Assertion (A): For two attributes A and B, if (AB) > (A)(B)/N, they are positively associated. Reason (R): Positive association means they occur together more often than expected under independence. Choose the correct option: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): For two attributes A and B, if (AB) > (A)(B)/N, they are positively associated. Reason (R): Positive association means they occur together more often than expected under independence. Choose the correct option:
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
C. A is true, R is false
D. A is false, R is true
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
If observed joint frequency exceeds the expected under independence, it indicates positive association. R explains A perfectly.

Question #1
For a set of numbers, the sum of squared deviations from the arithmetic mean is 100 and n=10. The variance is:
A. 10
B. 1
C. 9
D. 11.11

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Population variance = 100/10 = 10. Sample variance would be 100/9≈11.11, but question likely assumes population. I'll specify 'if data is population', but not specified. I'll assume population for simplicity.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Fisher's ideal index satisfies both time reversal and factor reversal tests. Reason (R): Fisher's index is the geometric mean of Laspeyres and Paasche indices. Choose the correct option:
A. A is true, R is false
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
C. A is false, R is true
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fisher's index indeed satisfies both tests, and the formula (geometric mean) is the reason it meets these tests.
