Short Questions
Q.2 Attempt any eight parts. The answer to each part should not exceed 3 to 4 lines. (8 x 3 = 24)
(i) What is frequency distribution?
Answer: Frequency distribution is simply the actual occurring of a certain number of a certain number on number between ranges.
(ii) Define population and sample.
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.
(iii) What is a pie-chart?
Answer A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic which is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. Total area of pie chart is about to 360 degree. Certain variable has multiple proportion can be shown graphically through pie chart.
(iv) If l = 28, fm =25, f1=20, f2=18 and h = 7, compute mode.
Solution
(v) Distinguish between variable and constant.
Answer A variable is a data, numbers, figures which does not remain fix for example income, consumption, saving etc whereas constant is a number or figure which remain fix for example Avogadro number, gravitational force, mass of earth etc.
(vi) Define mode.
Answer Mode is a type of average. Its symbol is X̂. In ungroup data mode is the most repeated value whereas in grouped data, the formula to calculate mode is given below:
Where L = lower class boundary, fm = maximum frequency, f1 = frequency above to fm, f2 =frequency below to fm, h= difference of class marks.
(vii) In a certain distribution mean is 45 and mode is 50 then find median.
Solution
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
50 = 3Median – 2(45)
50 = 3Median – 90
3Median = 50 + 90
3Median = 140
Median = 140/3
Median = 46.67
(viii) What is difference 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.
(ix) Compute index numbers by taking 1957 as base year.
Year | 1955 | 1956 | 1957 | 1958 | 1959 | 1960 | 1961 |
Price | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
Solution
Years | Prices |
|
1955 | 14 |
|
1956 | 15 |
|
1957 | 16 | 100 |
1958 | 17 |
|
1959 | 18 |
|
1960 | 19 |
|
1961 | 20 |

(x) Define mutually exclusive events.
Answer If two events A and B have nothing common between them, then they are called or treated as mutually exclusive events. For example in a toss of coin Head and Tail both are mutually exclusive events because they both cannot occur at same time.
(xi) Solve the following:
(a)
(b)

Q.4 Calculate Chain Index numbers for the following data. Use Median as an average.
Year | A | B | C | D |
1958 | 94 | 98 | 82 | 122 |
1959 | 98 | 83 | 97 | 105 |
1960 | 96 | 87 | 95 | 107 |
1961 | 94 | 82 | 97 | 112 |
Solution
Year | A | B | C | D | Median | Chain Index |
1958 | 94 | 98 | 82 | 122 |
| 88 |
1959 | =104.25 | =84.69 | =118.29 | =86.86 |
|
|
1960 | =97.95 | =104.81 | =97.93 | =101.90 |
|
|
1961 | =97.917 | =94.25 | =102.10 | =104.67 |
