Assertion(A): Using a questionnaire as a tool enables covering large samples and a wide geographic area at a relatively reasonable
cost.
Reasoning (R) : Questionnaires usually have a high response rate.
Code [Question ID = 4188]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16750]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16749]

23)
Correct Answer :-
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16751]
Assertion (A): The correlation coefficient requires that the underlying relationship between the two variables under consideration is
linear
Reasoning (R): The correlation coefficient can only then theoretically assume any value in the interval between +1 and ?1.
[Question ID = 4193]
1. A is true but R is false [Option ID = 16770]
2. A is false but R is true [Option ID = 16771]

4. Both A and R are false [Option ID = 16772]
Correct Answer :-
Both A and R are true [Option ID = 16769]
Assertion (A): A survey that asks the respondent to indicate their age and includes response categories of age in years 20-30, 30-40,
40-50 and 50+, violates an important rule.
Reasoning (R): For constructing closed-ended items for questionnaires, the categories should be mutually exclusive.
Code: [Question ID = 4191]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect [Option ID = 16762]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]
3. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct [Option ID = 16764]
4. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect [Option ID = 16763]
Correct Answer :-
Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]
Assertion (A): A one-tailed test provides more power to detect an effect, whenever you have a hypothesis about the direction of an
effect.
Reasoning (R): When using a significance level of .05, a one-tailed test allots half of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in one
direction and half of your alpha to testing statistical significance in the other direction.
Code [Question ID = 4189]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16754]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16753]

4. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16755]
Correct Answer :-
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16755]
Assertion (A): The sign test is appropriate in place for a one-sample t-test or in place of a paired t-test if the data measurement is not
on ratio or interval scale
Reasoning (R): The sign test is used to test the null hypothesis that the median of a distribution is equal to a calculated value.
Code [Question ID = 4190]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16758]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16757]

4. Both A and R are false [Option ID = 16768]
Correct Answer :-
A is false but R is true [Option ID = 16767]
Assertion(A): Using a questionnaire as a tool enables covering large samples and a wide geographic area at a relatively reasonable
cost.
Reasoning (R) : Questionnaires usually have a high response rate.
Code [Question ID = 4188]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16750]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16749]

Correct Answer :-
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16751]
Assertion (A): The correlation coefficient requires that the underlying relationship between the two variables under consideration is
linear
Reasoning (R): The correlation coefficient can only then theoretically assume any value in the interval between +1 and ?1.
[Question ID = 4193]
1. A is true but R is false [Option ID = 16770]
2. A is false but R is true [Option ID = 16771]

Assertion (A): A survey that asks the respondent to indicate their age and includes response categories of age in years 20-30, 30-40,
40-50 and 50+, violates an important rule.
Reasoning (R): For constructing closed-ended items for questionnaires, the categories should be mutually exclusive.
Code: [Question ID = 4191]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect [Option ID = 16762]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]

4. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect [Option ID = 16763]
Correct Answer :-
Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]
Assertion (A): A one-tailed test provides more power to detect an effect, whenever you have a hypothesis about the direction of an
effect.
Reasoning (R): When using a significance level of .05, a one-tailed test allots half of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in one
direction and half of your alpha to testing statistical significance in the other direction.

Assertion (A): The sign test is appropriate in place for a one-sample t-test or in place of a paired t-test if the data measurement is not
on ratio or interval scale

Assertion (A) : In an interview schedule, the written list of questions are recorded by the interviewee.
Reasoning (R): Face to face interactions are the most appropriate for conducting an interview.

4. Both A and R are false [Option ID = 16768]
Correct Answer :-
A is false but R is true [Option ID = 16767]
Assertion(A): Using a questionnaire as a tool enables covering large samples and a wide geographic area at a relatively reasonable
cost.
Reasoning (R) : Questionnaires usually have a high response rate.
Code [Question ID = 4188]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16750]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16749]

23)
Correct Answer :-
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16751]
Assertion (A): The correlation coefficient requires that the underlying relationship between the two variables under consideration is
linear
Reasoning (R): The correlation coefficient can only then theoretically assume any value in the interval between +1 and ?1.
[Question ID = 4193]
1. A is true but R is false [Option ID = 16770]
2. A is false but R is true [Option ID = 16771]

Both A and R are true [Option ID = 16769]
Assertion (A): A survey that asks the respondent to indicate their age and includes response categories of age in years 20-30, 30-40,
40-50 and 50+, violates an important rule.
Reasoning (R): For constructing closed-ended items for questionnaires, the categories should be mutually exclusive.
Code: [Question ID = 4191]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect [Option ID = 16762]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]
3. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct [Option ID = 16764]
4. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect [Option ID = 16763]
Correct Answer :-
Both (A) and (R) are correct [Option ID = 16761]
Assertion (A): A one-tailed test provides more power to detect an effect, whenever you have a hypothesis about the direction of an
effect.
Reasoning (R): When using a significance level of .05, a one-tailed test allots half of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in one
direction and half of your alpha to testing statistical significance in the other direction.
Code [Question ID = 4189]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16754]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16753]
3. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct [Option ID = 16756]

Correct Answer :-
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect. [Option ID = 16755]
Assertion (A): The sign test is appropriate in place for a one-sample t-test or in place of a paired t-test if the data measurement is not
on ratio or interval scale
Reasoning (R): The sign test is used to test the null hypothesis that the median of a distribution is equal to a calculated value.
Code [Question ID = 4190]
1. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect. [Option ID = 16758]
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct. [Option ID = 16757]
