Chapter 2 Describing Data: Numerical

91) The measures that indicate the location or positions of a value relative to the entire set of data are called the: A) mean and median. B) mode and geometric mean. C) percentiles and quartiles. D) standard deviation. 92) Percentiles and Quartiles are generally used to describe which data sets? A) small B) evenly distributed C) medium D) large 93) The measures used to describe sales data survey data or weights of newborn babies are called: A) mode and geometric mean. B) mean and median. C) percentiles and quartiles. D) both A and B 94) To find percentiles and quantities data must be first arranged in: A) descending order. B) ascending order. C) alphabetical order. D) scattered order. 95) Quartiles are descriptive measures that separate large data sets into: A) squares. B) two halves. C) three thirds. D) four quarters. 96) Reference to the descriptive measures minimum first quartile median third quartile and maximum are made by the: A) five-number summary. B) five-member summary. C) five-slot summary. D) five-step summary. 97) Tukey’s exploratory data analysis graph which gives information about the shape of the distribution and insight into the spread of the data is called a(n): A) scatter-plot. B) box-and-whiskers plot. C) stem-and-leaf display. D) exploded-view-plot. 98) The type of graph which describes the shape of a distribution in terms of the five-number summary is called a: A) scatter plot. B) box-and-whisker plot. C) histogram. D) bar-plot. 99) The measure that examines the location or position of a value relative to the mean of the distribution is called a: A) mean score. B) y-score. C) z-score. D) relative score. 100) A z-score is a standardized value that indicates the number of standard deviations a value is from the: A) mean. B) mode. C) median. D) frequency. 101) According to Chebyshev’s Theorem what percent of the observations lie within ±2.25 standard deviations of the mean? A) at least 80.25% B) at least 75.25% C) at least 55.56% D) at least 95.25%
