For inclusive class intervals like 10-19, 20-29, the true class boundaries are obtained by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

For inclusive class intervals like 10-19, 20-29, the true class boundaries are obtained by:
A. Subtracting 0.5 from lower limit and adding 0.5 to upper limit
B. Subtracting 0.5 from both limits
C. Leaving them unchanged
D. Adding 0.5 to both limits
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Inclusive series have gaps; adjusting by half the gap (0.5) gives continuous boundaries: 9.5-19.5, 19.5-29.5, etc.

Question #1
In probability, the sample space for rolling a single die is:
A. {even, odd}
B. {prime, composite}
C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
D. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The sample space lists all possible elementary outcomes; for a standard six-sided die, these are the integers 1 through 6, each equally likely in a fair roll.

Question #2
A fixed base index uses:
A. Geometric mean of multiple base periods
B. A different base period for each time point
C. The immediately preceding period as the base for each calculation
D. A single, constant base period for all comparisons

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fixed base index selects one period as the base (index=100) and expresses all other periods relative to it, enabling consistent long-term trend analysis without base drift.

Question #3
Which graphical representation is most appropriate for displaying a cumulative frequency distribution?
A. Histogram
B. Ogive (cumulative frequency curve)
C. Bar diagram
D. Pie chart

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An ogive plots cumulative frequencies against class boundaries, providing a visual representation of cumulative distribution and enabling estimation of medians and percentiles.
