Need help in Stats
N10/P22/Q7
(i) (a) Simple average = (109 + 107 + 113 + 110 + 106)/5 = 545/5 = 109.
(b) Notice that in the first two columns the items are different and their respective weights are different. The simple average does not take either of these into account as it only considers the average of the price relatives.

(ii) Weighted aggregate price index = (109 x 6 + 107 x 4 + 113 x 5 + 110 x 2 + 106 x 3)/(6+4+5+2+3) = 2185/20 = 109.25. To the nearest integer, this would be 109.

(iii) Price relative = P1/P2 x 100 = 113/109 x 100 = 103.67. Again, to the nearest integer, your answer is 104.

(iv) Honestly not sure about this part. Hope someone else can answer.

(v) (a) The values would differ because the base date is different in both cases. The prices of the items were not same on the base dates. Infact, the prices increased from January to June.

Re: O'level Maths, Addmaths and Statistics help available he

Thank u so much, it solved my confusiong but may I ask that as they had asked us in (i) a) to use Janurary 1st as Base year but as 1st janurary isn't given in the table so why have u divided the total with 5 ??

The prices are already given with regard to 1st January as the base date so there's no need for a 'January' column. There are a total of 5 items so to find the simple average of relatives index, we divide by 5. (The obvious rule of taking averages :) )

Re: O'level Maths, Addmaths and Statistics help available he

So its a question from Differentials topic.

Calculate the gradient(s) of the curve at the point(s) where it crosses the given line.
y = 2x^3 - 8 , x-axis

The answer in the book is +8, -8 !!Now im pretty much sure its wrong.Cuz im getting 15.sumthing!! :)

Re: O'level Maths, Addmaths and Statistics help available he

^Same here. I get 15.1 approximately.
There is clearly a misprint in the question or the answer at the back of the book is incorrect! Move on.

Assalamoalaikum!! :)

Firstly, apologies for the late reply. :oops:
Anyways, your answer is correct, there's been a misprint in the question, it was supposed to be 2x^2 and not 2x^3!! ;)

And according to the question given, your answer is correct. :)

Hope this helped!
Jazak Allah Khair!

^Exatly! With x^3 you get one answer i.e. 15.1, whereas using x^2 gives you two answers as given in the book.

ok so what to do next after this
y=2x^2-8
y=4x-0

Talkin bout my question, are you??
Here's the solution..
dy/dx = 2x^2 - 8
= 2(2x^2-1) - 0
= 4x
And taking out the value ov x,
2x^2 - 8 = 0
x^2 - 4 = 0
x^2 = 4
x = +2, -2

Substituting the values,
4*+2 = +8
4*-2 = -8..!!
:D
