Free Presentation of Data 03 Practice Test - 11th Grade - Commerce
Question 1
For easy interpretation, a bar graph can be converted to a pie chart when:
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Although pie charts can be used for absolute values, inferences are easier when percentages are used.
Question 2
A group of school kids were asked for their favorite colors: 10 picked pink, 5 picked red, 11 pinked blue, 1 said white, 13 said purple, and 5 said green. How would you represent this data?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
The given data is discrete as there is a clear separation between the colors. Hence, bar diagram can be used to represent this.
Question 3
In a histogram, two class intervals were 20-30 and 30-40 with corresponding heights 10 and 20 units. The class intervals were combined to form a single class interval 20-40. What is the height corresponding to this new class interval?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
In a histogram, the area of
rectangles corresponds to
the frequency of the classes.
Before combining,
Frequency=10×10+10×20=300
The frequency after combining the classes
also will be the same. Suppose 'h' is the
height of the new class interval. Then,
Frequency=20×h=300⇒h=30020=15
Question 4
Which of the following is(are) NOT true about tabular presentation?
SOLUTION
Solution : A and C
Options (a) and (c) are not true. Tabular presentations enable a quicker understanding of data when compared to textual but not diagrammatic. Also, for a huge amount of data it could be time-consuming and need not necessarily be the quickest way to present the data.
Question 5
Sum of the areas of all the rectangles of a histogram represents:
SOLUTION
Solution : A
It represents the sum of frequencies of the given table.
Question 6
Cumulative frequency curve is also known as a(an)
SOLUTION
Solution :Cumulative frequency curve is also known as an ogive.
Question 7
An arithmetic line graph is also called as a
SOLUTION
Solution : An arithmetic line graph is called as a time-series graph as it is used to represent time-series data.
Question 8
A
SOLUTION
Solution : Frequency curve is plotted by joining the midpoints of the top edges of a histogram by smooth wavy lines and curves.
Question 9
Which of the following Frequency Distribution Graph(s) can be used to determine the value of Mode?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
In a histogram, the area of rectangles represent the class frequency. Hence, mode can be determined graphically through histograms.
Question 10
Name the above shown curve.
SOLUTION
Solution : A
In 'more than' ogives, we start with the lower limits of the classes & go on subtracting frequencies of each class. Here, more than cumulative frequencies of number of women is plotted against the lower limit of average monthly income.
