Question 1

(i) Explain briefly (in two lines) descriptive and inferential statistics.

Answer:

• Descriptive Statistics involves summarizing and presenting data using measures such
as mean, median, standard deviation, and graphical methods like histograms.

• Inferential Statistics involves making predictions or generalizations about a

population based on a sample using methods like hypothesis testing and confidence
intervals.

(ii) If a final examination in a course is weighted 3 times as much as a quiz, and a student
has a final examination grade of 85, and quiz grades of 70 and 90, then find the mean
(weighted) grade.

Solution: The weighted mean is calculated as:

Weighted Mean=w1x1+w2x2+w3x3w1+w2+w3\text{Weighted Mean} = \frac{w_1 x_1 + w_2

x_2 + w_3 x_3}{w_1 + w_2 + w_3}Weighted Mean=w1+w2+w3w1x1+w2x2+w3x3

Where:

• Final exam weight = 3, grade = 85

• Quiz weight = 1 each, grades = 70, 90

Weighted Mean=(3×85)+(1×70)+(1×90)3+1+1\text{Weighted Mean} = \frac{(3 \times 85) +

(1 \times 70) + (1 \times 90)}{3 + 1 + 1}Weighted Mean=3+1+1(3×85)+(1×70)+(1×90)
=255+70+905=4155=83= \frac{255 + 70 + 90}{5} = \frac{415}{5} = 83=5255+70+90=5415=83

Final Answer: 83

(iii) Briefly explain (in 2-3 lines) the reasons for using the normal distribution very often to
approximate sampling distributions.

Answer: The normal distribution is widely used in statistics because of the Central Limit
Theorem (CLT), which states that for a sufficiently large sample size, the sampling
distribution of the mean tends to be normal, regardless of the population's original
distribution. This makes it a powerful tool for statistical inference.
(iv) Illustrate the geometry of least squares in an n-dimensional space showing residual
errors, fitted and observed response variables, and geometric relationships of these
vectors.

Answer: In an nnn-dimensional space, the least squares method finds a hyperplane that
minimizes the sum of squared differences between observed and predicted values.

• Residual errors: The vertical distances from observed points to the regression plane.

• Fitted response variables: The points on the regression plane.

• Geometric interpretation: The observed response vector is projected onto the space
spanned by predictor variables, with residuals forming an orthogonal component.

(v) Give some examples of the transformations that are used to linearize a non-linear
regression model.

Answer: To linearize non-linear regression models, we apply transformations such as:

1. Logarithmic transformation: Y=aXbY = aX^bY=aXb can be converted to

log⁡Y=log⁡a+blog⁡X\log Y = \log a + b \log XlogY=loga+blogX.

2. Reciprocal transformation: Y=1XY = \frac{1}{X}Y=X1 helps linearize inverse

relationships.

3. Square root transformation: Used for stabilizing variance.

4. Box-Cox transformation: A family of power transformations for normalizing data.

Question 2

(i) Find the mean, median, and mode for the following set of numbers: 51.6, 48.7, 50.3,
49.5, 48.9.

Solution:

• Mean:

Mean=51.6+48.7+50.3+49.5+48.95=2495=49.8\text{Mean} = \frac{51.6 + 48.7 + 50.3 + 49.5

+ 48.9}{5} = \frac{249}{5} = 49.8Mean=551.6+48.7+50.3+49.5+48.9=5249=49.8

• Median: Arranging in ascending order: 48.7, 48.9, 49.5, 50.3, 51.6

The median is 49.5.

• Mode: Since no number repeats, there is no mode.

Final Answer: Mean = 49.8, Median = 49.5, Mode = None

(ii) On final examination in mathematics, the mean was 72 and the standard deviation was
15. Determine the standard z-scores for the grades (a) 60, (b) 93, and (c) 72.

Formula for Z-score:

Z=X−μσZ = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}Z=σX−μ

Where: XXX = observed value, μ=72\mu = 72μ=72 (mean), σ=15\sigma = 15σ=15 (standard
deviation)

(a) Z=60−7215=−1215=−0.8Z = \frac{60 - 72}{15} = \frac{-12}{15} = -0.8Z=1560−72=15−12

=−0.8
(b) Z=93−7215=2115=1.4Z = \frac{93 - 72}{15} = \frac{21}{15} = 1.4Z=1593−72=1521=1.4
(c) Z=72−7215=0Z = \frac{72 - 72}{15} = 0Z=1572−72=0

Final Answer:
(a) -0.8, (b) 1.4, (c) 0

(iii) Suppose that a random variable XXX has a continuous uniform distribution:

f(x)={12,4≤x≤60,otherwisef(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2}, & 4 \leq x \leq 6 \\ 0, &

\text{otherwise} \end{cases}f(x)={21,0,4≤x≤6otherwise

Find the distribution of the sample mean of a random sample of size n=40n = 40n=40, and
draw it.

