Short Questions
SECTION-B (Marks 24)
Q.2: Attempt any eight parts. The answer to each part should not exceed 3 to 4 line. (8 x 3=24)
(i) Differentiate between population and sample.
Answer
Population Vs Sample
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) The following are the number of children per family in a town obtained from sample survey.
5,8,2,1,5,2,4,6,3,3,4,7,5,6,4,2,1,3,5,4,6,4,5,7,3,5,4,4,5,3,2
Make a discrete frequency distribution fro number of children taking one as class interval.
Solution:
X | f |
1 | 2 |
2 | 4 |
3 | 5 |
4 | 7 |
5 | 7 |
6 | 3 |
7 | 2 |
8 | 1 |
∑f = 31 |
(iii) Calculate median and mode from the following discrete frequency distribution.
X | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
f | 3 | 6 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 2 |
Solution:
X | f | C.F |
1 | 3 | 3 |
2 | 6 | 9 |
3 | 9 | 18 |
4 | 7 | 25 |
5 | 6 | 31 |
6 | 2 | 33 |
∑f =n= 33 |
Median
16.5 falls in C.F of 18 so X = 3 is median
Mode
Maximum frequency is 9 so X = 3 is Mode
(iv) A student obtained the following marks in the following subjects:
Subjects | Urdu | English | Mathematics | Accounting | Commerce |
Marks (X) | 70 | 65 | 80 | 90 | 72 |
Weights (W) | 2 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
Find the weighed arithmetic mean.
Solution:
Subjects | Marks (X) | Weights (W) | WX |
Urdu | 70 | 2 | 140 |
English | 65 | 1 | 65 |
Mathematics | 80 | 4 | 320 |
Accounting | 90 | 5 | 450 |
Commerce | 72 | 3 | 216 |
∑W =15 | ∑WX =1191 |
(v) For a frequency distribution, it is given that D = X – 500, ∑fD =80, ∑f = 10. Find Arithmetic Mean.
Solution:
Data
A= 500, ∑f = 10, ∑fD =80
(vi) If arithmetic mean is 40 and median is 36 of a frequency distribution. Using empirical relationship find the value of mode.
Solution:
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
Mode = 3(36) – 2(40)
Mode = 108 – 80
Mode = 28
(vii) Differentiate between fixed base and chain base method.
Answer
In fixed base method, base period remains fixed whereas in chain base method base period does not remain fixed. On the other hand in fixed base method, we calculate price relative whereas in chain base method, we calculate link relative and then we calculate chain index.
(viii) Calculate chain indices from the following prices:
Year | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 |
Price | 40 | 45 | 48 | 50 | 55 | 70 |
Solution:
Years | Price | Link Relative | Chain Index |
1990 | 40 | 40 | 40 |
1991 | 45 |
|
|
1992 | 48 |
|
|
1993 | 50 |
|
|
1994 | 55 |
|
|
1995 | 70 |

(ix) If Laspeyre’s index = 120, Fisher’s index = 118, then find Paasche’s index number.
Solution:
Take Square root on both sides:
(x) Describe (a) Random Experiment (b) Sample Space
Answer:
(a) Random Experiment
Random experiment is an experiment that is performed in probability distribution in order to know the probability of a particular event.
(b) Sample Space
All possible outcomes of a random experiment are called sample space. Sample space is denoted by Upper Case Letter S.
(xi) An unbiased dice is rolled once. What is the probability of (i) Even Number (ii) Number greater than 2?

Sum | 30 | 625 | |||
∑f or n= | ∑fX= |
Model Class = n/2 = 30/2 = 15 falls in C.f of 22 so data is:
L = 19.5, h = 5, f = 10, n/2 =30/2 = 15 & C = 12
Model Class: Maximum frequency is 10 so data for model class is:
L = 19.5, fm = 10, f1 = 7, f2 = 5 & h = 5
Q.4: Calculate index numbers from the following data for 2005 taking 2000 as base year by: (i) Laspeyre’s Method (ii) Paasche’s Method (iii) Fisher’s Method
Commodities | 2000 | 2005 | ||
Price | Quantity | Price | Quantity | |
A | 5 | 20 | 8 | 30 |
B | 2 | 10 | 5 | 15 |
C | 4 | 25 | 6 | 30 |
D | 8 | 30 | 12 | 40 |
