Statistics for Business and Economics, 8e (Newbold)
Chapter 2   Describing Data: Numerical

1) If you are interested in comparing variation in sales for small and large stores selling similar goods, which of the following is the most appropriate measure of dispersion?
A) the range
B) the interquartile range
C) the standard deviation
D) the coefficient of variation
Answer:  D
Difficulty:  Easy
Topic:  Measures of Variability
AACSB:  Reflective Thinking Skills
Course LO:  Compare and contrast methods of summarizing and describing data

2) Suppose you are told that the mean of a sample is below the median. What does this information suggest about the distribution?
A) The distribution is symmetric.
B) The distribution is skewed to the right or positively skewed.
C) The distribution is skewed to the left or negatively skewed.
D) There is insufficient information to determine the shape of the distribution.
Answer:  C
Difficulty:  Easy
Topic:  Measures of Central Tendency and Location

C) 0.0
D) -0.3
Answer:  A
Difficulty:  Moderate
Topic:  Measures of Relationships Between Variables

4) Given a set of 25 observations, for what value of the correlation coefficient would we be able to say that there is evidence that a relationship exists between the two variables?
A)  ≥ 0.40
B)  ≥ 0.35
C)  ≥ 0.30
D)  ≥ 0.25
Answer:  A
Difficulty:  Moderate

AACSB:  Analytic Skills
Course LO:  Identify and apply formulas for calculating descriptive statistics

5) Which of the following statements is true about the correlation coefficient and covariance?
A) The covariance is the preferred measure of the relationship between two variables since it is generally larger than the correlation coefficient.
B) The correlation coefficient is a preferred measure of the relationship between two variables since its calculation is easier than the covariance.
C) The covariance is a standardized measure of the linear relationship between two variables.
D) The covariance and corresponding correlation coefficient are represented by different signs, one is negative while the other is positive and vice versa.
Answer:  C
Difficulty:  Moderate
