In a two-way classified data with usual notations, the null hypothesis for blocks or varieties is:
Key Points
The notation H0: Bj = 0 is a general representation of the null hypothesis for block or variety effects in a two-way classified data analysis.
Which of the following is a merit of data tabulation?
In seasonal variations, the duration of time is not more than:
If a constant is added to each observation of a data set, then which of the following measures of dispersion will change?
Which of the following is NOT true for seasonal variation?
The analysis of variance technique was developed by:
For the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the minimum possible value of \(\rm \Sigma_{i=1}^n(x_i-A)^2\) can be attained at:
Suppose that a sample of 100 independent draws from a normal distribution having unknown mean μ and known variance σ2 = 1 is observed. If the sample mean is 5, then the 95% confidence interval for μ is:
Consider the following ANOVA table.
| Source of variation | Degrees of freedom | The sum of Squares (SS) | Mean SS | F Ratio |
| Treatments | a | b | c | 5 |
| Error | 12 | d | 20 | |
| Total | 15 | 540 |
If the mean, mode and quartile deviation of a distribution is 2, 7 and 3, respectively, then Karl Pearson's coefficient of skewness is given by:
The component containing the overall upward or downward pattern of the data in an annual time series is:
Methods of presentation of data are:
Consider 35 i.i.d. observations X1, X2, ...., X15 and Y1, Y2, ..., Y20. Let R be the Wilcoxon's rank sum statistic based on the ranks of the X' s in the combined sample. Then the expected value of R is
Let I, J > 5. Consider two-way ANOVA, where the observations satisfy the linear model
yij = α + βi + γj + εij, 1 ≤ i ≤ I, 1 ≤ j ≤ J
E(εij) = 0, Var(εij) = σ2, \(\sum_{i=1}^{!} β_i=\sum_{j=1}^j γ_j=0 .\)

Let X1,X2,...,Xn be a random sample from exponential distribution with mean θ. Which of the following is NOT a sufficient statistic for θ?
A newly developed algorithm for random number generation needs to be tested. The first step is to check whether the sequence of numbers generated can be considered a random sample from the uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1). Which of the following is an appropriate nonparametric test?
