Yule's coefficient of association Q is calculated using frequencies from a:
A. Time series data
B. 2×2 contingency table for two binary attributes
C. Frequency distribution table
D. Scatter plot
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Yule's Q = [(AB)(αβ) - (Aβ)(αB)] / [(AB)(αβ) + (Aβ)(αB)], requiring the four cell frequencies of a 2×2 table cross-classifying two dichotomous attributes.

Question #2
The weighted harmonic mean is appropriate for averaging:
A. Ratios where the denominators are the weights
B. Prices when quantities purchased are the weights
C. Test scores with equal importance
D. Speeds when distances traveled at each speed are equal

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Weighted harmonic mean = Σw / Σ(w/x), ideal for averaging rates or ratios (e.g., price per unit) when the weights correspond to the denominators (e.g., quantities), ensuring correct aggregation.

If a population has a crude birth rate of 30 and crude death rate of 10 per 1000, the natural increase rate (per 1000) is:
A. 3
B. 40
C. 20
D. 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Rate of natural increase = CBR - CDR = 30 - 10 = 20 per 1000.
