Question No: 23    ( Marks: 2 )
 Find harmonic mean (HM) of 10,12,14,17.
ANS: Harmonic mean,HM = n/(1/x1 + 1/x2 + 1/x3 + 1/x4 +…… +1/xn)
                                         

N= 4
X1 = 10
X2 = 12
X3 = 14
X4 = 17
1/x1 + 1/x2 + 1/x3 + 1/x4 = 1/10 + 1/12+ 1/14+ 1/17 = 0.2385
Harmonic mean = 4/0.2385= 16.77

   
Question No: 24    ( Marks: 3 )

Find proportion of bags which have weight in excess of 505 g.
          Mean = 500.
          StDev = 2.5 g
          (For z=2.00 probability is 0.4772)

    
Question No: 25    ( Marks: 3 )
 Given for a frequency distribution  mode = 18, mean = 21.Calculate  median . Using these values comment on skewness of distribution.
ANS: We know that,
           Mean-mode= 3(mean- median)
           Median= (2*mean+mode)/3
  Since,
           Mean= 21
           Mode= 18
So,
           Median = (2*21+18)/3
                        = (42+18)/3 = 60/3 = 10
The distribution is Moderately skewed and unimodal distribution.


   
Question No: 26    ( Marks: 3 )
 How many different ways can you select 2 letters from the set of letters: X, Y, and Z? (Hint: In this problem, order is NOT important; i.e., XY is considered the same selection as YX.)
ANS: Total number of letters = 3
          Letters taken at a time = 2
          Number of ways in which 2 letters can be selected out of 3 = 3C2 = 3! / 2!(3-2)!
                                                                                                                   =3*2*1/ 2
                                                                                                                   = 3
   
Question No: 27    ( Marks: 5 )
 How many possible permutations can be formed from the word MATHEMATICS?
ANS:  Total number of alphabets in mathematics = 11
M = 2
A = 2
T = 2
H = 1
E = 1
I = 1
C = 1
S = 1
Permutations = 11! / 2! * 2! * 2! *1! * 1! * 1* 1! * 1!
                      = 11! / 8 = 4,989,600

   
Question No: 28    ( Marks: 5 )
 Find the standard deviation of 4, 9, 11, 12, 17, 5, 8, 12, 14
ANS: Standard deviation for sample = sqrt[sum(X- )2/n-1)
= mean = (4+9+11+12+17+5+8+12+14)/9 = 92/9 = 10.22
n= 9
so , n-1 =9-1 = 8

sumX =272
sumY= 413
sumX2 = 15138
sumX*Y = 13509
slope, b = [7(13509)-272*413]/[7(15138)-(272)2]
                   = -17,773/31,982 = -0.55
intercept, a =  [413-(-0.55)272]/ 7 = 80.37
equation of regression line is given by,
  Y = a+ bx
  Y = 80.37 -0.55x

Question No: 31    ( Marks: 10 )
 The following data gives the height (in inches) of eleven 9-years old boys in a primary school.
57, 52, 51, 49, 55, 54, 50, 48, 53, 56, 47

a)      Find first, second and third quartiles.
b)      Find interquartile range, Quartile deviation.

ANS:a) Data in arranged order: 47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57
           number of data points, n = 11
position of Qi = i(n+1)/4

Position of Q1= (n+1)/4 = (11+1)/4 = 12/4= 3
So, Q1= 3rd value
           = 49
Position of Q2= 2(11+1)/4 = 24/4 = 6
So, Q2= 6th value
           = 52

Position of Q3= 3(11+1)/4 = 36/4 =9
So, Q3= 9th value
           55

b)  Interquartile range = Q3-Q1
                                    = 55-49 = 6
      Quartile deviation = (Q3-Q1)/2
                                    = (55-49)/2
                                    = 6/2 = 3
