- Consider the following statements:
- Quartile deviation is more instructive range as it discards the dispersion of extreme items
- Coefficient of quartile deviation cannot be used to compare the degree of variation in different distributions.
- there are 10 deciles for a series.
- Which of the above statements is/are correct?
- 1,2 and 3
- 2 alone
- 3 alone
- 1 alone
- Which one of the following indices satisfies both time reversal and factor reversal tests?
- Laspeyres՚s index
- Fisher՚s index
- Paasche՚s index

- Given the following data-1,2, 3,4 and 100; the best measure of central tendency is the
- arithmetic mean
- median
- mode
- mode geometric mean
- If for a given data, mode = 5, median = 15 and mean = 20, it means that the sample data is
- skewed to the right
- skewed to the left
- symmetric
- neither symmetric not skewed
- Consider the following statements:
- correlation analysis helps in determining the relationship between two or more variables-it does not tell us anything about the cause and effect relationship
- the ratio of explained variation to the total variation is called the coefficient of correlation.
- Pearsonian coefficient always assumes linear relationship and is unduly affected by the extreme items.
- Which of the above statements is/are correct?
- 2 alone
- 1 and 2
- 1 and 3
- 2 and 3
- The right-hand tail of a frequency distribution is found to the mirror image of the left-hand tail. The distribution is

- Geometric Mean
- Harmonic Mean
- Median
- Mode
- During one year the ration of prices of two commodities is 3, whereas during the next year it is 2. For averaging these rations.
- arithmetic mean is most appropriate
- harmonic mean is most appropriate
- geometric mean is most appropriate
- All the three, arithmetic, harmonic and geometric means are equally appropriate
- Consider the following statements:
- Median is not useful while dealing with skewed distribution such as income distribution or price distribution.
