fa) Define the terms population and sample. Give
examples of
(i) Finite population and its sample, and
(ii) Infinite population and its sample.
(b) A variable takes the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with |
frequencies 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1 respectively. |
Find:
(i) Arithmetic Mean
(ii) Variance
(iii) Coefficient of Skewness (B,).
Also, comment on skewness of the data.
{a) Write a short note on ‘histogram'. Which average
can be obtained from it? Explain the method of
finding out this average from a histogram. Also,
write down the formula for the computation of
this average for frequency distribution.

(b) Find mean devi
2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30,
deviation of the series:
and verify that the latter is greater than the former.
3. (a) Define kurtosis. How is it measured? Represent
the different values of kurtosis graphically.
(b) What are the different measures of central
tendency? A train runs 25 kilometers (km) at a
speed of 30 km/hr., 50 km at a speed of 40 km/
hr., and finally covers the remaining distance of
125 km at a speed of 20km/hr. What is the average
speed for the entire distance?
4, (a) Explain the term "dispersion". Describe different
measures of dispersion. Which is the best measure
of dispersion and why?
(b) Define Bowley's coefficient of skewness. What
are its limits? What is the value of Bowley's
coefficient of skewness:
P:1:0.

(i) If the distribution is symmetrical, and
(ii) If 1", 2"¢ and 3" quartiles are 30, 38, and 70
respectively?
5. (a) Define r" moment about mean (p,) and r* moment
about origin (1). Express the first four moments
about mean in terms of the moments about origin.
Express mean and variance in terms of moments.
(b) In two sets of variables X and Y with 50
observations each, the following data were
observed:
><
=10,0x=3, Y=6, oy =2andr(X%Y) =03.
But on subsequent verification it was found that
one value of X i. e. 10 and the corresponding
value of Y i. e. 6 were inaccurate and hence
weeded out. For the remaining 49 pairs of values,
find the new value of r(X, Y).

correlation coefficient?
‘fect of change of origin and scale
on the correlation coefficient r(X, Y)? If r(X. Y)
>. (a) Define ‘line of regression’, Why are there two
such lines? Write their equations. What is the point
of intersection of these two lines?
(b) What is curve fitting? Find the line of best fit Y
= a+ bX to the given set of data:

8 (a) The marks obtained by 5 students in Mathematics
(X) and Statistics (Y) are (75, 85), (30, 45), (60,
64), (80, 91) and (53, 58). Find the rank correlation
coefficient between X and Y and interpret your
result
(b) State the properties of regression coefficients,
Can Y = 10+ 1.2 X and X =-2-0.7Y be regression
lines of Y on X and X on Y, respectively? Explain
your answer with suitable arguments.
