MCQs BASED PRELIMINARY TEST (MPT) / CSS COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION-2022

• (C) Project 

Option C: A project does not belong in a “book”. A book contains a glossary and chapters themselves, defining and organizing content. However, a project is typically an independent activity or assignment rather than it being a regular element of the book itself.

• (A) 4

The correct answer is A, 4. If the expression says that all cows have died except four, then it means out of the ten given cows, there are 4 left alive, so the number of cows left behind will be 4.

• (B) Scholastic Assessment Test

“SAT” stands for (B) Scholastic Assessment Test. The SAT is used for admission to most colleges in the United States to assess students’ readiness for college and provides a consistency in one data point when evaluating applicants for admission.

• (B) Fairness and objectiveness

The “SAT” is useful to judge the (B) Fairness and objectiveness. SAT has been prepared to fairly quantify the readiness of an individual for a further higher education at the college level and conduct fair comparisons between students of one school and other schools of different educational curricula.

• (B) Count

A pictogram will be appropriate for data that involves B. Count. The quantities of the data may best be represented with symbols or pictures; therefore, a pictogram will be quite suitable for the visual representation and comparison of counts in several items.

• (A) Sectors

A pie diagram is suitable for dividing up the components of a factor in:
A) Sectors

The pie chart is a circular statistical graph divided into slices to represent numerical proportions. Each pie slice reveals a certain category, where the size of the pie slice comes in proportion to the frequency or percentage of data it represents.

Therefore, the components of a factor are divided with respect to sectors in a pie chart.

• (A) Increased by 3

If we add a constant 3 to each observation of a data set, then the mean: A) Increases by 3. If a constant is added to every data point, the mean shifts by the exact same constant value. Since, in this case, every single observation in the data set is increased by 3, so will the mean of that data set.

• (A) 5

The arithmetic mean is 5.

The arithmetic mean is just the sum of the numbers divided by the count of numbers. In this case, we have:

Numbers:5, 5, 5
Count: 3 It follows that mean = (5 + 5 + 5) /3 = 15/3 = 5.

Thus, the correct answer is A 5.

• (B) 55

The formula for range helps in determining the maximum value in a set as follows:

Range=Maximum value−Minimum value

Given the minimum is 5, and the range is 50, we can set up an equation:

50=Maximum value−5

Solving for the maximum value,
Maximum value=50+5=55

Thus, the maximum value of the set is 55.

• (C) 0 to 1

The probability can take any value from 0 to 1. Probability ranges from 0 for impossible events to 1 for certain events. Any value between 0 and 1 explains the occurrence of different outcomes.
