Identification. Identify what is being asked for. Write your answers on the space provided before each number. NO
ERASURES/SUPERIMPOSITIONS. Erasures/Superimpositions will be marked incorrect.

________________________1. It is also referred to as measures of centre or central location.

________________________2. What is the symbol for the population mean?
________________________3. It is a measure that indicates the extent to which the central 50% of values within the
dataset are dispersed
________________________4. This is also known as the arithmetic average.
________________________5. This refers to the most commonly occurring value in a distribution
________________________6. What is the symbol for sample mean?
________________________7. It refers to the middle value in distribution when the values are arranged in ascending or
descending order.
________________________8. It is the sum of the value of each observation in a dataset divided by the number of
observations.
________________________9. This refers to the difference between largest and smallest values
________________________10. It is the most commonly used measure of the center of data.
________________________11. It is the symbol used to indicate that values are to be summed.
________________________12. It refers to a quantitative distance measure based on the differences between scores
________________________13. What are the three main measures of central tendency
________________________14.
________________________15.

TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise. NO ERASURES/SUPERIMPOSITIONS.
Erasures/Superimpositions will be marked incorrect. (2points each)

______________1. The mean can be used for both continuous and discrete numeric data.
______________2. It is possible for there to be more than one mode for the same distribution of data
______________3. The mode has an advantage over the median and the mean as it can be found for
both numerical and categorical (non-numerical) data.
______________4. The median cannot be identified for categorical nominal data, as it cannot be logically order
______________5. There are instances where a distribution may not have any mode at all
______________6. Quartile Deviation is computed by deducting the lower quartile from the upper quartile and dividing
it by 2
______________7. The lower quartile is found one quarter of the way along a dataset when the values have been
arranged in order of magnitude
______________8. The median divides the distribution in half.
______________9. The mean can be calculated for categorical data, as the values can be summed.
______________10. In all distributions, the mode reflects the centre of the distribution very well
______________11. The formula for computing Quartile Deviation in ungrouped data and data in a frequency
distribution is the same.
______________12. The upper quartile is found two quarters along the dataset
______________13. The mode measures the size of the smallest contiguous interval of real numbers that encompasses
all the data values
______________14. “n” in statistical formula refers to the mean.
______________15. The inter-quartile range(IQR) is found by subtracting the upper quartile(Q3) from the lower
quartile(Q1).
