₹60000 Correct Answer: ₹60000

Q74. If addition and subtraction are meaningful operation for a variable, then the scale(s) of measurement of the variable could be:

Ratio
Nominal
Ordinal
Interval Correct Answers: Ratio, Interval

Q75. Which of the following statements correctly describe Descriptive and Inferential Statistics?

Descriptive statistics uses probability theory to draw conclusions…
Inferential statistics involves using sample data to make generalizations or predictions about a population.
Both descriptive and inferential statistics only deal with numerical data…
Descriptive statistics involves summarizing data using measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation. Correct Answers:
Inferential statistics involves using sample data to make generalizations or predictions about a population.
Descriptive statistics involves summarizing data using measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation.

Q76. Choose the correct statement(s).

Cross-sectional data are collected at a single point in time across several individuals, firms, or regions etc.
Time series data involve observations on a variable measured at a single point of time.
Nominal scale provides both labelling and meaningful ranking of categories.
Ratio scale has an absolute zero and allows for comparison of both differences and ratios between observations. Correct Answers:
Cross-sectional data are collected at a single point in time…
Ratio scale has an absolute zero and allows for comparison…

Q77. A company studied the relationship between advertising expenditure (X) and sales revenue (Y) across 12 months. Arithmetic mean: X=8, Y=60. Sum of squares of deviation from mean: X=100, Y=400. Sum of product of deviation of X and Y from respective means is 160. Compute the correlation coefficient. Answer: 0.8

Q78. Table 4 represents responses of students for preferred movie type. Action: 36 (freq), 0.30 (rel freq). Comedy: a (freq), 0.25 (rel freq). Drama: b (freq), 0.20 (rel freq). Horror: c (freq), d (rel freq). Others: e (freq), 0.10 (rel freq). Find the value of $a + b + c$ . Answer: 72

Q79. Table 3 displays data recorded by an ice-cream vendor (Temp X vs Ice-creams Sold Y). Data: (20,30), (25,55), (30,70), (45,85). Calculate the population covariance between temperature and ice-creams sold. Answer: 175

Q80. (Based on Table 3 in Q79). Determine the value of the slope of the best fit line $Y = b_{0} + b_{1} X$ . (Note: This question asks for slope $b_{1}$ , but the raw extraction shows the answer for Q80 as just “72” in Q79’s evaluation section? No, wait. Let me re-read the PDF carefully for Q80 answer. Ah, Q79 Answer was 175. Q80 Answer was not explicitly visible in the screenshot snippet I processed earlier? Let me re-examine the PDF pages 43-44. Page 43: Q79 is Population Covariance. Answer: 175. Page 43: Q80 is “Correct Marks : 4”. Question text is NOT visible in the screenshot for Q80 itself, just the header. Wait, I need to look at Page 44 to see if Q80 continues or if I missed it. Page 44 starts with “A startup recorded…“. That is a new question context. Let me look closer at Page 43. Ah, Q80 is cut off. I do not have the text for Q80. I only see the header “Question Number : 80…“. However, looking at Q79, it asks for covariance. Standard flow suggests Q80 might ask for correlation or regression coefficients. Correction: I cannot provide the text for Q80 as it is missing from the visual data provided in the PDF screenshots. I will note this.)

Q81. A startup recorded daily step counts: 8, 17, 15, 19, 21, 25, 23, 35 (in thousands). Threshold = $Q 3 + 1.5 \times I QR$ . How many users marked as outliers? Answer: 0

Q81 (Second part/Next Question logic?): There are 4 observations whose mean is 5 and population variance is 2.5. Two observations are 4 and 6. Find the product of the remaining two. Answer: 21 (This is listed as Question 81 in the PDF text extraction I did earlier. It seems the “Startup” question was an unnumbered prompt or I mislabeled. Let’s verify. Page 44: “A startup recorded…” is text above Q81. Then Q81 text says “There are 4 observations…“. This implies the “Startup” text belongs to a question whose number is not visible or was the previous one (Q80?). Actually, looking at Page 44: The “Startup” text ends with “Response Type: Numeric… Answer: 0”. This looks like the body of Q80. Then “Question Number: 81” starts with “There are 4 observations…“. So Q80 is the Startup Outlier question. Answer: 0. Q81 is the “Mean 5, Variance 2.5” question. Answer: 21.

Q82. A logistics company tracks parcels. Branch A: Mean 36, SD 0. Branch B: Mean 36, SD 8. Choose correct statement(s).

Since both branches have the same average, their performance is equally consistent.
Branch A is more consistent than Branch B because its standard deviation is lower.
Branch A delivers exactly 36 parcels every day, while Branch B’s daily deliveries fluctuate around 36.
Consistency should be evaluated only on the basis of the mean. Correct Answers:
Branch A is more consistent than Branch B because its standard deviation is lower.
Branch A delivers exactly 36 parcels every day, while Branch B’s daily deliveries fluctuate around 36.

Q83. The company recorded number of parcels delivered by Branch B: 30, 45, 25, 35, 45. However, manager mistakenly reported each value as: 60, 90, 50, 70, 90. Determine the variance of the reported data. Answer: 256

Q84. Table 1 shows ticket sales. 2021, 2022, 2023. Action, Drama, Comedy, Sci-fi. Identify category with highest share (overall).

Action
Drama
Comedy
Sci-fi Correct Answer: Comedy

Q85. (Same data as Q84). Determine the maximum absolute percentage difference between the market shares of Action and Drama over the given years.

10%
40%
50%
20% Correct Answer: 20%
