1 Give the advantages of graphical representation.
2 What are the characteristics of the mean?
3 Define the term significance testing.
4 State four assumptions for computing Pearson’s correlation.
5 Is the variance of ordinal scale data meaningful? Analyze.
6 What is the relationship between standard error and sample size?
SECTION B
Answer any FOUR questions 4X5=20
7 The following scores were obtained from a statistic exam:
25 32 39 34 22 29 25 22 26 28
24 28 33 36 26 32 36 33 21 32
23 30 31 37 27 35 24 29 30 31
21 22 35 38 28 40 34 32 36 26
29 28 38 21 33 25 29 30 38 28
Using given ungrouped data, construct frequency distribution and
cumulative frequency.
8 A sample of 30 scores is as follows:
X 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
f 1 4 3 7 9 0 0 3 0 0 2 0 1
Compute the variance and standard deviation.
9 Evaluate the various measures of statistical significance.
10 Calculate Pearson’s product moment 'r' from the following set of scores.
Using 0.05 level of significance state the decision to retain or reject
the null hypothesis.
X 23 21 19 18 17 15 15 13 11 8
Y 15 19 13 17 15 13 12 11 10 5
11 What are non-parametric tests? (2 marks) How are they different from
parametric tests? (3 marks)
SECTION C
Answer any ONE question. 1X10=10
12 Evaluate various types of errors in significance testing.
13 A statistics instructor measured student attitudes toward a statistics
course prior to lectures, at the midterm, and after the final exam.
Attitudes were measured on a 16-point scale, with higher scores indicating
more positive attitudes toward the statistics course. Based on the results
shown in the table, test whether or not attitudes differed using the
Friedman test at a 0.05 level of significance. State whether to retain or
reject the null hypothesis.
Student A B C D E
Prior to Lectures 6 4 8 12 5
At the Midterm 8 9 12 11 6
After the Final 12 16 14 16 11

SECTION D
Read the case vignette and answer all the following 1X10=10
questions.
14 A sample of distribution of variable X as follows:
X 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Frequency 1 2 5 8 4 3 4 1 2
Calculate or draw each of the following for the sample distribution X:
a) Quartile Deviation (4 marks)
b) Average Deviation (4 marks)
b) Histogram (2 marks)
