Short Questions
Q.2: Attempt any eight parts. The answer to each part should not exceed 3 to 4 line. (8 x 3=24)
(i) Define population and sample.
Answer:
Population
Whole group under discussion is called population for example the whole strength of college student
or whole population of a certain district etc.
Sample
Selective part of population is called sample for example 30 students out of 100 students or 300 persons out of district population etc.
(ii) Name any three sources of primary data.
Answer
- Direct Personal Investigation
- Indirect Investigation
- Local Source
- Questionnaire Method
- Registration
- Questionnaire by Post
- Through Enumerators
- Through Telephone
(iii) Describe the importance of statistics in science.
Answer: Statistics is the backbone of scientific inquiry. It helps to analyze data, make conclusions and test hypothesis in every field of science. It helps to conclude reliable findings and increase or enhance knowledge.
(iv) List three reasons for organizing data into a frequency distribution.
Answer:
- Summarization
- Pattern Recognition
- Comparison
(v) Arithmetic mean of 20 values is 25. By adding 4 more values the mean becomes 30. Find the four values if the ratio between these values is 1:2:3:4
Solution
Sum of four added values = 720 – 500 = 220
Ratio of four values = 1:2:3:4
Sum of ratios = 1+2+3+4=10
(vi) Given X = 100 + 2u, ∑u=40, n = 20, find mean.
Solution
(vii) Given l = 196, f = 22, h = 11, n = 80 and c = 32. Find median.
Solution
(viii) The logarithms of 3 values of x are 1.7076, 1.6812 and 1.6532. Find the mean of X values.
Solution
Log Values of X | X = Antilog of Log X |
1.7076 | 51 |
1.6812 | 48 |
1.6532 | 45 |
∑X= 144 |
(ix) Given po = 5, 4, 3 and qo = 70, 75, 80. Find ∑W.
Solution
po | qo | W=poqo |
5 | 70 | 350 |
4 | 75 | 300 |
3 | 80 | 240 |
∑W= 890 |
(x) Distinguish between simple and composite index numbers.
Answer:
In simple index number price or quantity of a single product is taken whereas in composite index, the price or quantity is taken related to multiple products. Simple Index can be calculated through fixed base and chain base method whereas composite index further has two types namely weighted and unweighted index.

172–180 | 2 | 171.5—180.5 | 176 | 40 |
Sum | 40 | |||
∑f=n |
Modal Class for Median
n/2 = 40/2=20 falls in c.f of 29 so l = 144.5, h=9, f=12 & c = 17
Modal Class for Mode
Maximum frequency is 12 so l = 144.5, fm = 12, f1 = 9, f2 = 5 & h = 9

Q.5: (a) The following scores are made by two batsmen A and B in a series of innings…………Which batsman is better as a run getter?
Q.5: (a) The following scores are made by two batsmen A and B in a series of innings.
A | 84 | 29 | 12 | 15 | 6 | 73 | 7 | 19 | 199 | 36 |
B | 13 | 0 | 47 | 12 | 76 | 48 | 4 | 51 | 37 | 48 |
Which batsman is better as a run getter?
Solution
A X1 | 84 | 29 | 12 | 15 | 6 | 73 | 7 | 19 | 199 | 36 | ∑X1= 480 |
B X2 | 13 | 0 | 47 | 12 | 76 | 48 | 4 | 51 | 37 | 48 | ∑X1= 336 |
Result
Mean of Batsman A is 48 which is greater than the mean of batsman B 33.6 so Batsman A is better run getter than Batsman B.
(b) Compute base year weighted and current year weighted price index numbers for the given data: ∑poqo = 35310, ∑p1qo = 41140, ∑p1q1 = 46707, ∑poq1 = 39644
