Test of basic stats and probability

Roll No. _____________________

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, explain why.
1. If in a discrete series 75% values are greater than 50, then Q3 =50.
2. A single, extremely large value can affect the mean more than the median.
3. One-half of all the data values will fall above the median, and one-half will fall below the median
Complete these statements with the best answer:
4. If the mode is to the right of the median and the mean is to the left of the median, then the distribution is ____________________skewed.
5. The value of the mode when all values in the data set are same is ___________________________.
6. The arithmetic mean of 5 items is 4 and the arithmetic mean of 10 items is 10. The combined arithmetic mean is _______________.
Short Questions:
7. A set of data has mean 4.3 and standard deviation 2.5. Each observation is multiplied by 10 and the result decreased by 3. The mean and
standard deviation of the transformed data are
8. The midterm test scores of 15 students enrolled in a statistics class were recorded in an ascending order as follows:
4,7,7,9,10,11,13,15,15,17,17,17,19,19,20. After calculating the mean median and mode an error is discovered. One of the 17’s
is really a 15. Which of the measure of central tendency is/are change?
Probability:
9. A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If the coin
turns up heads, what is the probability that it is the two-headed coin?
10. Among a group of 60 engineering students, 24 take math and 29 take physics. Also 10 take both physics and statistics, 13 take math and
physics, 11 take math and statistics, and 8 take all three subjects, while 7 take none of the three. (a) How many students take statistics? (b)
What is the probability that a student selected at random takes all three, given he takes statistics?
