Which type of data is best represented by a histogram?
Answer: Continuous numerical data
Histograms display the frequency distribution of continuous numerical data by grouping values into intervals called bins.
In a dataset, the value that appears most frequently is called the:
Answer: Mode
The mode is the value that occurs most often in a dataset and is the only measure of central tendency applicable to nominal data.
A correlation coefficient of -0.85 between two variables indicates:
Answer: A strong negative relationship
A correlation coefficient near -1 indicates a strong negative relationship, meaning as one variable increases, the other decreases.
Which measure of spread is most affected by extreme outliers in a dataset?
Answer: Range
The range is calculated solely from the maximum and minimum values, making it the most sensitive measure to outliers.
When analyzing a pie chart, the angle of each slice is proportional to:
Answer: The percentage each category represents of the whole
Each slice in a pie chart represents a proportion of the total (360°), so its angle equals the category's percentage multiplied by 360.
A p-value of 0.03 in a statistical test typically means:
Answer: The result is statistically significant at the 0.05 level
A p-value of 0.03 is below the common 0.05 threshold, indicating the result is statistically significant and unlikely due to chance alone.
