ANS Classification is done to group things in such a way that each group consists of
similar items, e.g., we classify our wardrobe into different types of clothes or dresses
according to the occasions on which they are to be worn. We put party wears, school
uniform, casual daily wears and night wears separately.
2) WHAT ARE OBJECTIVES OF CLASSIFICATION EXPLAIN?
ANS The primary objectives of data classification are: To consolidate the volume of data
in such a way that similarities and differences can be quickly understood. Figures can
consequently be ordered in sections with common traits. To aid comparison. To point out
the important characteristics of the data at a flash.
3) WHAT ARE VARIOUS CHARACTERSTICS OF GOOD CLASSIFICATION.EXPLAIN BY GIVING EXAMPLE?
ANS
i) COMPREHENSIVENESS
ii) CLARITY
iii) HOMOGENEITY
iv) SUITABILITY
v) ELASTIC
4) WHAT IS CONCEPT OF VARIABLES AND WHAT ARE ITS TYPES?
ANS Variables are characteristics or qualities of a person, animal, or object that you can
count or measure. As the term suggests, the value of the variable can vary, or change. For
example, a person’s age, a dog’s weight, or the height of a building are all different types of
variables.
5) DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN VARIABLES AND ATTRIBUTES?
ANS
6) WHAT IS MEANT BY STASTISTICAL DATA EXPAIN AND ILLUSTRATE WITH VARIOUS TYPES?
ANS Statistical data refers to the collection of quantitative information or facts that have
been systematically gathered, organised, and analysed. These types of data can be collected
from various methods, such as surveys, experiments, observations, or even from existing
sources.
7) EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF
i) CLASS INTERVAL- class interval can be defined as the difference between the upper and
lower class limit of a frequency distribution table. In other words, it is the width of each
class. A grouped frequency distribution can be sorted either on the basis of exclusive or
inclusive class intervals
ii) FREQUENCY- Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the
number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also occasionally
referred to as temporal frequency for clarity and to distinguish it from spatial frequency.
iii) MAGNITUDE- The term magnitude is defined as “how much of a quantity”. For instance,
the magnitude can be used for explaining the comparison between the speeds of a car
and a bicycle. It can also be used to explain the distance travelled by an object or to
explain the amount of an object in terms of its magnitude.
iv) MID VALUE- Median, in statistics, is the middle value of the given list of data when
arranged in an order. The arrangement of data or observations can be made either in
ascending order or descending order.
8) EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING CLASSIFCATIONS
3. Qualitative classification: Data are classified with reference to descriptive characteristics like sex,
caste, religion literacy etc.
4. Quantitative classification: Data are classified on the basis of some measurable characteristics
such as height, age, weight, income, marks of students.
