QUANTITATIVE METHODS (Prelim Examination)

Mon Carla Lagon

When the number of elements of the population is fixed and thus making it possible to enumerate
it in totality.
Select one:
a. Hypothetical
b. Finite
c. Infinite
d. Existent

Which is not an importance of levels of measurements?

Select one:
a. Each of the levels of measurement provides a different level of detail
b. Helps in solving complex mathematical problems
c. Helps you decide what statistical analysis is appropriate on the values that were assigned
d. Helps you decide how to interpret the data from that variable.

The characteristic of population based on all units is called parameter while the measure of
sample observation is called statistic.
Select one:
True
False

Example of this are number of episodes of respiratory arrests or the number of re-intubations in
an intensive care unit.
Select one:
a. Discrete Data
b. Sample
c. Population
d. Continuous Data

Nominal provides the least amount of detail, and ratio provide the most amount of detail.

 Select one:
True
False

The statistics are presented in a indefinite form so they also help in condensing the data into
important figures.
Select one:
True
False

It is a branch of science that deals with the collection, organization, analysis of data and drawing
of inferences from the samples to the whole population.
Select one:
a. Quantum Physics
b. Probability
c. Statistics
d. General Relativity

Statistics is only the science of uncertainty and not the technology of extracting information from
data.
Select one:
True
False

It is important to study statistics in order to formulate well-advance predictions.

Select one:
True
False

 d. Ordinal

It is the science of uncertainty.

Select one:
a. Physics
b. Probability and Statistics
c. Chemistry
d. Geometry

It has have no order and thus only gives names or labels to various categories.
Select one:
a. nterval
b. Ordinal
c. Nominal
d. Ratio

The value of statistics is strong because they can serve as predictions as well as probabilities in
certain trends.
Select one:
True
False

These are measurements for which there is no natural numerical scale, but which consist of
attributes, labels, or other non numerical characteristics.
Select one:
a. Qualitative Data
b. Continuous Data
c. Quantitative Data
d. Discrete Data

It aims to describe various aspects of the data obtained in the study.

Select one:
a. Differential Statistics

 b. Inferential Statistics
c. Scientific Method
d. Descriptive Statistics

In ratio scale, variables can be systematically added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.
Select one:
True
False

The population is not confined to people only, but it may also include animals, events, objects,
buildings, etc.
Select one:
True
False

Examples of ratio level data include distance and area (e.g., acreage).
Select one:
a. Ordinal
b. Nominal
c. Interval
d. Ratio

How many levels of measurements were discussed?

Select one:
a. Six
b. Five
c. Four
d. Three

It is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable in the experiment.
Select one:
a. Constant Variable
b. Erroneous Variable

 c. Dependent Varaible
d. Independent Variable

One disadvantage of the mean is that a small number of extreme values can distort its value.
Select one:
True
False

In ordinal measurement the numerical values just "name" the attribute uniquely.
Select one:
True
False

Although in an interval scale, since there is an absence of the absolute 0 and it works on the
principal of an arbitrary 0, the division of variables is not possible.
Select one:
True
False

Statistics help predicts the future course of action of the phenomena.

Select one:
a. Forecasting
b. Formulation and Testing of Hypothesis
c. Comparison
d. To present facts in definite form

Which of the following definition defines interval scale?

Select one:
a. Have the highest level of measurement
b. Have no order and thus only gives names or labels to various categories
c. Have meaningful intervals between measurements, but there is no true starting point (zero).
d. Have no order and thus only gives names or labels to various categories.

 The central tendency of the ordinal scale is _______________________________.
Select one:
a. Median
b. Range
c. Mode
d. Mean

The mean is sensitive to any change in value, unlike the median and mode, where a change to an
extreme or uncommon value usually has no effect.
Select one:
True
False

Numbers can be also used to order.

Select one:
True
False

It is commonly used for analyzing experiment results, testing their significance and displaying
the results accordingly.
Select one:
a. Experiment
b. Statistical Method
c. Presentations
d. Laboratory
