Please note that it is the candidate's responsibility to encode and fill in the Roll Number and Test Booklet Series A, B, C or D carefully and without any omission or diserepancy at the appropriate places in the OMR Answer Sheet. Any omission/discrepancy will render the Answer Sheet Hable for rejection. 3. You have to enter your Roll Number on the Test Booklet in the Box provided alongside. DO NOT write anything else on the Test Booklet. This Test Booklet contains 80 items (questions). Each item comprises four responses (answers), ‘You will select the response which yall want to mark on the Answer Sheet. In case you feel that there is more than one correct response, mark the response which you consider the best. In any case, choose ONLY ONE response for cach item, 5. You have to mark your responses ONLY on the separate Answer Sheet provided. See directions in the Answer Sheet, 6. Ail items carry equal marks, 7. Before you proceed to mark in the Answer Sheet the response to various items in the Test Booklet, you have to fill in some particulars in the Answer Sheet as per instructions sent to you with your Admission Certificate. 8. After you have completed filling in all your respanses on the Answer Shect and the examination has concluded, you should hand over to the Invigilator only the Answer Sheet. You are permitted to take away with you the Test Booklet. 9. Sheets for rough work are appended in the Test Booklet at the end. 10. Penalty for wrong answers : THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS MARKED BY A CANDIDATE IN THE OBJECTIVE TYPE QUESTION PAPERS. (i) There are four alternatives for the answer to every question. For each question for which a wwrong answer has been given by the candidate, one-third of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty. \didate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one of iven answers happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that question, (si) If a question is left blank, i.c., no anawer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question. * DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO sO1, The following ANOVA table is obtained for a two-variable linear regression Source of | Degrees af | Sum of variation freedom squares Regression 1 122.5 Residual 3 775 Totat 4 200:0 ‘The correlation between the regressor and the regressand is fa) 0.3875 fb) 0:6125 fe) 0.6225 (ay 0- 7826 2.
