Q.1 The mid values of a frequency distribution are given as:

Note: Mean 153.53 & standard deviation 16.226 is same as above. To make classes subtract 115 from 125 & divide the result by 2 after that subtract the result from X which is lower class boundary and adding up the result will produce upper class boundary. So we will calculate mode using group data and skewness.

Find (i) The coefficient correlation (ii) The Regression Equation of Y on X.
Solution: (i) The Coefficient Correlation

(vi) Critical Region: Degree of Freedom d.f= (R-1)(C-1)
So d.f= (3-1)(4-1)=6
The Value of Tabulated χ²(0.05,6)=12.59
The Critical Region χ²cal>12.59
(vii) Conclusion: The calculated value of χ² is 9.8328 is less than the tabulated value of χ² 12.59 or 9.8328 falls in the acceptance region. We accept the Null Hypothesis Ho that there is no association between Attributes A’s and B’s.

Solution
Q.8 Mohsin had a note for Rs. 15000 with an interest rate of 6%. The Note was dated January 12, 2003 and maturity date was 90 days after date. On January 27, 2003 he took the note to his bank, which discounted it at a discount rate of 7%. How much did he receive? (Take 360 days in the year)
Solution
Total Days = 90
Days of January = 19
Days of February = 30
Days of March = 30
Days of April = 11
Maturity Date 11th April
Discounted Date 27th January
Days of January = 4
Days of February = 30
Days of March = 30
Days of April = 11Total Days = 75
