rather small such as up to 50 observations. Dot plot is generally used to investigate univariate (quantitative) data, but sometimes it is used to compare two variables. Essentially a dot plot is a one-dimensional scatterplot of observed values of a variable. In order to create a dot plot one needs to identify the lowest and the highest value of the data set first, then a horizontal axis is drawn and scaled so that it covers the lowest and highest values.

For an observation that results in values 6,7,3,4,3,5,6,6 what is the arithmetic mean of this group?
4 |
4,5 |
5 |
5,5 |
6 |
There are 8 observation in this data set. The sum of all the observation result's values is 6+7+3+4+3+5+6+6 = 40
If we divide this value by the number of observation, which is 8, we will find 40/8 = 5 which is the arithmetic mean of this data set. The answer is C.

- Blood pressure
- A verbal response
- Number of supermarket visits
- Purchased products
- Course grade
Which of the above are statistical variables?
I and V |
I, II and III |
II, IV and V |
I, II, IV and V |
I, II, III, IV and V |
Data come in various forms and are measured in different ways. For example, a doctor measures your blood pressure with an instrument, a survey researcher asks you a question and you give a verbal response, you go on holiday to a particular country, you are at a certain age and have a certain income, you have a grade for a completed university course, or this past week you have gone to the supermarket a certain number of times, and bought a certain basket of products, etc. Blood pressure, question response, country, age, income, course grade, number of supermarket visits and purchased products, these are all statistical variables.
As also understood from the information given, the correct answer is E.

The graph represents the data of the number of vehicles registered in traffic by year. Purple line represents the 2017 data and maroon line represents the 2018 data. According to this graph, which of the following is the month when most vehicles are registered to traffic in 2018?
1 |
2 |
5 |
7 |
10 |
According to graphic, in 2018, during the second month of the year near 60 thousand vehicles, the fifth and seventh month of the year 100 thousand vehicles, and the tenth month of the year near 40 thousand vehicles are registered. However, during the first month near 120 thousand vehicles are registered. Thus, first month of the year is the month that the most vehicles are registered.

Inflation rate, which compares the prices of a basket of products over time, is a _______ variable.
Which of the following correctly fills the blank above?
Interval-scale |
Nominal-scale |
Ratio-scale |
Ordinal-scale |
Categorical-scale |
As a general rule, most data on monetary values and those coming from physical measurements (e.g., lira, gold price, centimeters, and kilograms) are ratio-scale variables.
13.Soru
Which of the followings could be a measure of a ratio scale?
students' ranking in a class |
different classes of same level |
degree of attitude towards science class |
gender of students in a class |
weights of students in a class |
Ratio scales of measurement, in addition to having all properties of the interval scale, have a natural or zero-valued base value that cannot be changed. For example, an individual’s age, weight, height, systolic blood pressure are ratio scale variables because they have natural base value. For example, John and Mary are 20 and 40 years old, respectively. We can say that Mary is two times older than John.
14.Soru
Which of the following is true about relative frequency distribution table?
It could be easier or clearer to interpret the table when using percentage of the frequency |
It provides information of how many observations occurred for each value |
It is more appropriate to use when data set is too large |
It is better to use if measurement is obtained using ratio scale |
It is used to determine the number of elements that falls above or below a particular value |
Interpretation of the frequency distribution table can be easier or clearer when we use the percentage of the frequency.

An employee is given a survey where he is given three options like "Agree", "Undecided", and "Disagree". What type of responses does he need to give?
Close-ended responses |
Ranked responses |
Rated responses |
Multiple responses |
Single responses |
Rated responses generally include three-point, five-point, and seven-point scales. A rating scale should provide more than two options. The mostly used rating scale is five-point Likert (1932) type scale. Likert type scale can be designed in the following forms.
• Strongly Agree - Agree – Undecided / Neutral - Disagree - Strongly Disagree
• Always - Often - Sometimes - Seldom - Never
• Extremely - Very - Moderately - Slightly - Not at all
