Comprehension # 2 (Q. No. 12 to 14)
To analyse data using mean, median and mode, we need to use the most appropriate measure of
central tendency. The mean is useful for predicting future results when there are no extreme values in
the data set. The median may be more useful than the mean when there are extreme values in the data
set as it is not affected by the extreme values. The median is most commonly quoted figure used to
measure property prices as mean property price is affected by a few expensive properties that are not
representative of the general property market. The mode is useful when the most common item or
characteristic of a data set is required. The mode has applications in printing. It is important to print
more of the most popular books.

PART - I : PRACTICE TEST PAPER

This Section is not meant for classroom discussion. It is being given to promote self-study and self
testing amongst the Resonance students.
Max. Marks : 120 Max. Time : 1 Hr.
Important Instructions :
1. The test is of 1 hour duration and max. marks 120.
2. The test consists 30 questions, 4 marks each.
3. Only one choice is correct 1 mark will be deducted for incorrect response. No deduction from the total
score will be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet.
4. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response in any
question will be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly
as per instructions 3 above.
