Which of the following is not true about the dot plot?
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. |
If there are repeating observations (multiple occurrences), the dots are stacked up vertically. |
Dot plots tend to be useful to determine a vague point for location of center. |
Dot plot will be very useful when working with large number of observations. |
Dot plot will be very useful when the number of objects in our study is rather small such as up to 50 observations. It is especially easy to identify the distribution of a set of data from a dot plot for small and moderate sample sizes. A dot plot is generally not useful for large sizes of data as it may not be possible to display all of the individual values with large datasets.

Geometric mean is found by the formula GM=(x1x2x3....xn)1/n . So in this case
GM=(6*8*9*16*36)1/5=12

The graphic above shows the frequency distribution of five continents being visited by 15 people.
What kind of a graphic is used to show the frequency distribution in the figure above?
Pie chart |
Line chart |
Scatter plot |
Bar Chart |
Dot plot |
The pie chart of the continent data is shown in the figure above. As it can be seen from the figure, each slice of pie chart corresponds to a continent, showing a percentage of people who travelled to this continent.The figure 3.13a illustrates each slice coloured differently in a two dimensional space. The correct option is A.

Your body temperature changes through exercises.
What type of variable is it?
A textual variable |
A continuous interval-scale variable |
An ordinal categorical variable |
A nominal categorical variable |
A continuous ratio-scale variable |
There is no absolute zero in the temperature measurements. So body temperature is a continuous interval-scale variable.

Grouped Bar Chart |
Stacked Bar Chart |
Simple Bar Chart |
Horizontal Bar chart |
Vertical Bar Chart |
The stacked bar chart is a bar chart where each bar is divided into subgroups proportional to the contribution a subgroup makes to associated bar.

Which of the following variable is an example of interval scale?
Hours of sleep |
Inflation rate |
Income group |
Exam grade |
Educational level |
The other main type of data is called continuous, or quantitative, for example data on variables “blood pressure”, “age” and “income”. These are observations of variables on continuous scales, usually rounded in some convenient way. For example, although age is a continuous time variable, and we are getting older all the time by seconds, minutes and hours, someone’s age is almost always rounded to the number of years completed. There is a subtle difference between interval-scale and ratio-scale continuous data, which is worth mentioning here. Other measures of time are interval-scale variables, for example hours of sleep (on Sundays I sleep an hour longer - I would not say I sleep 14% longer).

Widespread social media platforms you visit everyday are gathering information about your profile, friends, tendencies, behaviors and so. What are they working on?
Identity theft |
Security |

When it comes to Data Science, however, the term does have some different meaning. Data Science is a field that includes Statistics as well as areas such as Computer Science, Database Management and Data Visualization, for example, and has come into being mainly as a result of the spectacular growth in the amount of available data in this new information world that we live in. The need has been recognized for someone who not only has statistical skills, but also advanced programming skills and knowledge about handling huge data sets, the so-called “Big Data” of today.

The chart below shows the relation between humidity and temperature for a certain period of time. What type of relationship is there between temperature and humidity on the days the data recorded according to this chart?
Both the humidity and temperature are increasing. |
Both the humidity and temperature are decreasing. |
While the temperature is decreasing and humidity is increasing. |
There is a positive correlation between humidity and temperature. |
There is no correlation between humidity and temperature. |
In this figure, the scattered data points indicate a negative correlation between two sets of data, here the values of y-axis are decreasing but as it decrease the values of the y-axis variable increases.

- Experimental study is a study in which the researcher manipulates some of the variables and try to determine how the manipulation influences other variables.
- In an observational study, researchers simply collect data based on what is seen and heard and infer based on the data collected.
- In an observational study, one or more independent variables are controlled so as to obtain information about their influence on the dependent variable.

- Data Visualization
- Analytics
Which of the above really mean the same thing?
I and II |
I and III |
II and III |
III and IV |
I and V |
To deal with Analytics first, this is a term now used in business circles as a substitute for the word Statistics, but it really means the same thing. The word Statistics is considered by some people, especially businessmen, as a bit old-fashioned, and sometimes even difficult to pronounce! But don’t be fooled: Analytics is a fancy word for Statistics. When it comes to Data Science, however, the term does have some different meaning. Data Science is a field that includes Statistics as well as areas such as Computer Science, Database Management and Data Visualization, for example, and has come into being mainly as a result of the spectacular growth in the amount of available data in this new information world that we live in. The need has been recognized for someone who not only has statistical skills, but also advanced programming skills and knowledge about handling huge data sets, the so-called “Big Data” of today. Thus a new profession has been born, that of the Data Scientist. Again, don’t be fooled: the main skill of a data scientist is knowledge of Statistics,
As also understood from the information given, the correct answer is E. “Statistics” and “Analytics” really mean the same thing. Statistics, Computer Science, Database Management and Data Visualization are the areas which Data Science includes. They do not mean the same thing.

Age is a _______ scale data. Which of the following options fills the blank in the above sentence in the most correct way?
Ratio |
Interval |
Nominal |
Ordinal |
Qualitative |
The other main type of data is called continuous, or quantitative, for example data on variables “blood pressure”, “age” and “income”. These are observations of variables on continuous scales, usually rounded in some convenient way. For example, although age is a continuous time variable, and we are getting older all the time by seconds, minutes and hours, someone’s age is almost always rounded to the number of years completed. There is a subtle difference between interval-scale and ratio-scale continuous data, which is worth mentioning here. Age is an interval-scale variable: to compare two children of ages 10 and 12, we would compute the interval difference, .e. 2 years.

In this type of measurement scale, there is a natural or zero-valued base value that cannot be changed. What is the name of this scale?
Nominal Scale |
Ordinal scale |
Cardinal Scale |
Interval Scale |
Ratio Scale |
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.
