ANSWER:

1. Median is a positional average.

Explanation

The median is usually the middlemost observation of any series; it is not based on all observations.

2. The arithmetic mean of the following observation 4, 8, 12, 16, is 10.

Explanation

Arithmetic mean

X=Σ XnX=4+8+12+164=404=10

3. Cumulative frequency is needed while finding the median of the distribution.

Explanation

In case of calculation of median after arranging the data in ascending or descending order, the cumulative frequencies are calculated. We then add the simple frequency as ∑f ad denote as N. Median is then calculated as the value of the item corresponding to the (N2+1)th item.

4. Mode is the item having highest frequency.

Explanation

Any observation occurring maximum number of times or most frequently in a series is the mode of that series. Thus, we can say that the mode is the item having the highest frequency.

5. Second quartile is known as median.

Explanation

The second quartile divides a series into two equal parts. Median, being the middlemost observation of any series, divides the series into two equal parts. Thus, the second quartile is also known as the median.

6. The values which divide the total number of observations into 10 equal parts are deciles.

Explanation

Deciles are the values that divide the data into 10 equal parts. For this, the data are first arranged in ascending order. Deciles then divide the data into 10 groups of equal size.

7. There are 9 deciles

Explanation

Since deciles divide the data into 10 equal groups. Therefore, there are 9 points in the entire series which break the data into 10 equal groups.

8. There are 99 percentiles.

Since percentiles divide the data into 100 equal groups. Therefore, there are 99 points in the entire series which breaks the data into 100 groups of equal size.

9. The range of 10 20 30 40 is 30.

Explanation

Range = Highest value – Lowest value

Highest value = 40

Lowest value = 10

Range = 40 – 10 = 30

10. 25th percentile is equal to 1st quartile.

Explanation

A quartile divides the data into 4 equal groups. Therefore, the 1st quartile would mean 1/4th of the entire data. Similarly, a percentile divides the data into 100 equal groups. Now, 25th percentile would also mean 1/4th of the entire data. Thus, 25th percentile is equal to the 1st quartile.
