Chapter 01 10e

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
1. True/False: Understanding that the range is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum
value helps us interpret the spread of a dataset, indicating how much variability exists between the highest and
lowest values.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

2. True/False: The number of students in a classroom is an example of continuous data.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

3. True/False: The sample mean is calculated by adding all the values in a dataset and dividing by the number of
values.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

4. True/False: The sample median is the middle value of a dataset when the values are arranged in ascending order.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

5. True/False: The sample mean is less affected by outliers compared to the sample median.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

6. True/False: The sample mean is always equal to the sample median.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

7. True/False: True or False: Inferential statistics allow researchers to draw conclusions about a population based on
the analysis of sample data.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

8. True/False: A hypothetical population refers to a group that cannot be directly observed or measured.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

9. True/False: When analyzing a population, using stratified sampling can lead to more accurate representations of
subgroups compared to simple random sampling, as it ensures that each subgroup is adequately represented in
the sample.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

10. True/False: A convenience sample is one of the best ways to ensure a representative sample of a population.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

11. True/False: Comparative boxplots can be used to compare multiple datasets.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

12. True/False: Analyzing a stem-and-leaf plot allows you to determine not only the shape of the data distribution but
also to identify patterns such as outliers, gaps, and the overall spread of the data.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

13. True/False: The sample proportion is found by dividing the number of successes by the total sample size.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

14. True/False: A higher standard deviation than variance indicates that the data points are clustered closely around
the mean, suggesting low variability within the dataset.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

15. True/False: An analytical study focuses on understanding relationships and causal effects between variables,
while an enumerative study primarily counts and describes characteristics of a population.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

16. True/False: A distribution with two peaks is classified as unimodal.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

ANSWER: True

18. True/False: A histogram can be used to represent categorical data.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

19. True/False: A stem-and-leaf plot can be used to display both the shape and the frequency of a dataset.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

20. True/False: An outlier is defined as a data point that falls within the interquartile range (IQR).
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False

averaging.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True

that group.
a. True
b. False

ANSWER: True
