Question #2
Two events A and B are said to be mutually exclusive if:
A. P(A ∩ B) = 0
B. P(A ∪ B) = 1
C. P(A|B) = P(A)
D. P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)

Question #3
Paasche price index is calculated as:
A. Σ(p₁q₁)/Σ(p₀q₁) × 100
B. Σ(p₁q₀)/Σ(p₀q₀) × 100
C. Σ(p₁q₁)/Σ(p₀q₀) × 100
D. √[Σ(p₁q₀)/Σ(p₀q₀) × Σ(p₁q₁)/Σ(p₀q₁)] × 100

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Paasche index = Σ(p₁q₁)/Σ(p₀q₁) × 100, using current period quantities (q₁) as weights, which may understate inflation due to substitution effects but reflects current consumption patterns.
