What is the probability that a student had a part-time or was on the Dean’s list? 0.40 0.25 0.10 0.50 Commonly used statistical methodologies in data analysis include Descriptive statistics Inferential statistics All of the above The variance: is the square of the standard deviation. can be 0. is never negative. all of the above. The_________is often the preferred measure of central tendency if the data are severely skewed Mean Mode Median Range The first quartile divides a frequency distribution in the ratio 1:3 4:1 3:1 Which of the following is not an example of a ratio scale variable?

If a couple are both carriers of Tay Sachs disease, a child of theirs has probability 0.25 of being born with the disease. If such a couple has four children, what is the probability that all the children will have the disease ? 0.4 0.04 0.004 0.0004 Two events A and B are mutually exclusive if P(A∩B)=1 P(A∪B)=P(A) P(A∩B)=P(A) P(A∩B)=0 Examples of Designs of Experiment are except----------- Completely randomized block design Randomized block design Organized block design Response surface design A class has 24 students.4 can represent the class at an exam board. How many combinations are possible when choosing this group? 12650 10626 42504 255024 Suppose that 24% of companies in a certain sector of the economy have announced plans to expand in the next year (and the other 76% will not) .In a sample of twenty companies chosen at random drawn from this population ,find the probability that the number of companies which have announced plans to expand in the next year will be precisely five. 0.2012 0.2514 02381 0.2325 The expected value of X having binomial distribution with parameters n and p is np n/p p/n 1/(np) Suppose two events E and F with non-zero probabilities are mutually exclusive. Then E and F are independent E and F are dependent All of the above D.None of the above A couple decides to have children until either (i)they have both a boy and a girl or (ii)they have three children .What is the set of outcomes? Write B for boy ,G for girl ,and write them in birth order.
