1 Answer key Statistics March 2018 Section A One mark 1. Cohort is a group of individuals who are born at the same time and who experience the same mortality conditions Base year quantities 4. Arrangement of statistical data in chronological order or in accordance with time is known as a time series. 5. When λ is large, Poisson distribution can be considered to be normal distribution 6. (0, ) 7. Sample mean 8. The set of all the admissible values of the parameters is called parameter space 9. H 0 : µ = Statistical Quality Control is the method of controlling the quality of the products using statistical techniques. 11. Feasible region is the area which satisfies all the constraints simultaneously and also the nonnegativity restriction. 12. Transportation problem is said to be balanced if total availability is equal to total requirement Two Marks Section B 13. Census enumeration method and registration method 14. Limitations of index numbers a. Since index numbers are based on the sample data, they are only approximate indicators. b. There is a likelihood of error being introduced at each stage of construction of the index number 15. V 01 = Trend values semi average Year Profit ('000) Trend values Interpolation It is a technique of estimating the value of dependent variable for the known value of independent variable which is within the given range of given series. Extrapolation - It is a technique of estimating the value of dependent variable for the known value of independent variable which is outside the given range of given series
2 18. Bernoulli Distribution X 0 1 Total p(x) Features a. For t distribution mean = median = mode = 0 b. It is leptokurtic 20. If a single value is proposed as an estimate of the unknown parameter then it is point estimation If an interval is proposed as an estimate of the unknown parameter then it is interval estimation Controlling the quality of the product during the manufacturing process itself is called process control. Controlling the quality of the finished products or manufactured products is called product control. 23. Point Z=5x+4y (12, 10) 100 (14, 4) 86 Value of x = 12, y= 10 and maximum value of Z = marks 24. m+n-1=5 and number of solutions = 4. Hence given solution is degenerate. Section C 25.

3 P 01 = antilog ( 678 9:;<=>?@ A.B Consumer price index number is the index number of the cost met by a specified class of consumers in buying a basket of goods and services. Uses of consumer price index numbers are a. It is commonly used in fixation of salary, dearness allowance or grant of bonus to the employees. b. They are used by the government for the formulation of price policy, wage policy and general economic policies. c. They are used for comparing changes in the cost of living of different classes of people. d. Cost of living index is used widely in wage negotiations and wage contracts 28. Trend values by 3 yearly moving average year Sales ( 000) 3 yearly moving sum Trend values values known 5 y 0 = 0 y 5-5y 4 +10y 3-10y 2 +5y 1 -y 0 = 0 y 2 = 67.8 y 6-5y 5 +10y 4-10y 3 +5y 2 -y 1 = 0 y 6 = Mean λ=2.5 Let X denotes number of accidents in a year.