Solution:

• The mean of a uniform distribution is:

E(X)=a+b2=4+62=5E(X) = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{4 + 6}{2} = 5E(X)=2a+b=24+6=5

• The variance of a uniform distribution is:

Var(X)=(b−a)212=(6−4)212=412=13\text{Var}(X) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12} = \frac{(6-4)^2}{12} =

\frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}Var(X)=12(b−a)2=12(6−4)2=124=31

• The standard deviation is:

σ=13=13\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}σ=31=31

• The standard error of the mean:

SE=σn=1/340=1120=110.95≈0.0914\text{SE} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} =
\frac{1/\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{40}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{120}} = \frac{1}{10.95} \approx 0.0914SE=nσ=40
1/3=1201=10.951≈0.0914
By the Central Limit Theorem, the sample mean follows a normal distribution:

Xˉ∼N(5,0.09142)\bar{X} \sim N(5, 0.0914^2)Xˉ∼N(5,0.09142)

Final Answer: The sample mean follows N(5,0.09142)N(5, 0.0914^2)N(5,0.09142), and the
distribution is approximately normal.

I'll continue with Question 3 and 4 in the next response. Let me know if you need any
clarifications so far.

Solution to Mid Term Examination - Statistics, Statistical Modelling, and Data Analytics
(SSMD)

Q1 (Compulsory Question)

(a) Probability of B or C winning the race

Three students A, B, and C are running a race.

• A and B have the same probability of winning.

• A and B are twice as likely to win as C.

Let the probability of C winning be P(C) = x.

Then, the probability of A or B winning is 2x each.

Since the total probability must be 1:

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 1P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1 2x+2x+x=12x + 2x + x = 12x+2x+x=1

5x=1⇒x=155x = 1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{5}5x=1⇒x=51 P(A)=P(B)=2x=25P(A) = P(B) = 2x =
\frac{2}{5}P(A)=P(B)=2x=52 P(C)=15P(C) = \frac{1}{5}P(C)=51

Probability that B or C wins:

P(B)+P(C)=25+15=35P(B) + P(C) = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5}P(B)+P(C)=52+51=53

examination paper you shared. Let's go through each question carefully.

Complete Solutions to Mid-Term Examination

Subject: Statistics, Statistical Modelling & Data Analytics

Paper Code: DA-304T
Max Marks: 30

Question 1 (Compulsory)

(i) Explain briefly (in two lines) descriptive and inferential statistics.
 • Descriptive Statistics involves summarizing and organizing data using measures like
mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and graphs. It does not draw conclusions
beyond the data.

• Inferential Statistics involves drawing conclusions or making predictions about a

population based on sample data, using techniques such as hypothesis testing and
confidence intervals.

(ii) Given a final exam grade and quiz grades, find the mean (weighted) grade.

Given:

• Final exam grade = 85

• Quiz grades = 70 and 90

• Final exam weight = 3 times the quiz

Let the quiz weight be 1, then the final exam weight is 3.

Weighted Mean=(3×85)+(1×70)+(1×90)3+1+1\text{Weighted Mean} = \frac{(3 \times 85) +

(1 \times 70) + (1 \times 90)}{3+1+1}Weighted Mean=3+1+1(3×85)+(1×70)+(1×90)
=(255)+(70)+(90)5= \frac{(255) + (70) + (90)}{5}=5(255)+(70)+(90) =4155=83= \frac{415}{5} =
83=5415=83

Final Answer: Weighted Mean = 83

(iii) Explain the reasons for using the normal distribution to approximate sampling
distributions.

1. Central Limit Theorem (CLT): Regardless of the original distribution, the sampling
distribution of the mean tends to be normal for large sample sizes (n≥30n \geq
30n≥30).

2. Common Occurrence: Many natural and social phenomena (e.g., heights, IQ scores,
measurement errors) follow a normal distribution.

3. Mathematical Convenience: The normal distribution has well-defined properties and

is easy to work with for hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.

(iv) Illustrate the geometry of least squares in an nnn-dimensional space.

• In regression, the least squares method minimizes the sum of squared residuals.

