Which of the following can be the coefficient of correlation 'r', between two variables?

  1. 2

    • 2
  2. 3

  3. 0.75

  4. None


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Right answer, r can lie between -1 and +1.

Which of the following is true, if A and B are mutually exclusive?

  1. P(AB) = 0

  2. P(A/B) = P(A)

  3. P(B/A) = P(B)

  4. P(AUB) = 0

  5. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When two events are mutually exclusive they do not have anything in common, hence P(AB) =0

If the same quantity is added to a set of data, its standard deviation

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. remains the same

  4. doubles

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As the mean increases by the same quantity, standard deviation remains the same.

Probability for occurrence of two events together is expressed by

  1. P(A/B)

  2. P(AB)

  3. P(B/A)

  4. P(AUB)

  5. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Right answer, AB denotes both events A and B together.

Number of arangments that can be made using the word “both”, with or without meaning and with repetition in forming 4 lettered words is

  1. 256

  2. 128

  3. 64

  4. 258

  5. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Each letter can be selected in any one of the 4 ways.Hence 4x4x4x4 = 256 ways.

If f(x) = x + 2, find f(1/x).

  1. 1/(x + 2)

  2. (1 + 2x)/x

  3. 2-(1/x)

  4. x-2

  5. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Correct, f(1/x) = (1/x) +2= (1+2x)/2

If same quantity is subtracted from all entries, arithmetic mean will

  1. decrease by the same quantity

  2. increase by same quantity

  3. remains the same

  4. doubles

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Overall sum will be original sum - n times the constant quantity. Hence it decreases by same quantity.

The sum of the terms 3, 0, - 3, - 6, - 9, …. 50 is equal to

  1. 3926

  2. 3824

  3. 3800

  4. 3825

  5. None


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

50/2(6+49*3) = 3825 is sum of 50 items with a = 3 and d = 3.

The slope of a line joining the points (2,1) and (3,4) is

  1. 3

  2. 1/3

  3. 0

  4. 2

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Slope = difference in y coordinates/difference in x coordinates = 3

Point estimate is

  1. a single number

  2. an interval

  3. Both (1) and (2)

  4. Not relevant in statistics

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Correct. Point estimate will only be a single number.

What is the probability that each letter is put in a different cover, if there are 3 letters and 4 covers?

  1. 1/64

  2. 1/32

  3. 1

  4. 0

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Each letter has four choices. But 3 letters in 4 covers, give 4C3 ways. Probability = 4C3/4^4 = 1/64

The distance of origin from the line x + y = 9 is

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 0

  4. 9/rt 2

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using formula, distance = |(0+0-9)/rt (1+1)| 

The relation “is mother of” over a set of family members is a relation that is

  1. reflexive

  2. symmetric

  3. transitive

  4. All of the above

  5. None of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Right as it is not reflexive. Neither is it transitive or symmetric.

A good estimator exhibits

  1. unbiasedness

  2. consistency

  3. efficiency

  4. All of these

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All these properties are possessed by a good estimator.

The chart which shows logarithm of a variable is known as

  1. line chart

  2. ratio chart

  3. multiple line chart

  4. component line chart

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ratio chart is rightly interpreted.
