Relative Measure of Skewness Multiple Choice Questions with Answers – PDF Download

MCQ 1: If for a distribution the difference of first quartile and median is greater than difference of median and third quartile then the distribution is classified as:

1. absolute open ended
2. positively skewed
3. negatively skewed
4. not skewed at all

MCQ 2: If the first quartile and third quartile are as 32 and 35 respectively with the median of 20 then distribution is skewed to:

1. lower tail
2. upper tail
3. close end tail
4. open end tail

MCQ 3: The method of calculating skewness which is based on the positions of quartiles and median in a distribution is called:

1. Gary's coefficient of skewness
2. Sharma's coefficient of skewness
3. Bowley's coefficient of skewness
4. Jack Karl's coefficient of skewness

MCQ 4: The median of a moderately skewed distribution is 8, third quartile is 12, first quartile is 8 and inter-quartile range is 4 then relative coefficient of skewness is:

1. ±8
2. ±1
3. ±9
4. ±11

MCQ 5: For the Karl Pearson's skewness coefficient the value of skewness must be in limits:

1. ±3
2. ±5
3. ±4
4. ±2
