251. The Number of road accidents is the example of____________?
- A. variable
- B. Constant
- C. Discrete variable
- D. Continuous variable
Explanation: Road accidents are counted in whole numbers such as 0, 1, or 2, so their number is a discrete variable. A continuous variable can take any value within an interval, such as height or temperature.
Correct answer: Discrete variable252. Statistics has handicap dealing with_____________?
- A. Constant
- B. Variable
- C. Quantitative data
- D. Qualitative data
Explanation: Traditional statistical methods are mainly designed for quantitative data, so statistics has difficulty handling purely qualitative characteristics unless they are converted into categories or numerical codes. The other options do not describe this limitation.
Correct answer: Qualitative data253. Village Patwari collecting the data about cotton crops is the example of_____________?
- A. variable
- B. Constant
- C. Primary data
- D. Secondary data

- A. Other sciences
- B. physics
- C. Business
- D. Literary subjects
Explanation: Statistics helps test and verify laws or relationships proposed in other sciences by comparing them with observed numerical data. Physics is only one science among many, so the broader option is appropriate.

- A. Useless
- B. Various Methods
- C. Unavoidable
- D. Samples
Explanation: Planning depends on data about current conditions, trends, resources, and likely outcomes, so statistical use is unavoidable. “Various methods” describes how statistics may be used, not whether it is necessary.
Correct answer: Unavoidable259. Statistics is the backbone of_____________?
- A. Economics
- B. Mathematics
- C. Research
- D. Computer
