Q.1. The frequency distribution of total annual emoluments of a sample of 100 executives working in multinational companies is given below:

Total Emoluments

(in Rs Lac)

02–06 06 –10 10-14 14 -18 18-22 22-26 26-30
Number of Executives 10 15 30 18 12 09 06

 

Find a) median emoluments, b) mode emoluments, c) 3rd quartile, and d) 9th decile.

 

Answer:Some textbooks and professors do it slighly different.  I think this isn’t much different, if any, from what you are being taught.The frequency polygon is just a bunch of lines connecting the middle  of the tops of the histogram bars, so it’s this green zig-

 

 

 

 

 

  1. 2. A population consisting of a certain proportion of defective items has mean μ = 2. If a sample of 4 items is examined and repeated 200 times, obtain a) probability of an item being defective, b) probability of getting 2 defective items in the sample, c) expected frequency of getting 2 defective items, and d) expected frequency of getting at the most 2 defective items. Is the resultant distribution skewed?

 

Answer:Suppose A and B are two events in a given situation. If A and B cannot possibly occur  simultaneously they are said to be  mutually exclusive  events.For mutually exclusive events  the probability that one event  or  the other occurs is  given by:

 

 

 

 

  1. 3. A research organization claims that the monthly wages of industrial workers in district X exceeds that of those in district Y by more than Rs 150. Two different samples drawn independently from the two districts yielded the following results:

District X:

District Y:

Verify at 0.05 level of significance whether the sample results support the claim of the organization.

 

Answer:The procedure is explained in the following steps:

 

test statistics=(x1 bar- x2 bar)(s1^2/n1)(s2^2/n2)

substitute the values and you will get the answer.

I got this answer. please check it.

(x1 bar- x2 bar)(s1^2/n1)(s2^2/n2)

⇒(648-495)(120/100)(140/90)

 

 

 

 

 

  1. 4. The following data relate to marketing expenditure in Rs lac and the corresponding sales of a product in Rs crores. Estimate the marketing expenditure to attain a sales target of Rs 40 crores.
Marketing expenditure 10 12 15 20 23
Product sales 14 17 23 21 25

 

 

Answer:A company has the capacity to produce goods worth of Rs. 40 crores a year. For this has incurred a fixed cost of Rs 20 crores, the variable costs being 60% of the sales revenue. Now company is planning to incur an additional Rs. 6 crores in feed costs to expand its production capacity from Rs. 40 crores to Rs.60 crores. The survey shows that the firm’s sales can be increased from Rs. 40 crores to Rs. 50 crores. Should the firm go in for expansion?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. 5. Write short notes on:

 

  1. i) Adjoint of a matrix

 

Answer:In linear algebra, the adjugate, classical adjoint, or adjunct of a square matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix.  The adjugate has sometimes been called the “adjoint”, but today the “adjoint” of a matrix normally refers to its corresponding adjoint operator, which is its conjugate transpose.

The adjugate of A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix C of A,

In more detail, suppose R is a comm.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. ii) Skewness and its measures

 

Answer:In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive or negative, or even undefined.  The qualitative interpretation of the skew is complicated. For a unimodal distribution, negative skew indicates that the tail on the left side of the probability density function is longer or fatter than the

 

 

 

 

iii) Business forecasting

 

Answer:BUSINESS FORECASTING is an estimate or prediction of future developments in business such as sales, expenditures, and profits. Given the wide swings in economic activity and the drastic effects these fluctuations can have on profit margins, it is not surprising that business forecasting has emerged as one of the most important aspects of corporate planning. Forecasting has become an invaluable tool for businesspeople to anticipate economic trends and prepare themselves either to benefit from or to counteract them. If
