Like crude rates, SDR is typically expressed per 1,000 standard population to maintain consistency and readability, though the base can vary by convention (e.g., per 100,000 for rare events).
Read the following statements about frequency distribution: 1. Exclusive class intervals ensure continuity. 2. Inclusive class intervals leave no gaps. 3. Sturges' rule helps determine the number of classes. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
Exclusive intervals (e.g., 0-10, 10-20) are continuous; inclusive intervals (0-9, 10-19) have gaps. Sturges' rule gives k = 1 + 3.322 log N. Statement 2 is wrong because inclusive intervals do have gaps.
Explanation:
Weighted mean assigns different weights to observations based on their relative importance, providing a more accurate central value when some data points carry more significance than others.
