ANSWERS: STATISTICS MCQS


1. (B) 5
2. (D) 1.2
3. (A) lognormal
4. (A) 4
5. (C) F test (Find the solutions below)
SOLUTIONS: STATISTICS MCQS

1. Here total numbers are 6. So,

2. The probability of an event is always between 0 and 1 (including 0 and 1). So, 1.2
cannot be the probability of an event.

3. A lognormal distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose


logarithm is normally distributed. So, if X is lognormal then Y=ln(X) is normal. Similarly,
if Y is normal then X=eY is lognormal.

4. There are 4 numbers in total. So, by using the formula for calculating geometric
mean, we have
