Worked practice questions

On a less-than ogive, the median is read off by drawing a horizontal line at:

  1. y = n/3
  2. y = n/2
  3. y = n/4
  4. y = n
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. y = n/2

Median splits the data in half — so the horizontal line is at y = n/2, and the x-intercept where it meets the curve is the median.

A cumulative frequency table's final entry equals:

  1. the total frequency
  2. the modal frequency
  3. zero
  4. half the total
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. the total frequency

By definition, the last cumulative frequency = sum of all individual frequencies = total number of observations.

Probability of any event satisfies:

  1. 0 ≤ P ≤ 1
  2. 0 ≤ P ≤ 100
  3. −1 ≤ P ≤ 1
  4. P ≥ 1
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 0 ≤ P ≤ 1

The probability of an event $E$, denoted as $P(E)$, is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in a sample space. 1. **Minimum Value**: The smallest number of favorable outcomes is $0$ (this happens when the event is impossible). Therefore, the minimum probability is: $$P(E) = \frac{0}{n} = 0$$ 2. **Maximum Value**: The largest number of favorable outcomes is equal to the total number of outcomes $n$ (this happens when the event is certain). Therefore, the maximum probability is: $$P(E) = \frac{n}{n} = 1$$ 3. **Conclusion**: Since the number of favorable outcomes $m$ must satisfy $0 \leq m \leq n$, it follows that dividing by $n$ gives: $$\frac{0}{n} \leq \frac{m}{n} \leq \frac{n}{n}$$ $$0 \leq P(E) \leq 1$$ Thus, the probability of any event must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
