Question 11.


___ explains the specific feature of the table which is not self-explanatory.


  1.     Footnote
  2.     Source note
  3.     Body of table
  4.     Caption
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Footnote
:
A
Footnotes are not mandatory and are mostly used to simply explain a feature of the table that is neither self explanatory nor one that’s been explained before.
Question 12.


The height of a histogram does not represent the frequency of the corresponding class interval.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Component bar diagram
  4.     Pie chart
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Area of the rectangle represents the frequency of the class interval considered.
Question 13.


A database consists of the poverty levels of all the states in India for the last 10 years. In order to present the data of the most and the least poor states in the last 5 years, which of the following can be used to show it on a graph?


  1.     Multiple Bar Diagram
  2.     Component Bar Diagram
  3.     Arithmetic Line Graph
  4.     Simple Bar Diagram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Multiple Bar Diagram
:
A
Since the data to be presented has 2 bars of the same category(the most poor and the least poor) and it is required to show the trends of these in the last 5 years, multiple bar diagram is the best suited for a graph.
Question 14.


To present the data about the total sales of four car manufacturers along with the sales of individual models for a year, which of the following is the most appropriate?


  1.     Simple bar diagram
  2.     Multiple bar diagram
  3.     Component bar diagram
  4.     Pie chart
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Component bar diagram
:
C
Since the total sales and the breakdown of sales by models are required to be presented for each manufacturer, we can make use of component bar diagrams for this purpose. If only the total sales were required, a simple bar diagram would have sufficed.
Question 15.


More than ogive is a ___ .


  1.     Non-increasing graph
  2.     Non-decreasing graph
  3.     Decreasing graph
  4.     Increasing graph
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Non-increasing graph
:
A
For more than ogive, more than cumulative frequencies are plotted against the lower class boundaries of that class. Here, frequencies are subtracted from the total, starting from the lower limit of the 1st class interval of the frequency distribution. The cumulative total tends to decrease or remain the same. Hence it is a non-increasing graph.
Question 16.


Sometimes presentation of data precedes organisation of data.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Body of table
  4.     Caption
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
In all circumstances, organisation of data precedes presentation of data. Only when the data are organised, it can be understood and be presented in the right way.
Question 17.


Calculate The Percentage Of Profits Earned Approximately By ...
Calculate the percentage of profits earned approximately by Company A in 2015-16 and Company B is 2016-17.


  1.     40% - Company A
    20% - Company B
  2.     35% - Company A
    46% - Company B
  3.     42% - Company A
    46% - Company B
  4.     42% - Company A
    48% - Company B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 42% - Company A
46% - Company B

:
C
For company A ,
% of profits earned in 2015 - 16
=250600×100
= 42%
For company B,
% of profits earned in 2015 - 16
=300650×100
= 46%.
Question 18.


Bar diagrams can be plotted only for:


  1.     Discrete data
  2.     Continuous data
  3.     Both A and B
  4.     Neither A nor B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Discrete data
:
A
Bar diagram comprises a group of equi-spaced and equi-width rectangular bars for each class or category of data. It is plotted only for discrete data.
Question 19.


MonthlyCumulativeWagesFrequency(in Rupees)less than 2015less than 5035less than 8045less than 11095
The ogive corresponding to the above cumulative frequency distribution will be a non-decreasing graph.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     42% - Company A
    46% - Company B
  4.     42% - Company A
    48% - Company B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
All less than ogives are non-decreasing graphs. As you go down the class interval, cumulative frequencies can only increase or stay the same.
Question 20.


ClassFrequency50601260808 ClassFrequency50,0001,00,000121,00,0001,50,00010
What is/are missing in the above tables?


  1.     Unit of measurement
  2.     Table Number
  3.     Caption
  4.     Title
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Unit of measurement
:
A, B, and D
Without the unit of measurement, it is not understood if income is given in 1000's of Rupees, or Rupees. Indexing or adding table number helps in identification and understanding of the given information. Lastly, there is no title to these tables. Hence nothing can be inferred from the given data.
