Short Questions
SECTION-B (Marks 24)
Q.2 Attempt any eight parts. The answer to each part should not exceed 3 to 4 lines. (8 x 3 = 24)
(i) Define sample and population.
Answer:
Whole group under discussion is called population for example the whole strength of college student or whole population of a certain district etc.
Whereas part of population is called sample for example 30 students out of 100 students or 300 persons out of district population etc.
(ii) Define descriptive and inferential statistics.
Answer
Descriptive statistics deals with collection and presentation of data in various forms, such as tables, graphs and diagrams and findings averages and other measures of data.
Inferential statistics deals with the testing of hypothesis and inference about population parameter is called Inferential Statistics.
(iii) Define histogram and historigram.
Answer
Histogram
Histogram is a graph of frequency distribution in which class boundaries with suitable width is taken on X-axis whereas respective frequencies are taken on Y-axis. In Histogram relative frequencies are shown in the shape of adjacent rectangular bars.
Historigram
Histogram is a graph of frequency distribution in which class boundaries with suitable width is taken on X-axis whereas respective frequencies are taken on Y-axis. In Histogram relative frequencies are shown in the shape of adjacent rectangular bars. Whereas graph of Time Series or historical series is called historigram.
(iv) Describe any three qualities of a good statistical table.
Answer
A good statistical table must contain at least the following components:
i Table Number ii Title of the Table iii Caption iv Stub v Body vi Head Note vii Footnote
(v) Find arithmetic mean given that x=10 +5U; ∑fu = -40; ∑f=125
Solution
Here ∑fU = -40, ∑f = 125, A = 10 & h = 5
(vi) For a moderately skewed distribution mode = 60 and median = 30. Find mean.
Solution
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
60 = 3(30) – 2(Mean)
60 = 90 – 2(Mean)
2(Mean) = 90 – 60
2(Mean) = 30
Mean = 30/2
Mean = 15
(vii) The logarithm of five values of x are: 1.8062, 1.2304, 1.6532, 1.5798, 1.4314. Find X̄.
Solution
Log of X | Antilog Value of X or X |
1.8062 | 64 |
1.2304 | 17 |
1.6532 | 45 |
1.5798 | 38 |
1.4314 | 27 |
∑X =191 |
(viii) Define price relative and link relative.
Answer
Price Relative is used in fixed base method of Index Number in which each current price is divided by base period price which remains fixed. The formula for price relative is given below:
where Pn is current period price & Po is base period price.
Link Relative is used in chain index in which each period price is divided by previous time period price. The formula for Link relative is given below:
(ix) For the given link relatives 100, 120, 102, 118 & 112, find chain indices.
Solution
Years | L.R |
|
1 | 100 | 100 |
2 | 120 |
|
3 | 102 |
|
4 | 118 |
|
5 | 112 |

(x) Define simple event and composite event.
Answer
Simple Event
An event of sample space contains only one outcome is called simple event. For example getting 6 or 5 or 3 in a throwing of single die is a simple event.
Compound Event
An event of sample space contains at least two outcomes is called compound event these may be denoted by any letter A to Z except S. For example If event consists of the sum of two dice is ‘’5’’ than it consists of four outcomes i.e., (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1) and this is considered to be a compound event
(xi) A pair of dice is rolled find the probability that both faces are same:
Solution
Event:
Same Faces η(A) = 6
All Possible Outcomes
1, 1 | 2, 1 | 3, 1 | 4, 1 | 5, 1 | 6, 1 |
1, 2 | 2, 2 | 3, 2 | 4, 2 | 5, 2 | 6, 2 |
1, 3 | 2, 3 | 3, 3 | 4, 3 | 5, 3 | 6, 3 |
