ASSIGNMENT 1

1. What is statistics? Write about different methods of organizing the raw data with
examples.
2. Construct the histogram form the following frequency distribution:

C.I. 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-67

 Nepal conducted a widespread national census in 2011 A.D. by the Nepal Central
Bureau of Statistics. They recorded data from all the municipalities and villages
of each district working with the 58 municipalities and the 3915 Village

size of population was found out to be 26,494,504 whereas the population was
23,151,423 according to the census conducted 10 years ago. Research
about the raw data obtained in the census held in 2011 A.D. and complete the
following questions:

A. Construct a histogram for age group keeping class interval as 20 years. Also, draw
bar graph.
B. Construct a pie chart for most populous ethnic groups (Chettri, Brahmin, Magar,
Tharu, Tamang, Newar, Sanyasi, Kami, Yadav and others)
C. Draw an Ogive curve for Female age group and Find Median.
D. Construct a pie chart for population in geographical regions.
E. Find out annual population growth rate from 2001 to 2011.
 3. Report Structure
Each group should produce ONE report with the following structure:

 Title of the Coursework, Name and ID numbers.

 Contents page(s):
o Introduction (a brief overview of the report).
o Summary (a brief summary of the report)
o References

4. Marking Scheme

 Individual tasks (max 10 marks) – individual input to the CWK

 Assignment diary (max 10 marks) – Continuous Assessment
 Remaining 20 marks are given to overall report which including Introduction, Summary,
and ‘Visual Presentation’ (e.g. layout, format, ‘readability’, page number etc.) of the
report.
