Short Questions
(i) Differentiate between Descriptive and Inferential Statistics.
Answer:
Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics is a branch of statistics in which data is presented in the form of tables, graphs and charts. Measures of central tendency and dispersion is also a part of descriptive statistics. The aim of descriptive statistics is to present the data in informative way.
Example: Teacher gathering data of student’s marks, calculates averages, variation and presenting in graph.
Inferential Statistics
Inferential statistics is also a branch of statistics in which sample data is used to predict about population. Inferential statistics is used to predict the future trend and fluctuations. Key functions of inferential statistics is to make hypothesis, regression analysis etc.
(ii) Distinguish between Histogram and Historigram.
Answer:
Histogram is a graph of frequency distribution in which class boundaries with suitable width is taken on X-axis where as 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.
(iii) Differentiate between Ungrouped and Grouped data.
Answer:
Ungrouped Data
First hand, newly collected, primary data is called ungrouped data or data which is not collected by someone previously is called ungrouped data.
Grouped Data
Second hand, previously collected, secondary data is called grouped data or data which is collected by someone previously is called grouped data.
(iv)Differentiate between Class limits and Class boundaries.
Answer:
Class Limit
Range of the class is determined by class limit in the frequency distribution. It has two limits, LCL lower class limit and UCL upper class limit. For example in below given class, 146,151,156,161 and so on LCL lower class limits whereas 150, 155, 160, 165, 170 and so on are UCL upper class limits.
Example of Class limits
Height | Number of Students | Class Boundaries |
146–150 | 1 | 145.5–150.5 |
151–155 | 2 | 150.5–155.5 |
156–160 | 6 | 155.5–160.5 |
161–165 | 3 | 160.5–165.5 |
166–170 | 6 | 165.5–170.5 |
171–175 | 1 | 170.5–175.5 |
176–180 | 1 | 175.5–180.5 |
Class Boundaries
The class boundary eliminates the gaps between adjacent classes by defining the real limits of each class. It is the mid-point of the gap between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class. It has also two extremes LCB lower class boundary and UCB upper class boundary. First we subtract the upper class limit from the lower class limit of the second class. Divide the difference by two. Answer should be subtracted from the lower class limits and added to the upper class limits will produce class boundaries as given in above table. In the table above left sided values are lower class boundaries whereas right sided values are upper class boundaries.
(v)List the main parts of a table.
Answer:
- Table Number
- Title of the Table
- Caption
- Stub
- Body
- Head Note
- Foot Note
- Source Note

Solution:
(xiii) Differentiate between Fixed base and chain base method of Index number.
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.
(xiv) If Paasche’s Index number = 74.76 and Fisher’s Index Number = 75.76, then find the Laspeyre’s Price Index Number.
Solution
Paasche’s Index No = 74.76, Fisher’s Index = 75.76
As we know that:
Taking square root on both sides
(xv) Explain the term Regressand and Regressor.
Answer:
An independent variable is also known as a predictor, regressor or explanatory variable. On the other hand a dependent variable is also known as a response variable, regressand, predicted or explained variable.
(xvi) Interpret the meaning when:
r=+1 | r=-1 | r=0 |
r=-0.98 | r=0.2 | r=2 |

n/2=80/2=40, which falls in c.f of 55 so model class is l=135.5, h=2, f=22 & C=33
Maximum frequency is 22 so model class:
(b) If the mode and mean of a moderately asymmetrical series are 16 and 20.2 respectively, compute the value of median.
Solution (b)
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
16 = 3 Median – 2(20.2)
16 = 3 Median – 40.4
3(Median) = 16 + 40.4
3(Median) = 56.4
Median = 56.4/3
Median = 18.8

Regression Equation Y on X
(Y – 9) = 0.4375(X – 13)
(Y – 9) = 0.4375X – 5.6875
Y = 0.4375X – 5.6875 + 9
Y = 0.4375X + 3.3125 or Ŷ = a + bx which will be Ŷ = 3.3125 + 0.4375X
Regression Equation X on Y
(X – 13) = 1.75(Y – 9)
(X – 13) = 1.75Y – 15.75
X = 1.75Y – 15.75 + 13
X = 1.75Y–2.75 or X̂ = a + by which will be X̂ = -2.75 + 1.75y
