Q2.
a) Explain the approaches to define probability.
b) State the addition and multiplication rules of probability giving an example of each
case.
Answer:
a.
Approaches to define Probability
There are four approaches to define Probability. They are as follows:
1) Classical / mathematical / priori approach
2) Statistical / relative frequency / empirical / posteriori approach

2. Q3.
a) The procedure of testing hypothesis requires a researcher to adopt several steps. Describe in
brief all such steps.
b) Explain the components of time series.
Answer.
a.
Steps for procedure of testing hypothesis
Five Steps in Hypothesis Testing:
1. Specify the Null Hypothesis
2. Specify the Alternative Hypothesis
3. Set the Significance Level (a)
Q4. a. What is a Chi-square test? Point out its applications. Under what conditions is
this test applicable? (Meaning of Chi-square test, Applications, Conditions)
b) Discuss the types of measurement scales with examples.
Answer:
a.
The Chi-square test is one of the most commonly used non-parametric tests in statistical
work. The Greek Letter c2 is used to denote this test. c2 describe the magnitude of
discrepancy between the observed and the expected frequencies. The value of c2 is
calculated as:
