a. Is median a measure of position?
b. Which is True?
i. Median, Percentiles and Quartiles are measures of Position
ii. For the interpretation of standard deviation, Empirical Rule applies to any data set.
a. Yes, median is a measure of position.
( Median is a measure of central tendancy which indicate the middle-most position of any data set after ranking them.)
b.i. Yes,Median, Percentiles and Quartiles are all measures of position.
( Median is a measure of central tendancy which indicate the middle-most position of any data set after ranking them.A percentile is a number where a certain percentage of data fall below that number. For example: kth percentile is the value that is greater than k% of the data values after ranking them. The Quartiles are the 3 values that divide the data into 4 equally sized groups.First quartile is denoted by Q1 and has 25% of the values less than it. Third quartile is denoted by Q3 and has 25% of the values greater than it. Second quartile, Q2= median of the data set. All three are common measures of central tendency)
ii. No, For the interpretation of standard deviation, Epirical rule doesnot apply to any data set.
( Empirical rule can be only applied for a data set which is normally distributed.)

15 Which of the following is a measure of dispersion? a percentiles b quartiles c interquartile range d All of the answers are correct.
I want to know the answer and explanation of (d) and (f). 2. Percentiles and Quartiles Given a data set with n data values yvi < /2 ..S yn, define the pth percentile of the data set to be the element at index ceiling, and it means that we always round up to the next integer. For example, suppose we have a data set with n - 13 elements, and we want to calculate the 25th percentile of the data...

Which one of the following is always true? Select one: a. The coefficient of variation is a measure of relative dispersion that expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, for any data on a ratio scale and an interval scale. b. The coefficient of variation measures variability in a positively skewed data set relative to the size of the median. c. The interquartile range is very unique in the sense that it is a measure of central...
