MARK EACH)
Q.1.What do you mean by a discrete series? Ans. A discrete series
that series where individual values differ from each other by definite
amount.
Q.2.What do you understand by the term “array”? Ans. The
arrangement of raw data in ascending or descending order of
magnitude is known as array.
Q.3.What is meant by the term frequency? Ans. Frequency refers to
the number of items a given value appears in a distribution.
Q.4.Give the meaning of frequency distribution? Ans. A table in which
the frequencies and the associated values of a variable are written
side by side, is known as a frequency distribution.
Q.5.What do you understand by individual series? Ans. Individual
series refers to the series in which items are listed singly i.e. each item
given a separate vale of measurement.
Q.7.What is meant by geographical classification? Ans. When the
data are classified according to geographical location or region, it is
known as geographical classification.
Q.8.What is quantitative classification? Ans. When data is classified on
the basis of the characteristics which can be measured, it is known as
quantitative classification.
Q.9.Define qualitative classification? Ans. When data is classified on
the basis of attributes it is known as qualitative classification.
Q.10.What is meant by a statistical series? The arrangement of
classified data in some logical order, like according to the size,
according to the time of occurrence or according to some other
measurable or nonmeasurable characteristics, it is known as statistical
series.
Q.11.What is meant by variable or variate? Ans. A variable refers to
quantity or attribute whose values varies from one investigation to
another.
Q.12.What is meant by class-interval? Ans. The difference between
the upper limit and lower limit of a class is known as class interval. For
example: the class interval of the class 10-20 is 10.
Q.13.What are class limit? Ans. Upper limit and lower limit of the
classes are called limits. For example in the class 5- 10, 5 is the lower
limit and 10 is the upper limit.
Q.14.What does a tally bar signify? Ans. A tally bar signifies one
occurrence of an item corresponding to a particular classinterval.
Q.15.Which series exclude the upper limit of the class interval? Ans.
Exclusive series.