• Geometrically, in nnn-dimensional space, we have:

o Fitted Response Variable (Y^\hat{Y}Y^): Predicted values from regression

o Residual (e=Y−Y^e = Y - \hat{Y}e=Y−Y^): Difference between observed and

predicted values

o These vectors are perpendicular to each other, forming an orthogonal

projection in an nnn-dimensional space.

(v) Examples of transformations used to linearize a nonlinear regression model.

Some common transformations include:

• Logarithmic Transformation: Y′=log⁡(Y)Y' = \log(Y)Y′=log(Y), used when data grows

exponentially.

• Square Root Transformation: Y′=YY' = \sqrt{Y}Y′=Y, used for stabilizing variance.

• Reciprocal Transformation: Y′=1YY' = \frac{1}{Y}Y′=Y1, used when data exhibits

inverse proportionality.

• Box-Cox Transformation: Y′=Yλ−1λY' = \frac{Y^\lambda - 1}{\lambda}Y′=λYλ−1, used

to normalize skewed data.

Question 2 (Optional, Answer Any Two)

(i) Find the mean, median, and mode for the given set of numbers: 51.6, 48.7, 50.3, 49.5,
48.9

Step 1: Mean Calculation

Mean=∑Xn=51.6+48.7+50.3+49.5+48.95\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum X}{n} = \frac{51.6 + 48.7 +

50.3 + 49.5 + 48.9}{5}Mean=n∑X=551.6+48.7+50.3+49.5+48.9 =2495=49.8= \frac{249}{5} =
49.8=5249=49.8

Step 2: Median Calculation

• Sorted Data: 48.7, 48.9, 49.5, 50.3, 51.6

• The median is the middle value: 49.5

Step 3: Mode Calculation

• Since no number repeats, there is no mode.

Final Answer:
 • Mean = 49.8

• Median = 49.5

• Mode = No mode

(ii) Compute the z-scores for given grades when Mean = 72 and Standard Deviation = 15.

Formula for z-score:

z=X−μσz = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}z=σX−μ

For X=60X = 60X=60:

z=60−7215=−1215=−0.8z = \frac{60 - 72}{15} = \frac{-12}{15} = -0.8z=1560−72=15−12=−0.8

For X=93X = 93X=93:

z=93−7215=2115=1.4z = \frac{93 - 72}{15} = \frac{21}{15} = 1.4z=1593−72=1521=1.4

For X=72X = 72X=72:

z=72−7215=0z = \frac{72 - 72}{15} = 0z=1572−72=0

Final Answer:

• z(60)=−0.8z(60) = -0.8z(60)=−0.8

• z(93)=1.4z(93) = 1.4z(93)=1.4

• z(72)=0z(72) = 0z(72)=0

(iii) Find the distribution of the sample mean of a uniform random variable XXX between 4
and 6.

Given:

f(x)={12,4≤x≤60,otherwisef(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2}, & 4 \leq x \leq 6 \\ 0, &

\text{otherwise} \end{cases}f(x)={21,0,4≤x≤6otherwise

For a uniform distribution U(a,b)U(a, b)U(a,b):

• Mean: μ=a+b2=4+62=5\mu = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{4 + 6}{2} = 5μ=2a+b=24+6=5

• Variance: σ2=(b−a)212=(6−4)212=412=13\sigma^2 = \frac{(b - a)^2}{12} = \frac{(6 -

4)^2}{12} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}σ2=12(b−a)2=12(6−4)2=124=31

For a sample mean of size n=40n = 40n=40:

• Mean of Sample Mean: E[Xˉ]=μ=5E[\bar{X}] = \mu = 5E[Xˉ]=μ=5

 • Variance of Sample Mean: σXˉ2=σ2n=1340=1120\sigma^2_{\bar{X}} =
\frac{\sigma^2}{n} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{40} = \frac{1}{120}σXˉ2=nσ2=4031=1201

• Standard Deviation of Sample Mean: σXˉ=1120=1120≈0.091\sigma_{\bar{X}} =

\sqrt{\frac{1}{120}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{120}} \approx 0.091σXˉ=1201=1201≈0.091

By the Central Limit Theorem (CLT), the sample mean follows a normal distribution:

Xˉ∼N(5,0.0912)\bar{X} \sim N(5, 0.091^2)Xˉ∼N(5,0.0912)

Final Answer:

Xˉ∼N(5,0.0912)\bar{X} \sim N(5, 0.091^2)Xˉ∼N(5,0.0912)

