,1. Which statement best defines Statistics?
A. The art of collecting only numerical data
B. The science of collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting data
C. The study of intangible phenomena
D. A branch of mathematics that excludes probability
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Statistics involves collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting data to
make informed decisions.
2. Which of the following is NOT a primary function of Statistics?
A. Collection of data
B. Organization of data
C. Creation of data
D. Interpretation of data
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Statistics does not create data; it deals with data that already exist or are collected through
studies or experiments.
3. What is the main purpose of Inferential Statistics?
A. To summarize and describe data
B. To draw conclusions about a population based on a sample
C. To present data using tables and charts
D. To make raw data readily available
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Inferential Statistics allows us to make generalizations or predictions about a larger group
(population) based on a subset of data (sample).
4. What is the difference between a Population and a Sample in Statistics?
A. A population is always larger than a sample
B. A sample includes every member of the population
C. A population is an entire set of elements, while a sample is a subset of that population
D. A sample is always smaller than 10% of the population
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A population refers to the entire collection of items or subjects, while a sample is a
smaller portion selected from that population.
5. Which of the following best describes a Parameter?
A. A numerical measure describing a characteristic of a sample
B. A numerical measure describing a characteristic of a population
C. A hypothesis about a sample
D. A guess about a population characteristic
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A parameter is a numerical measure (e.g., mean, proportion) that describes an entire
population. A similar measure for a sample is called a statistic.
6. Which statement is TRUE about Qualitative (categorical) data?
A. They can be measured on a numerical scale
B. They describe attributes or labels without inherent numerical values
C. They always have an absolute zero point
D. They cannot be used in statistical analysis
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Qualitative data represent labels or names for categories (e.g., gender, type of car) and do
not inherently have numeric values.
7. Which of the following is an example of Discrete data?
A. The weight of a bag of apples
PAGE 2
, B. The time taken to finish a race
C. The number of students in a classroom
D. The temperature of a cup of coffee
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Discrete data take on countable values (e.g., 1, 2, 3...). The number of students is a whole
count, hence discrete.
8. Continuous data are characterized by which of the following?
A. Values can take on any number within an interval
B. Data are categorical
C. Data are always integers
D. Data cannot be subdivided
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Continuous data can assume any value within a certain range (e.g., time, weight,
distance).
9. What type of scale classifies data into distinct categories in which ranking is implied?
A. Nominal
B. Ordinal
C. Interval
D. Ratio
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Ordinal scales arrange data into categories that can be ranked or ordered, but the exact
differences between rankings may not be consistent.
10. Which scale of measurement has both a meaningful zero point and consistent intervals?
A. Nominal
B. Ordinal
C. Interval
D. Ratio
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The ratio scale has an absolute zero point (e.g., height, weight) and fixed intervals.
11. A 'Statistic' refers to which of the following?
A. A numerical characteristic of a population
B. A numerical characteristic of a sample
C. A method of selecting participants
D. A graphical method of data presentation
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A statistic is a measure (e.g., mean, median) computed from sample data.
12. Data obtained by observing traits at a single point in time are called:
A. Cross-sectional data
B. Time-series data
C. Longitudinal data
D. Experimental data
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Cross-sectional data capture information at one point in time across multiple subjects or
variables.
13. When data are collected over successive periods, they are referred to as:
A. Time-series data
B. Observational data
C. Cross-sectional data
D. Structured data
