Statistics Exam for BSc Students

1) The document provides a statistics exam with 6 questions covering topics like measures of dispersion, mean, median, standard deviation, probability, distribution functions, expected value, correlation, and rank correlation. 2) Question 1 asks about measures of dispersion and computing standard deviation from a frequency distribution. Question 2 involves finding geometric mean, median, quartiles, and checking if the sum of deviations is zero. 3) Question 3 computes price indices using different methods and years as the base. Question 4 defines statistical terms and computes probability. Question 5 concerns distribution functions and expected value. Question 6 deals with correcting errors in computing correlation and finding rank correlation.
