    This document outlines an exam for a quantitative analysis course. It includes 6 questions in Section A worth 15 marks each, and 2 questions in Section B worth 40 marks each. Question topics include modes and grouped data, binomial distributions, sampling methods, rank correlation, hypothesis testing of average life, and short notes on statistical concepts. The last question asks students to interpret a t-test result comparing a sample's mean and standard life to a manufacturer's claim.

    rtn June, 2018
    C
    MS-008 : QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS FOR
    MANAGERIAL APPLICATIONS

    Time : 3 hours Maximum Marks : 100


    (Weightage : 70%)
    Note : (i) Section A has six questions, each carrying
    15 marks. Attempt any four questions from
    this section.
    (ii) Section B is compulsory and carries 40 marks.
    Attempt both questions.
    (iii) Use of calculator is permissible.

    SECTION - A
    1. What is mode and the modal class ? State the
    equation of obtaining mode from grouped data.
    What do the various elements in the equation for
    mode signify ? Give some merits and demerits of
    mode.

    2. Given that 25 per cent of the bottles in a godown


    contain milk unfit for consumption. The salesman
    at a retail outlet offers 5 bottles for sales on
    demand. Find,
    (a) Average number of bottles containing bad
    milk
    (b) Variance of the resultant binomial
    distribution

    MS-008 1 P.T.O.
    3. Bring out the points of similarities and differences
    between stratified sampling and cluster sampling.
    Which one is preferred in what circumstances ?

    4. Nine management graduates appeared before a


    selection board consisting of two expert members
    (X and Y) for a post of probationary officer in a
    certain bank. If the rank order assigned by each
    of the two members is as given below, find the
    coefficient of rank correlation.

    Rank order (X) 1 5 4 6 8 3 9 2 7


    Rank order (Y) 2 6 3 If)
    8 4 7 1 9

    5. It is claimed that a certain brand of video cassettes


    has an average running life of 75 hours with a
    variance of 49 hours. In order to verify the claim,
    a buyer performs a test check on 36 cassettes. He
    decides to place order for bulk purchase of the
    average running life is at the most within 2 hours
    on either side of the claim made. Find the risk of
    not placing the order when the claim about
    average running life of cassettes is indeed 75 hours.
    (Given area under the standard normal curve
    from z to 00 is 0.04363)

    6. Write short notes on any three of the following :


    (a) Scaler matrix
    (b) Skewness
    (c) Sampling with replacement
    (d) Pascal Distribution
    (e) Exponential Smoothing

    MS-008 2
    SECTION - B
    7. Discuss the applications of quantitative
    techniques in various functional areas of
    management.

    8. A manufacturer of electric tubes finds his tubes


    have an average life of 1200 hours. To maintain
    this standard he keeps checking a sample of
    18 tubes every now and then for their average
    life. He remains satisfied with the average life of
    tubes if the computed t values falls between — t 0.01
    0.01 . What conclusion should the and+t
    manufacturer draw if a given sample yields mean
    life of 1205 hours and standard deviation of
    9 hours ?
    (Given the tabulated value of t is 2.567)
