...questions. All questions carry equal marks. (4 X 5) The answer should be limited upto 200 words. 1) What is statistics? Explain the nature and limitations of statistics? 2) What is frequency distribution? What are the different types of frequency distribution? 3) What is frequency curve? Explain cumulative frequency curve with example? 4) Suppose mean of a series of 5 item is30.four values are respectively, 10, 15, 30 and 35.estimate the missing 5th value of the series. ANSWER : Mean = (10+15+30+35+x)/5=30 Therefore, x=(30*50)-( 10+15+30+35) i.e x = 150-90, hence x=60 5) Calculate median of the following distribution of data. Class interval | 0-5 | 5-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-50 | 50-70 | 70-100 | frequency | 12 | 15 | 25 | 40 | 42 | 14 | 8 | n= 12+15+25+40+42+14+8=156 Hence median is at the average of n/2 & (n/2 +1) positon i.e 78th & 79th position Class interval | 0-5 | 5-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-50 | 50-70 | 70-100 | frequency | 12 | 15 | 25 | 40 | 42 | 14 | 8 | Position 12 27 52 92 134 148 156 6) Calculate the coefficient of correlation between the age of husbands and wives: Age of husband (yrs) | 21 | 22 | 28 | 32 | 35 | 36 | Age of wives (yrs) | 18 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 31 | 32 | SECTION B Note: -All questions are compulsory.

...International Business In Assignment 1, you are required to do a case analysis of Sharp Corporation, a Japanese company. If you haven’t already done so, review the Assignment Tips and Requirements and the Note on Case Analysis (links are on the instructions page for this assignment). The objective of the case study for Assignment 1 is to expose students to globalization and its impact on operational decisions of companies. Faced with major losses, Sharp Corporation is forced to question its long-standing operating model and to develop a new approach that is more suitable to the environment it now competed in. Completing this assignment will enable you to see how the key concepts presented in Lessons 1 through 3—globalization, culture, and political and economic risk—are interconnected. You will be able to evaluate interrelationships among issues related to (i) the role of globalization in investment decisions and company operations; (ii) the role of economic environment in creating global companies; (iii) the importance of property rights in international business; and (iv) the role of national culture in company operations.

It remains in its original building which is itself of architectural importance. Unfortunately, the passage of time has meant that the condition of the building has deteriorated and so it requires continual repair and maintenance. Alterations have also been made to ensure that the building complies with the disability access and health and safety laws of the country. However, these alterations have been criticised as being unsympathetic and out of character with the rest of the building. The building is in a previously affluent area of the capital city.

...the study showed that the F.O.Es were strongly correlated with arithmetic errors and properties of the triplets. This finding indicates that even very fast metacognitive feelings are reliable when it comes to evaluating one’s own mental performance. The occurrence of F.O.E is determined also by the fluency with each triplet was solved and the post decision process after answering. In addition the participants were asked to report their confidence in their answer when there was no report of an F.O.E. This was to test whether there was a feeling of error on a sub-conscious level even when it wasn’t consciously reported. AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT: 1. To prove metacognitive feeling of error is a reliable error signal during calculation. 2. The fluency and post decision evaluation processes jointly determine feelings of error 3. Implicit detection of error can occur even when no feeling of error is reported METHODS ADOPTED FOR THE EXPERIMENT IN THE JOURNAL: Thirty volunteers participated in the study. The volunteers did not include participants who were mathematically inclined like...
