i.e., P10 = $$\frac{1}{\mathrm{P}_{01}}$$; Exccept the factor 100.

FRT: Factor reversal test requires that the product of price and quantity index numbers both computed time forward is equal to the total change in the value.

Question 27.
compute the cost of living index number by using the following data

Weights (W) are given , so use family budged method to compute cost of living imdex number C.P.I./IO = $$\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{PW}}{\Sigma \mathrm{W}}$$ ; Where, p = $$\frac{P_{1}}{P_{0}} \times 100$$  the price relative and W – Weghts

I01 = $$\frac { 3560 }{ 27 }$$ = 131.85 ≅ 132
There is net in crease of cost of living by 32% (132-100) in the current year as compared to base year.

Question 28.
Compute trend values by using 4-yearly moving averages method:

 Year Sales (000) 2000 70 2001 85 2002 75 2003 70 2004 70 2005 65 2006 60 2007 55 2008 60 2009 75

Let x and y be the year and sales.

From the trend values the sales shows down word trend.

Question 29.
Interpolate and extrapolate the production for the year 2006 and 2010 for the following data:

Let x and y be the year and production.

The number of known values of y; n = 4 and so, the normal expansion (y – 1)4= 0.
y4 – 4y3 + 6y2 – 4y1 + y0 = 0
26 – 4(15) + 6 (10) – 4y1 + 5 = 0
26 – 60 + 60 – 4y1 + 5 = 0
31 – 4y1 = 0; ∴ y1= $$\frac { 31 }{ 4 }$$ = 7.75 .
So, the production for the year 20.6 = 7.75
For the entropolation for y5 consider the equation 1, increase the suffixes of y by 1, we get
y5 – 4y4 + 6y3 – 4y2 + y1= 0
y5 – 4(26)+ 6 (15) – 4(10) + 7.75 = 0
y5 – 104 + 90-40 + 7.75 = 0
y5 – 46.25 = 0; ∴ y5 = 46.25
∴ The production for the year 2010 = 46.25 tons.

Question 30.
In a certain school 40% of the students have opted for first language Kannada. Assuming 20 teachers take a sample of 4 students each, how many teachers will report that 2 or 3 students opted for first language Kannada?
Let x be the numbers students opted first language kannada is a Binomnal variate with the parameters.
n = 4; P = 40% = 0.4; q = 1 – p = 0.6 and N = 20.
The p. m. f. is P(x) = nCxPx qn-x = 1 – p = 0.6 and N = 20
P(x) = 4Cx(0.4)x (0.6)4 – x ; x = 0,1,2,3,4
Number of teachers will report 2 or more students opted for first language kannada
= P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) = 4C2(0.4)2 (0.6)4 – 2 + 4C3(0.4)3(0.6)4-3
= 0.3456 + 0.1536 = 0.4992 × 20 = 9.98

Question 31.

Let x be the numbers of print mistakes pef page is a poisson variate with the parameter λ = 0.3, then the p.m.f. is :

Number of pages having at the most 2 mistakes
= P(x ≥ 2)N = 1 – P(x < 2)N = 1 – [P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

= 1 – e-0.3(1 + 0.3) = [1 – 0.7048 × 1.3] = 1 – 0.9630
= 0.037 × 500 = 18.5 symbol undi 19 pages

Question 36.
The following are the maintenance and depreciation costs per year of a vehicle whose purchase price is Rs. 50,000. –

When should the vehicle be replaced?
Given Depreciation cast: (P-sn) and maintenance cost Ci and P = 50,000.
The Vehicle is suggested to replace when its Annual average maintenance cost is A(n) is least/ minimum over a period.

Here T = (P-Sn) + ΣCi

IV. Answer any TWO of the following questions : (2 x 10 = 20)

Question 37.
For the following two towns compute standardized death rates and comment:

be the standardised death rates of town A and B and Ps. The standard population, A and B be their respective Age specific death rates.

