Rules for Marking


It should be clear that your Assignment will not get any credit IF:
 The Assignment submitted, via email, after due date.
 The submitted Assignment is not found as MS Word document file.
 There will be unnecessary, extra or irrelevant material.
 The Statistical notations/symbols are not well-written i.e., without usi
ng MathType software.
 The Assignment will be copied from handouts, internet or from any other studen
t’s file. Copied material (from handouts, any book or by any website) will be awa
rded ZERO MARKS. It is PLAGIARISM and an Academic Crime.
 The medium of the course is English. Assignment in Urdu or Roman languages w
ill not be accepted.
 Assignment means Comprehensive yet precise accurate details about the given to
pic quoting different sources (books/articles/websites etc.). Do not rely only on ha
ndouts. You can take data/information from different authentic sources (like boo
ks, magazines, website etc.) BUT express/organize all the collected material in Y
OUR OWN WORDS. Only then you will get good marks.
Assignment no. 1 (Lessons 10-15)

Question 1: Marks: 10
Grades in English of 50 students are given below:
72, 76, 83, 77, 0, 22, 70, 21, 9, 62, 52, 16, 95, 31, 73, 91, 16, 62, 37, 66,
62, 37, 31, 84, 66, 8, 73, 84, 88, 33, 19, 8, 77, 75, 17, 91, 71, 13, 30, 68,
12, 25, 30, 92, 10, 97, 38, 32, 16, 40.
1) Construct a frequency distribution.
2) Calculate any three measures of central tendency and interpret the results.
3) Create a histogram.

Create a table for the necessary calculations, use the appropriate formula, and include all t
he necessary steps.

2) Measures of Central Tendency:

 Mean: ≈55.3 (Average grade)


 Median: ≈62.96 (Middle value)
 Mode: ≈70.75 (Most frequent range)

3) Histogram: (Conceptual) A bar chart with class boundaries on the x-axis and frequencies
on the y-axis, showing the distribution of grades. The tallest bar is for the 60-74 grade range.

Question 2: Marks: 10

The following table shows the number of study hours per week (X) and the exam scores (Y)
for a group of students.

Study
5 8 10 12 15 18 20
Hours (X)
Exam
50 65 70 75 85 90 95
Scores (Y)

1) Create a scatter plot and provide an interpretation.


2) Apply an appropriate regression line with justification and interpret the results.

Create a table for the necessary calculations, use the appropriate formula, and include all t
he necessary steps.
Answer:

Alright, let's get those calculations laid out clearly.

Calculations for Regression Line:

X (Study Hours) Y (Exam Scores) XY X2

5 50 250 25

8 65 520 64

10 70 700 100

12 75 900 144

15 85 1275 225

18 90 1620 324

20 95 1900 400
Sum (sum) 7165 1282

Step 1: Calculate the means of X and Y.

Xˉ=n∑X=75+8+10+12+15+18+20=788=12.57

Yˉ=n∑Y=750+65+70+75+85+90+95=7530=75.71

Correction: My apologies, there was a calculation error in the previous concise answer for
the means. Let's redo the slope and intercept with the correct sums.

Step 2: Calculate the slope (b1).

b1=n(∑X2)−(∑X)2n(∑XY)−(∑X)(∑Y)

b1=7(1282)−(88)27(7165)−(88)(530)

b1=8974−774450155−46640

b1=12303515

b1≈2.858

Step 3: Calculate the y-intercept (b0).

b0=Yˉ−b1Xˉ

b0=75.71−(2.858)(12.57)

b0=75.71−35.92

b0≈39.79

Final Regression Line Equation:

Y^=39.79+2.858X

Interpretation: For each additional hour of study per week, the exam score is predicted to
increase by approximately 2.858 points. A student studying 0 hours is predicted to score
around 39.79. This still indicates a positive linear relationship.
