This quiz contains MCQs Introductory Statistics with answers covering variable and type of variable, Measures of central tendency such as mean, median, mode, Weighted mean, data and type of data, sources of data, Measures of Dispersion/ Variation, Standard Deviation, Variance, Range, etc. Let us start the MCQs Introductory Statistics with answers Quiz.

1. The measure of Dispersion can never be

2. Which of these is a relative measure of dispersion

3. If $a$ and $b$ are two constants, then $Var(a + bX)\,$ is

4. If all values are same then the measure of dispersion will be

5. The mean deviation of the values, 18, 12, 15 is

6. Variance is always calculated from

7. Suppose for 40 observations, the variance is 50. If all the observations are increased by 20, the variance of these increased observations will be

8. The range of the values -5, -8, -10, 0, 6, 10 is

9. Standard deviation is calculated from the Harmonic Mean (HM)

10. The measure of dispersion is changed by a change of

11. The variance of a constant is

12. The lowest value of variance can be

13. The standard deviation is always _________ than the mean deviation

14. For the symmetrical distribution, approximately 68% of the cases are included between

15. If $Y=-8X-5$ and SD of $X$ is 3, then SD of $Y$ is

16. If the standard deviation of the values 2, 4, 6, 8 is 2.58, then the standard deviation of the values 4, 6, 8, 10 is

17. The sum of squares of deviation is least if measure from

18. The sum of squared deviations of a set of $n$ values from their mean is

19. Mean Deviation, Variance and Standard Deviation of the values 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 is

20. $Var(2X+3)\,$ is

21. The percentage of values lies between $\overline{X}\pm 2 SD\,$ is

22. The variance of 5 numbers is 10. If each number is divided by 2, then the variance of new numbers is

23. If $X$ and $Y$ are independent then $SD(X-Y)$ is

24. Variance remains unchanged by the change of

25. A measure of dispersion is always

Basic statistics deals with the measure of central tendencies (such as mean, median, mode, weighted mean, geometric mean, and Harmonic mean) and measure of dispersion (such as range, standard deviation, and variances). Basic statistical methods include planning and designing the study, collecting data, arranging, and numerical and graphically summarizing the collected data. Basic statistics also used to perform statistical analysis to draw meaningful inferences.
A basic visual inspection of data using some graphical and numerical statistics may give some useful hidden information already available in the data. The graphical representation includes a bar chart, pie chart, dot chart, box plot, etc. Companies related to finance, communication, manufacturing, charity organizations, government institutes, simple to large businesses, etc. are all examples that have a massive interest in collecting data and measuring different sorts of statistical findings. This helps them to learn from the past, noticing the trends, and planning for the future.

please the question 14 why it is 2 because i calculated it and i got zero

• Please mention the statement of the question. Questions appear randomly for each test. However, I checked the options that have 0 and 1. There are two questions, one is related to mean deviation and the other is related to the variance for constant values. For mean deviation, you need to find the average of absolute values. A hint is also provided in the quiz and it will appear when you will submit the quiz.
