Question 1

Which of the following is not a levels of measurement?
A)nominal scale
B)ordinal scale
C)internal scale
D)ratio scale

Accepted Answer

The correct levels of measurement include nominal, ordinal, and ratio scales. "Internal scale" is not recognized as a level of measurement in statistics or research methodology. Nominal and ordinal scales categorize data without implying any order or magnitude among the categories for nominal scales, and with a relative ordering but not precise differences for ordinal scales. Ratio scales, on the other hand, provide order, exact values between units, and have a true zero point, allowing for the calculation of ratios.

Question 2

Nominal scale is also known as……………………?
A)rational variable
B)categorical variable
C)predictor variable
D)extraneous variable

Accepted Answer

Nominal scales, also known as categorical variables, classify data into distinct categories within which no order or ranking can be inferred.

Question 3

……………………. Scale are used for labelling variables into distinct classifications?
A)nominal
B)ordinal
C)ratio
D)interval

Accepted Answer

Nominal scales are used for labeling variables into distinct classifications without any order or ranking.

Question 4

One of the characteristics of ………….… is that equal distinct between objects or variable?
A)ratio scale
B)nominal scale
C)ordinal scale
D)interval scale

Accepted Answer

The interval scale is characterized by equal distances between points on the scale, which means that the difference between any two consecutive points is the same across the scale. This allows for meaningful comparison of the differences between measurements.

Question 5

The researchers need to understand techniques of developing a measurement tools. It includes ………………..?
A)concept development and specifications of concept dimensions
B)generalisation of facts and data
C)selection of indicators and formation of index
D)interpretation of circumstantial evidences

Accepted Answer

The answer of The researchers need to understand techniques of...

Question 6

……………….. is a numerical scale, where the order of the variable is known as well as the difference between these variables
A)interval scale
B)ratio scale
C)ordinal sale
D)nominal scale

Accepted Answer

An interval scale is a numerical scale where not only the order of the variables is known, but also the exact differences between the variables. This allows for a wide range of statistical and arithmetic operations to be performed on the data.

Question 7

……… as a variable measurement scale, it produces the order of variables as well as make the differences between variable known along with information on the value of true zero?
A)ordinal scale
B)ratio scale
C)nominal scale
D)interval scale

Accepted Answer

The ratio scale is the only measurement scale among the options that not only establishes an order among variables but also quantifies the difference between them and includes a true zero point, allowing for the calculation of ratios.

Question 8

At the primary stage of statistic development, it is known as …………………?
A)political craft
B)statecraft science
C)craft science
D)social craft

Accepted Answer

At the primary stage of its development, statistics was known as statecraft science, as it was primarily used for the administration and understanding of state or governmental affairs.

Question 9

In the level of measurement, ……………….used to simply depict the order of variables, not to make difference between variables?
A)interval scale
B)ordinal scale
C)ratio scale
D)nominal scale

Accepted Answer

The ordinal scale is used to rank order the items being measured. It tells us the order of the items but does not tell us the exact difference between them.

Question 10

Which of the following is consider the sources of errors in measurement?
A)precision, validity, reliability, unambiguous
B)conceptual errors, lack of theoretical support, responses, coding errors
C)respondent, situation, measurer, instrument
D)unsuitable measuring tool, inappropriate theory, use of vague terms, circumstantial

Accepted Answer

The sources of errors in measurement typically include factors related to the respondent, the situation, the measurer, and the instrument used, as these can all introduce variability or bias into the measurement process.

Question 11

Who is known as the father of vital statistics?
A)john grant
B)gertrude cox
C)jake porway
D)david blackwell

Accepted Answer

John Graunt is known as the father of vital statistics due to his pioneering work in the mid-17th century, where he applied statistical methods to demography and health data for the first time.

Question 12

………………. Scaling techniques used for the purpose of categorisation or division?
A)ordinal
B)ratio
C)interval
D)nominal

Accepted Answer

Nominal scaling is used for categorization or division, as it involves labeling variables without any quantitative value or order.

Question 13

Labelling the variables, significance of the order of variables and calculate the difference between variables etc. are characteristics ………………….?
A)ratio scale
B)interval scale
C)ordinal scale
D)nominal scale

Accepted Answer

The answer of Labelling the variables, significance of the order...

Question 14

Which of the following is not a type of validity?
A)content variable
B)criterion-related variable
C)rational variable
D)construct variable

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is not a...

Question 15

………………… are selected all the basis of their compliance with a certain rating of objects of ascending or descending discriminating strength?
A)arbitrary approach
B)item analysis
C)consensus approach
D)cumulative scale

Accepted Answer

Cumulative scale involves selecting items based on their compliance with a certain rating, reflecting ascending or descending discriminating strength.

Question 16

The method of having a several numbers to few members. It is known as …………….?
A)univariation
B)data reduction
C)summarization
D)inferential data

Accepted Answer

Data reduction is the process of reducing the amount of data by transforming it into a simplified form, often by summarizing or aggregating the data.

Question 17

"Averages are statistical constant which enable us to comprehend in a single effort the significance of the whole" who defined?
A)a. e waugh
B)walter bodmer
C)thomas farrer
D)a.l bowley

Accepted Answer

A.L. Bowley defined averages as statistical constants that allow us to understand the significance of the whole in a single effort.

Question 18

The term "Regression" coined by ………………..?
A)francis galton
B)david f duncan
C)andrew gelman
D)michael healy

Accepted Answer

Francis Galton coined the term "Regression" in the context of his studies on heredity and natural inheritance, where he observed that the heights of descendants of tall ancestors tend to regress down towards a normal average (a phenomenon he called "regression towards mediocrity").

Question 19

Which of the following is not a way to calculate reliability?
A)jury opinion
B)test-retest
C)multiple form
D)split half

Accepted Answer

Jury opinion is not a method used to calculate reliability. Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure, and methods like test-retest, multiple form, and split-half are used to assess this consistency. Jury opinion, however, is subjective and does not provide a quantitative measure of reliability.

Question 20

"Statistics is the science of the measurement of social organism, regarded as whole in all its manifestation"
A)edward deming
B)thomas bayes
C)arthur lyon bowley
D)francis galton

Accepted Answer

Arthur Lyon Bowley is credited with the quote, "Statistics is the science of the measurement of social organism, regarded as whole in all its manifestations." He was a significant figure in the development of statistical science in the early 20th century.
