7. Define in brief Research Design. What are important features of research


design?

8. Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative research.

9. Differentiate between experiment and survey.

10. Calculate the Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation between supply and
demand from the following data. Also interpret the result.
Supply 40 50 50 52 55 58 60 64 67 70
Demand 60 65 67 70 80 85 90 92 95 100

11. The following are the ranks obtained by 10 students in Statistics and
Mathematics
Statistics 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Mathematics 1 4 2 5 3 9 7 10 6 8
Find the rank correlation coefficient.

12. The average monthly sales, based on past experience of a particular


brand of tooth paste in departmental stores is ₹ 200. An advertisement
campaign was made by the company and then a sample of 26
departmental stores was taken at random and found that the average
sales of the particular brand of tooth paste is ₹ 216 with a standard
deviation of ₹8. Does the campaign have helped in promoting the sales
of a particular brand of tooth paste? (The table value of t at 5% level of
significance is 1.78)
13. Two samples of sizes 9 and 8 give the sum of squares of deviations from
their respective mean equal to 160 and 91 sq. units respectively. Can
these be regarded as drawn from the same normal population? Given
that for .

per minute) of smokers is greater than the variance of heart rates of
people who do not smoke. Samples from two groups are selected and the
data is given below. Using = 0.05, test whether there is enough evidence
to support the claim. (The critical value of F is 3.6)
