b) Sufficient but not necessary d) Neither necessary nor sufficient
Q2)Which of the following measure will remains unchanged when every observation in the data
set is divided by the same quantity?
a) Quartile deviation c) Coefficient of Variations
b) Standard Deviation d) Mode
Q3)If the correlation between two variables is -1 and 0, then the covariance between them is
a) Positive c) Zero
b) Negative d) None of all

Q24. For children between the ages of 18 months and 29 months, there is approximately a linear
relationship between “height” and “age”. The relationship can be represented by: Y = 64.93
+ 0.63(x), where Y represents height (in centimeters) and X represents age (in months).
Joseph is 22.5 months old and is 80 centimeters tall. What is Joseph’s residual?
a) 79.1
b) -0.9
c) +0.9
d) 56.6
first of all i think there is something wrong with this question. how can correlation be 2 no.s :/ then whats the point of correlation. i just solved using -1 . so the viability of my answer is not known. HEHE
15. A monopolist practicing third degree discrimination faces the following demand functions in
the two markets:
P1 = 100 – 0.5 Q1 and P2 = 100 – 4 Q2
while he faces a constant marginal cost of production (Pi and Qi refer to price and quantity in
market i). Profit maximization will imply
a) P1 > P2 c) P1 = P2
b) P1 < P2 d) Relation between P1 and P2 cannot be
determined without knowing the exact
cost function
For q2, shouldn't the answer be (c) coefficient of variation? It is the only unitless measure given in the options.
For q4, I think the answer should be (d) time series data. Data on GDP, unemployment and household expenditures are all collected over different time periods.
Also, I would really appreciate help with the third question.
