Ques 5.

Mean and Standard deviation of 18 observations are found to be 7 and 4, respectively. On comparing the original data, it was found that an observation 12 was miscopied as 21 in the calculations. Calculate correct mean and standard deviation.

Ques 7.

A researcher collects the following information for two variables x and y: n = 20, r = 0.5, mean (x) = 15, mean (y) = 20,  and  Later it was found that one pair of values (x, y) has been wrongly taken as (16, 30) whereas the correct values were (26, 35). Find the correct value of r(x, y)

Ques 8.

If a, b, c, d are constants, then show that the coefficient of correlation between ax+b and cy+d is numerically equal to that between x and y.

Ques 9.

A statistician wanted to compare two methods A and B of teaching. He selected a random sample of 22 students. He grouped them into 11 pairs so that the students in pair have approximately equal scores on an intelligence test. In each pair one student was taught by method A and the other by method B and examined after the course. The marks obtained by both methods are given as:

Find the rank correlation coefficient.

Board of Directors of Labour Union wishes to sample the opinion of its members before submitting a change in its contribution at a forthcoming annual meeting. Questionnaires are sent to a random sample of 200 members in three union locals. The results of the survey are as follows:

Determine the amount of association between the Union locals and their reactions using coefficient of contingency and interpret the result.

Ques 13.

600 candidates were appeared in an examination. The boys outnumbered girls by 15% of all candidates. Number of passed exceeded the number of failed candidates by 300. Boys failing in the examination numbered 80. Determine the coefficient of association.