Question 3

(a) State and Prove Gauss-Markov Theorem

Statement of Gauss-Markov Theorem:

The Gauss-Markov theorem states that in a linear regression model, the Ordinary Least
Squares (OLS) estimator provides the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) of the
regression coefficients if the following assumptions hold:

1. Linearity: The relationship between dependent and independent variables is linear.

2. Random Sampling: The sample is randomly drawn from the population.

3. No Perfect Multicollinearity: The independent variables are not perfectly correlated.

4. Zero Mean of Error Terms: The expectation of the error term is zero:
E(ϵ)=0E(\epsilon) = 0E(ϵ)=0
 5. Homoscedasticity: The error terms have constant variance:
Var(ϵi)=σ2∀iVar(\epsilon_i) = \sigma^2 \quad \forall iVar(ϵi)=σ2∀i

6. No Autocorrelation: Error terms are not correlated with each other.

Proof of Gauss-Markov Theorem:

Consider a simple linear regression model:

Y=β0+β1X+ϵY = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X + \epsilonY=β0+β1X+ϵ

where:

• YYY is the dependent variable

• XXX is the independent variable

• β0,β1\beta_0, \beta_1β0,β1 are the regression coefficients

• ϵ\epsilonϵ is the error term

The OLS estimators for β0\beta_0β0 and β1\beta_1β1 are given by:

β1^=∑(Xi−Xˉ)(Yi−Yˉ)∑(Xi−Xˉ)2\hat{\beta_1} = \frac{\sum (X_i - \bar{X}) (Y_i - \bar{Y})}{\sum

(X_i - \bar{X})^2}β1^=∑(Xi−Xˉ)2∑(Xi−Xˉ)(Yi−Yˉ) β0^=Yˉ−β1^Xˉ\hat{\beta_0} = \bar{Y} -
\hat{\beta_1} \bar{X}β0^=Yˉ−β1^Xˉ

To prove that OLS is BLUE, we need to show that it is:

1. Linear: The estimators are linear combinations of the observed values.

2. Unbiased: E[β1^]=β1E[\hat{\beta_1}] = \beta_1E[β1^]=β1 and

E[β0^]=β0E[\hat{\beta_0}] = \beta_0E[β0^]=β0.

3. Minimum Variance: Among all linear unbiased estimators, OLS has the smallest
variance.

Using properties of expectation and variance, we can show that OLS estimators satisfy all
these conditions, proving that OLS is BLUE.

Conclusion:
Thus, under the Gauss-Markov assumptions, the OLS estimator is the best linear unbiased
estimator (BLUE) for regression coefficients.

(b) Check if the given sets are subspaces of R3\mathbb{R}^3R3

Given sets:

(i) W={(a,b,c)∣a2+b2+c2≤1}W = \{(a,b,c) \mid a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \leq

1\}W={(a,b,c)∣a2+b2+c2≤1}
(ii) W={(a,b,c)∣a=b=c}W = \{(a,b,c) \mid a = b = c\}W={(a,b,c)∣a=b=c}

A subspace of R3\mathbb{R}^3R3 must satisfy three conditions:

1. Contains the zero vector (0,0,0)

2. Closed under addition: If u,v∈Wu, v \in Wu,v∈W, then u+v∈Wu + v \in Wu+v∈W

3. Closed under scalar multiplication: If u∈Wu \in Wu∈W, then λu∈W\lambda u \in
Wλu∈W for any scalar λ\lambdaλ

Checking (i): W={(a,b,c)∣a2+b2+c2≤1}W = \{(a,b,c) \mid a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \leq

1\}W={(a,b,c)∣a2+b2+c2≤1}

• Zero Vector? (0,0,0) satisfies 02+02+02=0≤10^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 = 0 \leq

102+02+02=0≤1.

• Addition? Not necessarily true since sum of two vectors in WWW may exceed 1.

• Scalar Multiplication? Not always true (e.g., multiplying by a large scalar can
violate the condition).
Not a Subspace

Checking (ii): W={(a,b,c)∣a=b=c}W = \{(a,b,c) \mid a = b = c\}W={(a,b,c)∣a=b=c}

• Zero Vector? (0,0,0) is included.

• Addition? If (a,a,a)+(b,b,b)=(a+b,a+b,a+b)(a, a, a) + (b, b, b) = (a+b, a+b,

a+b)(a,a,a)+(b,b,b)=(a+b,a+b,a+b), which is still of the same form.

