Which of the following is not a nominal variable?
Exam grade |
Gender |
Region of residence |
Field of study |
Type of transport |
The easiest form of data is called categorical, or qualitative. Categorical variables and data can be either nominal or ordinal. Exam grade is an ordinal categorical variable, since its categories are ordered: A is better than a B, B is better than a C, and so on. Other examples of nominal categorical variables are gender, region of residence, field of study, type of transport, type of housing, etc.

Which of the following is true about range?
The range of a data set is shown as R. |
Range is the difference between the largest and smallest values. |
It depends only on the highest and lowest observations. |
Range is heavily affected by these extremes values. |
Range informs about the variability of the observations. |
The disadvantage of the range is that it depends only on the highest and lowest observations and it tells us nothing about the variability of the observations which fall between the two extremes.

Which of the followings is generally demonstrated as P(m), where m is the number taking values between 0 and 100?
Which of the followings is generally demonstrated as P(m), where m is the number taking values between 0 and 100?
Range |
Percentiles |
Interquartile Range |
Variance |
Skewness |
The percentiles generally are demonstrated as P(m), where m is the number taking values between 0 and 100. Intuitively, the P(m) percentile of a set of n measurements, arranged in order of magnitude, is the value such m percent of the measurements are less than or equal to that corresponding value.

I. The mean is pulled in the direction of the tail.
II. The median falls between the mode and the mean.
III. The mean, median, and mode are all the same.
If the distribution is left skewed, having a long tail in negative direction and a single peak, which of the statements above are true?
Only I |
I and II |
I and III |
II and III |
I, II and III |
The measures of skewness are another kind of descriptive statistics and give information about the shape of distribution of the observations. A data set which is not symmetrically distributed is called skewed. The mainly observed shapes of distribution are symmetric, left skewed (negatively skewed), and right skewed (positively skewed). If the distribution is unimodal symmetric, the mean, median, and mode are all the same. If the distribution is left skewed, having a long tail in negative direction and a single peak, the mean is pulled in the direction of the tail, and the median falls between the mode and the mean. The correct answer is B.

Which of the followings cannot be given as an example for random experiments?
Rolling a fair die. |
Customers arriving at a particular store during some time interval. |
Airplanes taking off in a given time interval at some airport. |
Some particular customer requests in a bank. |
Surveying an elemanatry level english classroom. |
A random experiment is any process that leads to two or more possible outcomes, without knowing exactly which outcome will occur.
For example, when a fair die is rolled we know that one of the six faces will show up but we will not be able to say exactly which face will actually show up. Thus, rolling a fair die is an example of a random experiment. Some further examples of random experiments are:
• Customers arriving at a particular store during some time interval.
• Airplanes taking off in a given time interval at some airport.
• Some particular customer requests in a bank.
Note that in a random experiment, although we do not know which outcome will occur, we are able to list or describe all of the possible outcomes.The set of all possible outcomes is important to understand the random experiment. Terefore, it is called a sample space, which is restated below as a definition.

"For binomial distribution, its principal assumptions are n independent trials with two possible outcomes (success or failure) for each trial, and the success probability remains constant for each trial. On the other hand __________ distribution doesn’t involve with independence assumption for each trial and accordingly the sampling process is established on without replacement. Because of these features, it is broadly used in various real life applications especially for acceptance sampling in quality control."

Binomial |
Poisson |
Hypergeometric |
Standard |
Variance |
In binomial distribution, its principal assumptions are n independent trials with two possible outcomes (success or failure) for each trial, and the success probability remains constant for each trial. Therefore in binomial distribution the sampling process is carried out with replacement. On the other hand hypergeometric distribution doesn’t involve with independence assumption for each trial and accordingly the sampling process is established on without replacement. Because of these features, hypergeometric distribution is broadly used in various real life applications especially for acceptance sampling in quality control.The correct answer is C.

For an observation that results in values 6,7,2,4,3,5,6 what is the %30 trimmed (truncated) mean of the group?
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
10 |
The trimmed or as it may sometimes be called as the truncated mean is a slightly modified version of the
arithmetic mean. Trimmed or truncated mean is calculated after a certain number or proportion of the lowest and highest observations from the sorted data are removed (trimmed) from the calculations. First, the data is ordered from smallest to largest, as follows, 2,3,4,5,6,6,7. Then we will find how many data points will be discarded, k, since the trimming is 30% and there are 7 observations, the value of k is k = np = 7×0.30 = 2,1 which is nearly 2. Therefore two 2,3,6 and 7 is removed from the set, which yields to 4,5,6. The sum, 15 is divided to n - 2k which is equal to 7 - 2*2=3 this results in the value 5.The answer is D.
17.Soru
What is mode?
The most frequent score in a data set |
The gap between the lowest and the highest score |
The difference between a certain score and the average |
The score optained by dividing the total scores by the number of scores |
Scores which are turned into zvalue |
Mode is the most frequently appearing score in a data set.So the correct answer is A.

According to empirical probability, which of the following statements is not true?
It uses the relative frequencies to assign the probabilities to the events. |
It is based on experiments. |
To find the probability of a specific event, the experiments are repeated many times. |
It states that all the outcomes have the same chance of happening. |
In empirical probability, the past information becomes very important. |
The empirical probability uses the relative frequencies to assign the probabilities to the events. The empirical probability is based on experiments. In order to find the probability of a specific event, the experiments are repeated many times and the observed outcomes of the event we are interested in is counted. We can formularize this by following equation
The more experiment we do, we may get better results for the probability that we are looking for.
The correct answer is D.
