Question #1
Assertion (A): In any probability distribution, P(A) + P(A') = 1. Reason (R): A and A' are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events. Choose the correct option:
A. A is true, R is false
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C. A is false, R is true

Question #2
In a moderately skewed distribution, if the mean is 45 and the mode is 39, the median is approximately:
A. 43
B. 41
C. 42
D. 44

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Using the empirical relationship: Mode ≈ 3×Median - 2×Mean. Rearranging: Median ≈ (Mode + 2×Mean)/3 = (39 + 90)/3 = 129/3 = 43. This approximation holds for moderately skewed unimodal distributions.
