Total Questions : 30 | Page 3 of 3 pages
Question 21.


Which type(s) of presentation would you opt to present the annual expenditures of a company?


  1.     Textual
  2.     Diagrammatic
  3.     Tabular
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Diagrammatic
:
B and C

If textual was used, one has to go through the entire text for comprehension. In order to present data such as a company's annual expenditures/sales, one can use either tabular/diagrammatic presentation as it saves a lot of time and can be easily interpreted.


Question 22.


If you have referred some articles published in a magazine to make a report, then it is important to quote them by including a source note.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Tabular
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
It is mandatory to provide citations to the source in the source note while making a report.
Question 23.


Descriptive presentation should be used when a report has to be made involving a huge amount of data.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Tabular
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Descriptive method is not a concise representation and should not be used for any report involving huge amounts of data since this involves reading through the entire report/passage and is time-consuming. One can opt for tabular presentation in this case.
Question 24.


Spatial classification is based on the size of the geographies.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Tabular
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Spatial classification is the classification based on places or location.The size of the place is not of concern. Example: villages, towns, cities fall under this category.
Question 25.


Less than ogive is a


  1.     Non-increasing graph
  2.     Non-decreasing graph
  3.     Decreasing graph
  4.     Increasing graph
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Non-decreasing graph
:
B
For less than ogive, the less than cumulative frequencies are plotted against the upper class boundaries of that class. Here, frequencies are added starting from the upper limit of the 1st class interval of the frequency distribution. The cumulative total tends to increase or remain the same. Hence, less than ogive is a non-decreasing graph.
Question 26.


___ is formed by joining mid-points of the top edges of all the rectangles in a histogram.


  1.     Frequency curve
  2.     Frequency polygon
  3.     Ogive
  4.     Both A and B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Frequency polygon
:
B
Frequency polygons are plotted in the described manner.
Question 27.


A huge amount of data has to be analysed on priority. Which of the following would best suit to present this data?


  1.     Geometric Diagram
  2.     Frequency Diagram
  3.     Textual
  4.     Arithmetic Line Graph
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Geometric Diagram
:
A
In geometric diagrams, the representations are shown through geometric shapes and figures. Circles and rectangles are among the shapes that are used for geometric diagrams. This helps in easily analysing a huge amount of data.
Question 28.


Histograms can never be used to represent discrete variables/data.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Tabular
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Histograms are drawn only for continuous variables. Unlike the bar diagrams, there are "no" gaps between the bars.
Question 29.


Which data can be used to plot an arithmetic line graph?


  1.     Continuous
  2.     Discrete
  3.     Both A and B
  4.     Neither A nor B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Continuous
:
A
A continuous arithmetic line graph can be plotted only when the data is continuous.
Question 30.


The intersection point of less than ogive and more than ogive gives the ___ of a frequency distribution.


  1.     Median
  2.     Frequency
  3.     Cumulative frequency
  4.     Mean
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Median
:
A
The intersection of less than and more than ogives is the median of the corresponding frequency distribution.
