A. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
_____1. The raw data are a listing of all the values.
_____2. The number of observation in each class refers to frequency.
_____3. Frequency can aid the researcher in drawing charts and graphs.
_____4. In general, a frequency distribution should contain at least 20 classes.
_____5. On a pareto chart, the frequencies should be represented on the x-axis.
_____6. In constructing a frequency polygon, the x-axis contains the class limits.
_____7. The class midpoint is obtained by adding the upper and lower limits.
_____8. In a time series graph the horizontal axis usually involves time, such as hour or years.
_____9. It is important to keep the width of each class the same in a frequency distribution.
_____10.Data such as civil status can be organized into a categorical frequency distribution.
_____ 11.To construct a frequency polygon, the class midpoints and the class frequencies are
needed.
_____ 12. The class interval is obtained by subtracting the lower stated limit of a class from its
upper stated limits.
_____ 13. The type of graph used to represent data is determined by the type of data and by the
researcher’s purpose.
_____ 14. Relative frequency distributions are developed by dividing each class frequency by the
corresponding class mark.
_____ 15. A sample of 100 observations is to be organized into a frequency distribution. The
suggested number of classes is 8 using 8k rule.
_____ 16. Stem-and-leaf plot is a statistical device used in explanatory data analysis that is a
combination of a frequency distribution and a histogram.
_____ 17. The difference between a histogram and a frequency polygon is that the histogram
employs bar whereas the midpoints are connected by lines for a frequency polygon.
_____ 18. In constructing histograms there should be no spaces between bars.
_____ 19. Pie charts are better than bar graphs for comparing relative sizes.
_____ 20.The scatter–plot is the basic graphic tool for investigating relationships between two interval or
ratio scaled variables.

_____ 21 In any data set, the mode will always be unique.

_____ 22. The midrange is a measure of central tendency.
_____ 23. One disadvantage of the median is that it is not unique.
_____ 24. If the mean, median and mode are all equal the distribution is symmetric.
_____ 25. If the mean is smaller than the median, distribution is negatively skewed.
_____ 26. If the mean is larger than the median, distribution is positively skewed.
_____ 27. The mean cannot be determined for grouped data when there is an open class.
_____ 28. A single, extremely small value can affect the median more than the mean.
_____ 29. When the median is computed for individual data, all values in the data set are used.
_____ 30. The mean is not recommended if extremely large values are found in the data set.
_____ 31. One-half of all data values will fall below the mode, and the other half will above the
mode.
_____ 32. Mean and median are affected when a constant is added to each observation in a data
set.
_____ 33. The mean is the “most frequently observed value of measurements in the relevant set
of data.”
_____ 34. The mode is computed by adding all the values and dividing the total by the number
of observations.
++++ 35. The mean of a sample always divides the data into two equal halves-half smaller and
half larger in value than itself.
_____ 36. If a frequency distribution is skewed to the left, then the mode generally exceeds the
median, which turn exceeds the mean.
_____ 37. In a frequency distribution that is skewed to the right, the mean has the largest value
and the smallest frequency among the summary measures.
_____ 38. It is more appropriate to use the sample mean rather than the median, if mathematical
convenience is important to the investigator.