• Scalar Multiplication? λ(a,a,a)=(λa,λa,λa)\lambda (a,a,a) = (\lambda a, \lambda

a, \lambda a)λ(a,a,a)=(λa,λa,λa) which is still in WWW.
It is a Subspace

Final Answer:

• Set (i) is NOT a subspace.

• Set (ii) is a subspace.

Question 4

(a) Fit a Straight Line for Given Data

Given Data:

x=[1,2,3,4,5]x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]x=[1,2,3,4,5] y=[2,4,5,4,5]y = [2, 4, 5, 4, 5]y=[2,4,5,4,5]

We assume a linear relationship:

y=a+bxy = a + bxy=a+bx

Step 1: Compute Means

xˉ=1+2+3+4+55=3,yˉ=2+4+5+4+55=4\bar{x} = \frac{1+2+3+4+5}{5} = 3, \quad \bar{y} =

\frac{2+4+5+4+5}{5} = 4xˉ=51+2+3+4+5=3,yˉ=52+4+5+4+5=4

Step 2: Compute Slope (bbb)

b=∑(xi−xˉ)(yi−yˉ)∑(xi−xˉ)2b = \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x}) (y_i - \bar{y})}{\sum (x_i -

\bar{x})^2}b=∑(xi−xˉ)2∑(xi−xˉ)(yi−yˉ)
b=(1−3)(2−4)+(2−3)(4−4)+(3−3)(5−4)+(4−3)(4−4)+(5−3)(5−4)(1−3)2+(2−3)2+(3−3)2+(4−3)2+(5
−3)2b = \frac{(1-3)(2-4) + (2-3)(4-4) + (3-3)(5-4) + (4-3)(4-4) + (5-3)(5-4)}{(1-3)^2 + (2-3)^2 +
(3-3)^2 + (4-3)^2 + (5-
3)^2}b=(1−3)2+(2−3)2+(3−3)2+(4−3)2+(5−3)2(1−3)(2−4)+(2−3)(4−4)+(3−3)(5−4)+(4−3)(4−4)+(
5−3)(5−4) b=(−2)(−2)+(−1)(0)+(0)(1)+(1)(0)+(2)(1)(−2)2+(−1)2+02+12+22b = \frac{(−2)(−2) +
(−1)(0) + (0)(1) + (1)(0) + (2)(1)}{(-2)^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 +
2^2}b=(−2)2+(−1)2+02+12+22(−2)(−2)+(−1)(0)+(0)(1)+(1)(0)+(2)(1)
b=4+0+0+0+24+1+0+1+4=610=0.6b = \frac{4 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2}{4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4} = \frac{6}{10} =
0.6b=4+1+0+1+44+0+0+0+2=106=0.6

Step 3: Compute Intercept (aaa)

a=yˉ−bxˉa = \bar{y} - b \bar{x}a=yˉ−bxˉ a=4−(0.6×3)=4−1.8=2.2a = 4 - (0.6 \times 3) = 4 - 1.8

= 2.2a=4−(0.6×3)=4−1.8=2.2

Final Equation of the Line:

y=2.2+0.6xy = 2.2 + 0.6xy=2.2+0.6x

(b) Hypothesis Testing for Popularity of Rice vs. Wheat

We perform a proportion test at α=0.01\alpha = 0.01α=0.01.

• Rice eaters: p1=5401000=0.54p_1 = \frac{540}{1000} = 0.54p1=1000540=0.54

• Wheat eaters: p2=1−0.54=0.46p_2 = 1 - 0.54 = 0.46p2=1−0.54=0.46

Step 1: Null Hypothesis & Alternative Hypothesis

• H0H_0H0 (Null Hypothesis): Rice and wheat eaters are equally popular (p=0.5p =
0.5p=0.5).

• HaH_aHa (Alternative Hypothesis): They are not equally popular (p≠0.5p \neq
0.5p =0.5).

Step 2: Compute z-score

z=p^−pp(1−p)nz = \frac{\hat{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}z=np(1−p)p^−p
z=0.54−0.50.5(0.5)1000=0.040.0158=2.53z = \frac{0.54 - 0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{1000}}} =
\frac{0.04}{0.0158} = 2.53z=10000.5(0.5)0.54−0.5=0.01580.04=2.53

Since z=2.53z = 2.53z=2.53 is greater than z0.01=2.33z_{0.01} = 2.33z0.01=2.33, we reject

H0H_0H0, meaning rice eaters are significantly more popular.
