2. Distinguish between classification and tabulation. Discuss the purpose, methods and importance of classification.

3. Write a note on the use of graphic method in Statistics Indicate briefly the special merits attaching to the use of various kinds of diagrams for the presentation of statistical data.

4. What is meant by “Central tendency” – Describe the various methods of measuring it and point out the usefulness of each methods.

6. What is skewness- What are the different tests of skewness-
7. Define raw and central moments of a distribution. What is the effect of change of origin and scale on the moments-

SECTION C

8. What do you understand by association of attributes- How will you examine the consistency of data classified according to different attributes-

9. In a radio listeners preference survey, 120 persons were interviewed and their opinions were as follows :-
