Q.1. Distinguish between Classification and Tabulation. Explain the structure and components of a Table with an
example.
Ans : Classification : is the process of arranging things or data in groups or classes according to their resemblances
and affinities. Classification simplifies and makes data more comprehensible and renders the data ready for
statistical analysis. Classified data is tabulated in rows and columns for presentation, using various methods.
Tabulation: Tabulation is a logical or systematic listing of related data in rows and columns, commonly known as
tables. Common examples of data tables from our daily lives include the score card of a student, a bank statement
and a project plan.
Difference between classification and Tabulation
Classification

Tabulation

Its the basis of tabulation

Its the basis for further analysis

Its the basis for simplification

Its the basis for presentation

Data is divided into groups and sub-groups on the basis

of similarities and dissimilarities.

Data is listed according to a logical sequence of related

characteristics

a.

Table number : Table numbers are helpful in identifying the tables

b.

Title: Title of a table gives information about the data contained in the body of the table.

c.

Captions: are the headings and subheadings describing the data present in the columns

d.

Stubs: are the heading and subheading of rows

e.

Body of the table: contains numerical information

f.

Totals: Sub-totals for each separate classification and a general total for all combined classes should be
given at the bottom or right side of the figures whose total are taken.

g.

Head notes: is given below the title of the table to indicate the units of measurement of the data and is
enclosed in brackets

h.

Source note: indicates the source from which data is taken.

Q.2.

a) Describe the characteristics of Normal probability distribution.

b) In a sample of 120 workers in a factory, the mean and standard deviation of wages were Rs. 11.35 and
Rs.3.03 respectively. Find the percentage of workers getting wages between Rs.9 and Rs.17 in the whole
factory assuming that the wages are normally distributed.
Ans: A) The following are the characteristics of Normal probability distribution
I.
II.

Normal distribution is a continuos probability distribution

Its probability density function is given by

The mean devides the curve into two equal portions

Its quartile deviation, Q.D.=2/3
Its mean deviation, M.D. 4/5
The X-axis is an asymptote to the curve
The point of inflexion occurs at
It is a unimodal distribution

Mean, median and mode coincide

The area under normal curve within certain limits.
Ans : B)

Sample = 120 workers

Mean = Rs. 11.35
Standard deviation = Rs. 3.03

% of workers getting wages between Rs. 9 & Rs. 17?

2 values for normal curve between 9 & 11.35 =