ASDR (0-20) = $$\frac { 128 }{ 8000 }$$ × 1000 = 18
SDR (A) = $$\frac { 19,05,000 }{ 1,00,000 }$$

ASDR (0 – 20) = $$\frac { 72 }{ 4000 }$$ × 1000 = 18
SDR (B) = $$\frac { 16,75,000 }{ 1,00,000 }$$ = 16.75
Here S.D.R. (B) < S.D.R. (A) and so, town B is healthier than town A.

Question 38.
Compute Marshall-Edgeworth’s and Dorbish-Bowley’s price index numbers from the following data:

Question 39.
Population figures for a-city are given below:

Fit a curve of the type Y = abx and estimate the population for the year 2014.
The exponential curve is : Y = abx
The normal equations are : n loga + logb. Σx = Σloga (1)
Σ x + logb Σx2 = logy …… (2)
Let x and y be the years and the population.

Since Σ x = 0;
From (1)

∴ a = A.L (loga) = A.L (2.1960) = 157.036
From (2)

∴ b = A.L (logb) = A.L (0.0399) = 1,0962
The fitted exponential trend equation is:
y = abx
ŷ = 157.036(1.0962)x
Estimation of the population for the year 2014; x = 4;
ŷ(2014) = 157.036 (1.962)4 = 226.7905 (000’s)

Question 40.
Five unbiased coins are tossed 128 times and the frequencies of number heads are noted below. Fit a Binomial distribution. Test at 5% L. O. S. that it is a good fit.

Let x be the number of heads obtained is a Binomnal variate with the parameters n = 5, and P = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ = 0.5. Sinpe the coin is unbiased ∴ q = 1 – P = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5 N = 120 (Given as 128 is a misprint). Then the P.m.f. is :
P(x) = nCxPxqn-x, x = 0, 1, 2 …n
= 5Cx(0.5)x(0.5)5-x, n = 0, 1,2 …n

Theoretical / Expected frequence: Tx = P(x) M.
So, T0/E0 = P(x = 0) × 100
= 5Co(0.5)° (0.5)5-0 × 100 = 3.125

Using recurrence relation:

T1 = $$\frac{5+1-1}{1}\left(\frac{0.5}{0.5}\right)$$ T1-1 = 5 × 3.125 = 15.625
T0 = $$\frac{5+1-2}{2}$$ × 1 × 15.625=31.25
T3 = $$\frac{5+1-3}{3}$$ × l × 31.25 = 31.25
T4 = $$\frac{5+1-4}{4}$$ × 1 × 31.25 = 15.625 4
T5 = $$\frac{5+1-5}{5}$$ × 1 × 15.625 = 3.125
The fitted observed and theoretical frequency distribution is

Chi-Square test:
H0: B.D is a good fit (ie.,Oi = Ei)
H1: B.D is not a good fit (i.e., Oi ≠ Ei) {Upper tail test K2}
Under H0, the χ2– test statistic is :

χ2cal = 15.6163

At α = 5% L.O.S for (n – 1) = 4 – 1 = 3 d.f the upper tail critical value K2 = 7.81
Here χ2cal lies in RR
∴ H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted.
Conclusion: B.D. is not a good fit.

Let x be the weights is a normal variate with mean: μ = 55 kgs and S.D: σ = 3kgs. N = 1000
Then S.N.V

No of students with weight between 57kg and 60kg

= p(57 < ×< 60)
$$=\mathrm{P}\left(\frac{27-55}{3}<\mathrm{Z}<\frac{60-55}{3}\right)$$
= P(0.67 < Z < 1.67)
= Area from 0.67 to 1.67
= Area from 0.67 to ∞ – Area from 1.67
= 0.2514 – 0.0475
= 0.2039 × 1000
= 203.9 ≅ 204

Another random sample of 100 people from same city in the year 2013 revealed that 75 were cricket match viewers. Examine whether there is a significant increase in proportion of cricket match viewership at 1% level of significance.
n1 = 100; x1, = 65; n2 100; x2 = 75
H0: Proportion of cricket viewers in two years are same (i.e., P01 = P02)
H1: Proportion of cricket viewers has increased in two years (i.e.,P01 < P02) {Lower tail test}
Under H0, the test statistic is:
