Q. What are some of the advantages of using choropleth maps?

1. They are effective when data is aggregated into enumeration units.
2. They can be used to map raw data.

Q. Choropleth maps use different shading and colouring to display the quantity or value in defined areas.

1. True
2. False

Q. Choropleth maps are used to represent variables such as the density of population, literacy rates, and sex ratio. How can we classify data to create a choropleth map?

1. Manually
2. Non-sequentially
3. Equal intervals and quintiles
4. Natural breaks

Q.
Which subdivision has a population density of <100?

1. Amravati
2. Chikhaldara
3. Achalpur
4. Varud

Q. Which thematic map uses shades, patterns, or tints of multiple colours to depict the distribution of geographical variables?

1. Dot maps
2. Isopleth maps
3. Choropleth maps
4. Series maps

Q. How many categories are kept in choropleth map method?

1. It is purely our discretion
2. Depends on the topic
3. Depends on the range
4. 2-3

Q. The patterns of choropleth map categories become darker with the increasing values of the given variable.

1. True
2. False

Q. What is a range?

1. Difference between the second highest and highest recorded data
2. The highest recorded data
3. The lowest recorded data
4. Difference between the highest and lowest recorded data

Q. Which map represents the data related to administrative units?

1. Dot map
2. Choropleth map
3. Isopleth map
4. Dot map and choropleth map

Q.
How many categories are constructed in the given map?

1. five
2. four
3. three
4. two

Q. While preparing choropleth maps, the statistical data of the variable is collected by conducting surveys.

1. True
2. False

Q. Which thematic map uses sequential colour schemes to classify and depict data into ranges?

1. Navigational maps
2. Dot maps
3. Choropleth maps
4. Isopleth maps

Q. How is the data shown in choropleth map?

1. Shades
2. Patterns
3. Tints of multiple shades
4. Dots

Q. Which of the following statements is not true about choropleth maps?

1. It uses colour schemes, shades, and patterns to classify data quantitatively.
2. The data available is aggregated into a number of classes.
3. A unique colour, shade, or pattern is used to depict the different classes.
4. Different data classification techniques produce the same choropleth map.

Q. Which values from the given data are taken into consideration in choropleth method?

1. Middle
2. Highest
3. Lowest
4. Most occuring

Q. Assertion (A): Unclassed choropleth maps lead to an unfiltered view of data.
Reason (R): They reduce subjectivity by highlighting minor differences in data.

1. A is false but R is true.
2. A is true but R is false.
3. Both A and R are false.
4. Both A and R are true.

Q.

In classification techniques the dependent variables is…

1. Discrete/Categorical

2. Continuous

3. Bounded from above

4. Bounded from below
