Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be
approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.
Q.1 A statistical survey is a scientific process of collection and analysis of numerical data.
Explain the stages of statistical survey. Describe the various methods for collecting data
in a statistical survey.
Answer : Meaning of statistical survey :
A statistical survey is a scientific process of collection and analysis of numerical data. Statistical
survey are use to collect numerical information about units in population. Surveys involve asking
questions to individuals. Surveys of human populations are common in government, health, social
science and marketing sectors.
Stages of statistical survey (Listing and Explanation) :
Q.2 Analysis of daily wages of workers in two organisations A and B yielded the following
results:
Org A
Org B
No of worker
10
20
Average
daily 30
wages(rs.)
variance
25
15
100
Obtain the average daily wages and the standard deviation of wages of all workers in the
two organisations taken together. Which organisation is more equitable in regard to
wages?

2. Ans: Let x1 , x2 , n1, n2, σ1 , σ2 respectively denote mean, no. of workers and standard deviation of
A and B.
Then : x1 = 30 , x2 = 15, n1 = 10, n2 = 20 , σ1= sqrt (25) = 5 , σ2 = sqrt(100) = 10 (given)
So combined mean X12 = n1x1 +
Q.3 a. State the addition and multiplication rules of probability giving an example of each
case.
Answer : Addition rule of probability and an example:
If two events A and B are mutually exclusive then
P(A ∪B) = P(A) +P(B)
This is the simplified version of the Addition Law. However, when A and B are not mutually
exclusive, A ∩ _= ∅, it can be shown that a more general law applies:
B
P(A ∪B) = P(A) +P(B)−P(A ∩
B)
Of course if A ∩B = ∅ then, since P(∅) = 0 this general expression reduces to the simpler
version.
b. In a bolt factory machines A, B, C manufacture 25, 35 and 40 percent of the total output. Of
their total output 5, 4 and 2 percent are defective respectively. A bolt is drawn at random and is
found to be defective. What are the probabilities that it was manufactured by machines A, B and
C?
Ans : Let Ai (i=1,2,3) be the events of drawing a bolt produced by machine A, B , C respectively. From
the data we know that :
P(A1) = 0.25 P(A2) = 0.35 P(A3) = 0.40
From the additional information we know that
B = The event of drawing a defective bolt
Q. 4 a. What is a Chi-square test? Point out its applications. Under what conditions is this test
applicable?
Ans : Chi-square test:
A chi-squared test, also referred to as chi-square test or χ² test, is any statistical hypothesis test in
which the sampling distribution of the test statistic is a chi-squared distribution when the null
hypothesis is true. Also considered a chi-squared test is a test in which this is asymptotically true,
meaning that the sampling distribution (if the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate a
chi-squared distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size large enough.

3. b. Discuss the types of measurement scales with examples.
Answer :
1.Nominal:
Nominal scales are naming scales. They represent categories where there is no basis for ordering the
categories. Nominal Scale Examples
diagnostic categories
sex of the participant
group affiliation
2. Ordinal:
Q. 5 Explain the Components of Time series.
Answer: Meaning of Time series :
A time series is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive points in time spaced at
uniform time intervals. Examples of time series are the daily closing value of the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and the annual flow volume of the Nile River at Aswan. Time series are very
frequently plotted via line charts. Time series are used in statistics, signal processing, pattern
recognition, econometrics, mathematical finance, weather forecasting, earthquake prediction,
electroencephalography, control engineering,
Q.6 a. What is analysis of variance? What are the assumptions of the technique?
Ans : Analysis of variance :
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a collection of statistical models used to analyze the differences
between group means and their associated procedures (such as “variation” among and between
groups). In ANOVA setting, the observed variance in a particular variable is partitioned into
components attributable to different sources of variation. In its simplest form, ANOVA provides a
statistical test of whether or not the means of several groups are equal, and therefore generalizes ttest to more than two groups. Doing multiple
