Question
(d) Based on the graphical representation that you
have constructed in Part 1(c), interpret,discuss and draw
conclusions. Comments on your findings.
Answer:
Based on the graphical representations that I have
constructed in Part 1(c), it is shown that there are large
and small differences among the prices of items in each
category between the shops.In the food category, the
smallest price difference are of those of sugar, while the
highest is the price of eggs. Besides food, detergent also
shows a large price difference between its items.
Among them is the price of liquid dishwasher and
clothes detergent. On the other hand,stationery items
doesn¶t have any obvious price difference. The graph
also show that most of the items that are high priced
comes from the Boulevard Supermarket, while the
lowest price items come from the Discount Store.The
graph 1(d) will show the conclusion of the difference
among the shops based upon the shops grand total.

Question
(e) Identify an item that has a large price difference
among the shops. Calculate the mean and standard
deviation of that particular item. Hence, suggest and
discuss possible reasons for the price difference.
Answer:
Liquid dishwasher:
r rr
Mean=
=17.47
Standard deviation
= ¥(ɯ²)/N ± ( ɯ Ѻ )²
r r r
=¥ - (17.47)²
=0.97
The large price difference of clothes detergent among
the shops maybe because of the standard of the shop.A
high standard shop or supermarket, the items sold
intend to be much more expensive than a regular shop
or supermarket.Also, the price difference of the items
may also due to the quality of the item present. A better
quality means a higher price.

Question
(c)(i) Find out from reliable sources how to determine
suitable capacity of air conditioner to be installed based
on the volume/size of a room.
Answer:
For common usage,air conditioner is rated according to
horse power (1HP), which is approximately 700W to
1000W of electrical power. It is suitable for a room size
1000ft which is around 27m of volume.
Question
(ii) Work in groups to estimate the volume of your
school library. Explain how you arrive at your answer.
Hence, determine the number of air conditioners with
the appropriate capacity required for your library.
Answer:
By using a measuring tape,the dimension for the library
is:
Height=3.6m
Width=9.17m
Length=20.12m
Volume of the room=3.6
9.17
20.12
=664.20m
1 unit of air conditioner is for 27m
È
For 664.20m =
=24.6
That means our school library needs 25 unit of air
conditioner.
Question
(iii) If your class intends to sponsor one air
conditioner for the school library, how many butter
cakes must your class sell in order to buy the air
conditioner?
Answer:
1 unit of 1HP air conditioner=RM700
Cost for a cake =0.9+0.36+4.3+2.1 =7.66
Selling price =RM19.30
Profit =19.30-7.66
=RM11.64
Number of cakes to buy 1 unit of air conditioner =

Further Exploration
Index numbers are being used in many different daily
situations, for example air pollution index, stock market
index, gold index and property index.
Obtain information from the internet or other reliable sources
on the importance of two different types of index number of
your choice. Elaborate the use and the importance of these
index numbers in daily life.
Air Pollution Index
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter,
or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or
other living organisms, or damages the natural environment into
the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is
essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone
depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to
human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) (also known as the Air Pollution
Index (API) or Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) is a number used by
government agencies to characterize the quality of the air at a given
location. As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of
the population is likely to experience increasingly severe adverse
health effects. To compute the AQI requires an air pollutant
concentration from a monitor or model. The function used to convert
from air pollutant concentration to AQI varies by pollutant, and is
different in different countries. Air quality index values are divided
into ranges, and each range is assigned a descriptor and a color code.
Standardized public health advisories are associated with each AQI
range. An agency might also encourage members of the public to take
public transportation or work from home when AQI levels are high.
0-50 Good A level that will not impact patients suffering from diseases related to air pollution.
51-
Moderate A level which may have a meager impact on patients in case of chronic exposure.
100
101- Unhealthy for A level that may have harmful impacts on patients and members of sensitive
150 sensitive groups groups.
A level that may have harmful impacts on patients and members of sensitive
151-
Unhealthy groups (children, aged or weak people), and also cause the general public
250
unpleasant feelings.
251- A level which may have a serious impact on patients and members of sensitive
Very unhealthy
350 groups in case of acute exposure.
351- A level which may need to take emergency measures for patients and members of
Hazardous
500 sensitive groups and have harmful impacts on the general public.

Oalaysia
The air quality in Malaysia is reported as the API or Air Pollution
Index. Four of the index's pollutant components (i.e., carbon
monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide) are reported
in PM10 particulate matter is reported in ȝg/m³.
Unlike the American AQI, the index number can exceed 500. Above
500, a state of emergency is declared in the reporting area. Usually,
this means that non-essential government services are suspended, and
all ports in the affected area closed. There may also be a prohibition
on private sector commercial and industrial activities in the reporting
area excluding the food sector.

More specialised indices exist tracking the performance of specific
sectors of the market. The Morgan Stanley Biotech Index, for
example, consists of 36 American firms in the biotechnology industry.
Other indices may track companies of a certain size, a certain type of
management, or even more specialized criteria one index
published by Linux Weekly News tracks stocks of companies that sell
products and services based on the Linux operating environment.
Index versions
Some indices, such as the S&P 500, have multiple versions.[1] These
versions can differ based on how the index components
are weighted and on how dividends are accounted for. For example,
there are three versions of the S&P 500 index: price return, which
only considers the price of the components, total return, which
accounts for dividend reinvestment, and net total return, which
accounts for dividend reinvestment after the deduction of a
withholding tax. As another example, the Wilshire 4500 and Wilshire
5000 indices have five versions each: full capitalization total return,
full capitalization price, float-adjusted total return, float-adjusted
price, and equal weight. The difference between the full
capitalization, float-adjusted, and equal weight versions is in how
index components are weighted. cc

Conclusion
After doing research,answering questions,drawing graphs and
some problem solving, I saw that the usage of statistics is
important in daily life.It is not just widely used in markets but
also in interpreting the condition of the surrounding like the air or
the water.Especially in conducting an air-pollution survey.In
coclusion,statistics is a daily life nessecities.Without it,surveys
can¶t be conducted,the stock market can¶t be interpret and many
more.So,we should be thankful of the people who contribute in
the idea of statistics.
