(i) How many variables are listed in table 1?
(ii) Classify the variables according to their types (Qualitative / Quantitative).
(iii) Construct a frequency distribution table to represent the summary information of the
Variable “Vehicle Class” and display the results in a pie chart.
Question 1(B)

Complete the following table and answer the questions:

Table 2: Frequency Distribution of Transmission by Number of Gears

Number of Gears

Total

(i) What is the modal response for the variable “Transmission”? (Which has the highest
frequency?)
(ii) What proportion of vehicles have seven gears?
(iii) What proportion of Automatic vehicles have eight gears?
(iv) What proportion of vehicles with six gears are Manual?
(v) Construct a side-by-side bar chart to represent the information g i v e n in table 2.

(i) What proportion of vehicles have mileage between 20 and 30 Highway Mileage?
(ii) What proportion of vehicles have mileage of at least 30 Highway Mileage?
(iii) Construct a histogram to display the data represented in table 3.

Question 2

Recall that 65 purchasers have participated in a survey and have rated the XYZ-Box video game
system. The composite ratings that have been obtained are as follows: [3+3]

39 38 40 40 40 46 43 38 44 44 44
45 42 42 47 46 45 41 43 46 44 42
38 46 45 44 41 45 40 36 48 44 47
42 44 44 43 43 46 43 44 44 46 43
42 40 42 45 39 43 44 44 41 39 45
41 39 46 45 43 47 41 45 45 41

(a) Construct a stem-and-leaf display for the 65 composite ratings.


(b) If we consider a purchaser to be “very satisfied” if his or her composite score is at least
42, can we say that almost all purchasers of the XYZ-Box video game system are “very
satisfied”. Describe in your own words.

Question 3

You are given the following table where the number of stocks falling in the particular price
categories in the Chicago Stock Exchange (CSE): [2+2+2]

Stock Prices ($) No. of Stocks


50 – 60 8
60 – 70 √144
70 – 80 19
80 – 90 24
90 – 100 √25 + X + Y

Here, X & Y are the last two digits of your student ID (i.e., 19100012, 20123478, etc.). [If your ID is
19100012 then, the No. of Stocks in the last row (90 – 100) will be √25+1+2 = 8]. Estimate the
following:
a) Find:
i. Mean
ii. Median
iii. Mode
Question 4

A group of colleagues is going to Safari Park for a day. They arranged their trip into three halves
and planned to travel at a speed of 68 kilometers per hour on their journey to their goal. Their top
speeds were 72 km/h and 88 km/h for the first and second parts, respectively. If they are to meet
their intended average speed, what speed should they maintain throughout the third part of their
journey? [4]

Question 5
Suppose, you spent Tk. 3,500,000 to buy a new car. After the first year, the car depreciates by
40%, 20% after the second year, and 10% after the third year. [3+3]
(a) What is the average rate of depreciation per year after three years?
(b) What will be the value of the car after three years of use?
