ACCP 5005 Exam MC questions Review Winter 2019

1. Determine whether the distribution in the histogram is symmetric, uniform, skewed left, skewed right.
Estimate the position of median and the mean.

2. What are the reasons for sampling versus population?

 It is impossible to reach every population member

 It is time/ money consuming to reach to a population

 Sampling results are adequate

3. What is a pie graph?

A pie chart is simply a circle subdivided into slices that represent the categories. It is drawn so that the size

of each slice is proportional to the percentage.

4. What is an ogive?

The Ogive is defined as the frequency distribution graph of a series. The Ogive is a graph of a cumulative

distribution, which explains data values on the horizontal plane axis and either the cumulative

relative frequencies, the cumulative frequencies or cumulative per cent frequencies on the vertical

axis.
