PART A (20 Marks)

Mrs. Kate and her organization conducted a survey in

various cities regarding "addiction to social media uses
among students". The data given below are the
observations on the number of hours spent by a student
on social media apps during one month in different 40
metro cities of India.

. ( a ) Construct a frequency distribution using the above

data.

(b) Makea histogram from your frequency table.

Would you say this distribution is best described
as symmetric or skewed?

(c) Find mean, median, variance and coefficient of

variation for the above data.

PART B

2 (a) After investigation it has been found the demand

for automobiles in a city depends mainly, if not
entirely, upon the number of families residing in
that city. Below are the given figures for the sales
of automobiles in the five cities for the year 2019
and the number of families residing in those cities.

City No. of Famlies (in lakhs): X Sale of automobiles (in "000):Y

Belagavi 70 25.2
Bangalore 28.6
Hubli 80 30.2
60 22.3
Kalaburagi
Mangalore 90 35.4

Fit a linear regression equation of Y on X by the

least square method and estimate the sales for the
year 2020 for the city Belagavi which is estimated
to have 100 lakh families assuming that the same
relationship holds true. (7.5)

(b) Assume, the population size in the case of yarn

industry is 30 whereas the population standard
deviation is 12. Suppose we take a random sample
of 8 of these yarn industries. Calculate the standard
error of the mean. (5)

3. (a) Suppose that the number of telephone calls coming

jnto a telephone exchange between 10 A.M. and
P.T.0.
1560 4

11 A.M. say, X, is arandom variable with

Poisson
distribution with parameter 2. Similarly the number
of calls arriving between 11
A.M. and 12 noon
say, X, has a Poisson distribution with parameter
6. If X, and X, are independent, what is the
probability that more than 5 calls come in between
10 A.M. and 12 noon?
(6)
(b) Conduct a statistical test to determine the
sigaificant difference between mean and variance
in the working hours of employees for 2 companies.
L Use a 10% level of significance when hours are
normally distributed. What is your conclusion?
Which company, if either, provides the greater
opportunity for quality work experiences?

4. (a) A pharmaceutical company produces two

pharmaceutical products: A and B. Production of
both these products requires the same process
Iand I. Th¿ production of B also results in a by
prodact C at no extra cost. The product A can be
sold at a profit of Rs. 3 per unit and B at a profit
of Rs. 8 per unit. Some quantity of this by-product
1560 5

can be sold at a unit profit of Rs. 2, the remainder

has to be destroyed and the destruction cost is
Re. I per unit. Forecasts show that only up to 5
units ofC can be sold. The company gets 3 units
of C for each unit of B produced. The
manufacturing times are 3 hours per unit for A on
process Iand I, respectively, and 4 hours and 5
hours per unit for B on process I and I1,
respectively. Because the product C is a byproduct
of B, no time is used in producing C. The available
times are 18 and 21 hours of process I and Il.
respectively. Formulate this problem as an LP
model to determine the quantity of A and B which
should be produced, keeping C in mind, to make
the highest total profit to the company. (6.5)

(b) Anita Electric Company produces two products

PI and P2. Products are produced and sold on a
weekly basis. The weekly production cannot
exceed 25 for product Pl and 35 for product P2
because of limited available facilities. The company
employs total of 60 workers. Product Pl requires
2 man-weeks of labour, while P2 requires one
man-week of labour. Profit margin on Pl is
Rs. 60 and on P2 is Rs. 40. Formulate this problem
as an LP problem and solve that using graphical
method. (6

(a) Three products - A, B and C are produced in

three machine centers X, Y and Z. All three
products require a part of their manufacturing
operation at each of the machine centers. The
time required for each operation on various
products is indicated in the following table. Only
100, 77 and 80 hours are available at machine
centers X, Y and Z, respectively. The profit per
unit from A, B and C is Rs. 12, Rs. 3 and Re. 1,
respectively.

(i)) Determine suitable product mix so as to

maximize the profit. Comment on the
queries (b) and (c) from the solution table
obtained.

(ii) Satisfy that full available hours of X and Y

have been utilized and there is surplus hours
of Z. Find out the surplus hours of Z.

(ii) Your aim is to utilize surplus capacity of

Z. Can you say from the table that the
introduction of more units of Y is required?

6 (a) A company has three factories F,(i = 1, 2, 3) from

which it transports the products to four warehouses
W(i = 1, 2, 3, 4). The unit costs of production at
the three factories are Rs. 4, 3, 5 respectively.
Given the following information on unit costs of
transportation, capacities at the three factories
and of the requirement at the four warehouses,
find the optimum allocation using Vogel 's
Approximation Method.

(b) A depart1ment of a company has five employees

with five jobs to be performed. The time (in hours)
that cach man takes to perform each job is given
in the effectiveness matrix.

How should the jobs be allocated, one per

employee, so as to minimize the total man-hours?

7. Write a short note on any three of the following :

(i) Advantages and disadvantages of mean median

( and mode.
