In constructing a frequency distribution with exclusive class intervals, the upper limit of one class is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In constructing a frequency distribution with exclusive class intervals, the upper limit of one class is:
A. Ignored in frequency counting
B. Excluded from that class and included in the next higher class
C. Always equal to the lower limit of the next class
D. Included in that class
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In exclusive class intervals, the upper limit is not included in the class; observations equal to the upper limit are counted in the next higher class to avoid overlap and ensure mutual exclusivity.

Question #1
Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is expressed per 100,000 live births to:
A. Avoid very small numbers for a relatively rare event
B. Align with census data
C. Match infant mortality rate units
D. Simplify calculation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Maternal deaths are uncommon; using 100,000 as the base yields manageable numbers (e.g., 100-500) instead of tiny decimals, facilitating interpretation and cross-country comparison.

Question #2
Standardized Death Rate allows comparison by:
A. Applying age-specific rates to a common standard population
B. Focusing only on infant deaths
C. Using the same crude death rate formula for all populations
D. Ignoring age structure entirely

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
SDR eliminates age structure effects by calculating what the death rate would be if the population had the age distribution of a standard population, enabling unbiased mortality comparisons.
