Question 1

The following charts are frequently considered for depicting qualitative data except:
A) Line chart
B) Pie chart
C) Bar chart
D) Stacked bar chart

Accepted Answer

Line charts are typically used to depict trends or changes over time, and are therefore better suited for quantitative data. For qualitative data, the best choices would be B) Pie chart, C) Bar chart, and D) Stacked bar chart, where each of these can effectively show the distribution or proportion of different categories or groups.

Question 2

Polar bears,brown bears,black bears,and panda bears would be best described as an example of:
A) Nominal data
B) Ordinal data
C) Ratio data
D) Interval data

Accepted Answer

Nominal data is a type of categorical data where the values represent categories or names that cannot be ranked or ordered. The type of bears listed (polar, brown, black, and panda) are examples of nominal data because they represent categories or names of things, but they cannot be ranked or ordered in any meaningful way.

Question 3

The following are typical examples of interval data except:
A) Time
B) Temperature
C) Standardized exam score
D) Type of car owned

Accepted Answer

Type of car owned is an example of nominal data, whereas time, temperature, and standardized exam score are examples of interval data.

Question 4

Latitude and longitude would be best described as an example of:
A) Nominal data
B) Ordinal data
C) Ratio data
D) Discrete data

Accepted Answer

Latitude and longitude values represent continuous and measurable quantities with an absolute zero point. Therefore, they best represent ratio data. Nominal data involves categorical variables without a natural order or ranking, ordinal data involves ranked categorical data, and discrete data involves countable integers.

Question 5

Red,Yellow,and Blue would be best described as an example of:
A) Nominal data
B) Ordinal data
C) Structured data
D) Test data

Accepted Answer

Nominal data is descriptive data that categorizes variables into discrete categories or groups, without any particular order or scale. In this case, the three colors (Red, Yellow, and Blue) are categories and do not have any order or scale associated with them.

Question 6

1^st place,2^nd place,and 3^rd place would be best described as an example of: A) Nominal data B) Ordinal data C) Structured data D) Interval data

Accepted Answer

The data is in a specific order or ranking, making it ordinal data.

Question 7

The following are typical examples of ordinal data except:
A) Distance
B) Position in a race
C) Hardness of a mineral
D) Military rank

Accepted Answer

Distance is an example of interval or ratio data, as it has equal intervals between values and a true zero point (complete absence of distance). The other options are examples of ordinal data, as they have a natural order or ranking but the intervals between values are not necessarily equal.

Question 8

The following are characteristics of interval data except:
A) Measured
B) Ordered
C) Equidistant
D) Meaningful zero

Accepted Answer

Interval data has a meaningful order and equidistant intervals, but it does not have a true zero point. A zero in interval data does not indicate the complete absence of what is being measured.

Question 9

The following are typical examples of nominal data except:
A) Hair color
B) Eye color
C) Gender
D) Height

Accepted Answer

Height is a continuous variable that can be measured and quantified, whereas nominal data are categorical variables that cannot be measured on a numerical scale. Hair color, eye color, and gender are all examples of nominal data because they are categories that individuals can be grouped into, but cannot be quantified on a numerical scale.

Question 10

________ is data that is represented by whole numbers.
A) Continuous data
B) Discrete data
C) Interval data
D) Ordinal data

Accepted Answer

Discrete data is data that can only take on specific, finite values, typically represented by whole numbers. Examples include the number of siblings an individual has, the number of pets in a household, and the number of books on a shelf. Continuous data, on the other hand, can take on any value within a certain range (such as height or weight), while interval and ordinal data involve more specific measurements or rankings.

Question 11

Letter grades of A,B,and C would be best described as an example of:
A) Nominal data
B) Ordinal data
C) Ratio data
D) Interval data

Accepted Answer

Letter grades of A, B, and C indicate a ranking or order, and therefore represent ordinal data. Nominal data are categories without any inherent order (e.g. colors), ratio data have a true zero point (e.g. weight), and interval data have equal intervals but no true zero point (e.g. temperature in Celsius).

Question 12

The following are typical examples of ratio data except:
A) Weight
B) Birth date
C) Height
D) Pulse rate

Accepted Answer

Birth date is an example of interval data, as the difference between two dates is meaningful but there is no true zero point. Weight, height, and pulse rate are all examples of ratio data, as they have a true zero point and ratios between values are meaningful.

Question 13

________ are the product of wanting to present findings to an audience.
A) Declarative visualizations
B) Static visualizations
C) Exploratory visualizations
D) Interactive visualizations

Accepted Answer

Declarative visualizations are specifically designed to convey information to an audience in a clear and concise manner. They are often used when presenting findings or insights to a non-technical audience.

Question 14

The following are typical examples of nominal data except:
A) Marital status
B) State of residency
C) Temperature
D) Nationality

Accepted Answer

Temperature is an example of continuous data, not nominal data which consists of categories or names. The other options are typical examples of nominal data.

Question 15

Results using the Fahrenheit scale would be best described as an example of:
A) Nominal data
B) Ordinal data
C) Ratio data
D) Interval data

Accepted Answer

The Fahrenheit scale is an example of interval data. Interval data has equal intervals between values, but no true zero point. In Fahrenheit, there is no true zero point as the scale starts at -459.67°F, known as absolute zero, which is the theoretical coldest temperature possible, but not an actual absence of temperature. Therefore, Fahrenheit is an example of interval data.

Question 16

The following are typical examples of nominal data except:
A) Grade point average
B) Zip codes
C) Eye color
D) Gender

Accepted Answer

Grade point average is a type of data that can be measured on an interval or ratio scale, based on the grading system used. Nominal data, on the other hand, categorizes information into groups or labels without any order or value. Zip codes, Eye color, and Gender are typical examples of nominal data as they do not represent any value, but rather categorize individuals based on a certain characteristic.

Question 17

The chart below is an example of a ________. 
A) Word map
B) Word cloud
C) Word chart
D) Word plot

Accepted Answer

The chart shown in the description is an example of a word cloud, which displays frequently used words or phrases in different sizes, with the larger size indicating higher frequency of appearance.

Question 18

The following charts are frequently considered for depicting quantitative data except:
A) Scatter plots
B) Box plots
C) Line chart
D) Pie chart

Accepted Answer

Scatter plots, box plots, and line charts are commonly used for depicting quantitative data as they display numerical values, relationships, and trends. Pie charts are not typically used for quantitative data, as they are best suited for displaying proportions or percentages of a whole.

Question 19

The following are typical examples of ordinal data except:
A) Blood type
B) Political affiliation
C) Education level
D) Letter grade

Accepted Answer

The answer of The following are typical examples of ordinal...

Question 20

The following are typical examples of ratio data except:
A) Currency
B) Temperature
C) Length
D) Interval data

Accepted Answer

Temperature is typically measured on an interval scale, not a ratio scale, because it does not have a true zero point.
