16.   When the data are classified only on the basis of descriptive characteristics which cannot
      be quantified is known as
      (1) Geographical classification            (2) Chronological classification
      (3) Qualitative classification             (4) Quantitative classification

17.   Which one of the following is a false description ?
      (1) In a moderately asymmetrical distribution, the empirical relationship between Mean,
          Mode and Median suggested by Karl Pearson is
          Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)
      (2) Coefficient of variation is an absolute measure of dispersion.
      (3) Measure of skewness indicates the direction and extent of skewness in the
          distribution of numerical values in the data set.
      (4) Kurtosis refers to the degree of flatness or peakedness in the region around the mode
          of a frequency curve.

19.   Statement – I :    When the null hypothesis is true but as per the hypothesis-testing, it is
                         rejected, it is known as beta type error in hypothesis testing.
      Statement – II :   Chi-square test is exclusively a non-parametric test.
      Codes :
      (1) Both the statements are true.
      (2) Both the statements are false.
      (3) Statement – I is true while Statement – II is false.
      (4) Statement – I is false while Statement – II is true.
