LONG QUESTIONS
1. During influenza epidemic 15 boys and 8 girls became ill, out of a class of 22 boys and 28 girls:
(i) Draw up a 2 x 2 contingency table.
(ii) Test the hypothesis of no dependence at 0.05 level of significance.
2. Find the spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for the following data.
ai 4.2 2.7 6.1 2.4 4.7
bi 8.5 5.2 6.3 4.8 8.6
3. Calculate the coefficient of the association between the intelligence of fathers and son in the
following data:
Intelligent fathers with intelligent sons = 265
Intelligent fathers with dull sons = 100
Dull fathers with intelligent sons = 95
Dull fathers with dull sons = 450
4. Five sacks of coal A, B, C, D and E have different weights, with A being heaving than B, B heavier
than C, and so on. A weight lifter ranks the sacks (heaviest first) in the other A, D, B, E, C. Calculate a
coefficient of rank correlation.
5. Seven army recruits A, B, C, D, E, F and G were given two separate aptitude tests. Their orders of
merit in each test were.
Order of merit 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th
First test G F A D B C E
Second test D F E B G C A
6. Ten competitors in a beauty contest are ranked by three the two judges in the following order
Competitor A B C D E F G H I J
Judge X 1 6 5 10 3 2 4 9 7 8
Judge Y 3 5 8 4 7 10 2 1 6 9
Judge Z 6 4 9 8 1 2 3 10 5 7
Use Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to discuss which pair of judges have the nearest
approach to common tests in beauty.
