BCS-040 : STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES


Time : 2 hours Maximum Marks : 50

Note :
(i) Attempt both sections, i.e., Section A and Section B.
(ii) Attempt any four questions from Section A.
(iii) Attempt any three questions from Section B.
(iv) Use of non-scientific calculator is allowed.

SECTION A
1. A random sample of 50 students of mathematics
taken from a total of 200, showed a mean of
75 and a standard deviation of 10. Find
95% confidence limits for mean. (Given Z = 1·96) 5
2. Calculate the mean and standard deviation from
the following data : 5
Marks No. of Students
0 – 10 10
10 – 20 9
20 – 30 25
30 – 40 30
40 – 50 16
50 – 60 10

3. In order to find the correlation coefficient
between two variables X and Y from 20 pairs of
observations, the following calculations were
made :
 X = 15,  Y = + 6,  XY = 50,
 X2 = 61 and  Y2 = 90
Calculate the correlation coefficient and the slope
of the regression line of Y on X. 5

4. Differentiate between Simple Random Sampling


and Systematic Random Sampling. 5

5. List the advantages and disadvantages of using a


sampling approach instead of a census approach
for studying the characteristics of data. 5

SECTION B

6. Describe the following tests in detail : 10


(a) Time series and its components
(b) Chi-square test for independence of
attributes

7. (a) Compute the three yearly moving average of


the following data : 5
Day Sales
1 45
2 46
3 48
4 47
5 58
6 58
7 51
8 52
9 53
10 45
11 51
12 61
(b) An automobile tyre manufacturing company
claims that the average life of a particular
grade of tyre is more than 20,000 km when
used under normal driving conditions. A
random sample of 16 tyres was tested and
mean and standard deviation of 22,000 km
and 5,000 km respectively were calculated.
Assuming the life of the tyres in km to be
normally distributed, decide whether the
manufacturer’s claim is true ? Use 5% level
of significance. (Given t0·05, 15 = 1·75) 5

BCS-040 3 P.T.O.
8. The following contingency table presents the
analysis of 300 persons according to hair colour
and eye colour :
Eye Colour
Hair Colour
Blue Grey Brown
Fair 30 10 40
Brown 40 20 40
Black 50 30 40
Test the hypothesis that there is an association
between hair colour and eye colour at 5% level of
significance. (Given that  2 = 9.49)
0.05, 4
10

9. A computer engineer identifies A, B and C as


three methods to do a certain job. To determine
how long the operator takes to do the job when
each of these methods is used, the engineer asks
four operators to do the job using the method A,
another four operators to do the job using the
method B, and so on. Each operator’s time (in
minutes) is shown below :
A B C
19 18 21
17 16 20
22 15 19
20 14 19
Construct the relevant analysis of variance table
and test the hypothesis that the average time of
all operators are equal at 5% level of significance. 10
(Given that F0·05, (2, 9) = 4.26)
