It is believed that job satisfaction is related to pay. A study was conducted where 400 respondents were asked about their monthly salary and level of job satisfaction. The data collected are given below.
| Salary (Rs./Month) | No. of Respondents with Level of Job | Total | ||
| Low | Medium | |||
| ≤ 25000 | 20 | 30 | 70 | 120 |
| > 25000 but ≤ 50000 | 20 | 40 | 90 | 150 |
| > 50000 | 10 | 30 | 90 | 130 |
| Total | 50 | 100 | 250 | 400 |
A pair of respondents ( \(R 1, R 2\) ) with salary of \(R 1\) greater than salary of \(R 2\) and with job satisfaction of R1 greater than job satisfaction of R2 is called a concordant pair. Then the observed number of concordant pairs is
Cases filed in different courts may be pending (not yet processed to completion) or closed. The total number of cases pending from previous years, the total number of new cases filed this year and the total number of cases closed this year in different courts across four states are given below.
| State |
Pending cases from |
New cases filed this year |
Cases closed this year |
| S1 | 52753 | 17004 | 25252 |
| S2 | 1217 | 7005 | 3414 |
| S3 | 117328 | 32766 | 23722 |
| S4 | 12876 | 2251 | 3731 |
Assuming that the total number of cases filed and getting closed remain approximately the same over the years, which states are likely to see a decrease in the total number of pending cases next year?
Customers calling up a call center often need to wait before being attended to. In order to study the waiting time of customers, data were collected on waiting times of 200 calls. The following is a graphical representation of the observed waiting times. Note that the bar marked \(a - b\) includes all waiting times \(t\) such that \(a \leq t \lt b\). A call is said to have waiting time 0 in case it is answered as soon as it is connected to the call center.
The lowest possible value of the average of the observed waiting times is closest to
A product can have at most 3 defects D1, D2 and D3. Suppose 1000 samples of the product are inspected and the number of samples with different combinations of defects are tabulated as follows:
| Sl. No. | Defects | Number of Samples | ||
| D1 | D2 | D3 | ||
| 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes | 20 |
| 2 | Yes | Yes | No | 50 |
| 3 | Yes | No | Yes | 130 |
| 4 | Yes | No | No | 200 |
| 5 | No | Yes | Yes | 100 |
| 6 | No | Yes | No | 50 |
| 7 | No | No | Yes | 50 |
| 8 | No | No | No | 400 |
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A city is divided into three regions \(P, Q\) and R. A survey was conducted in each of the regions to get an idea of the proportion of males and proportion of females who feel safe or unsafe. Accordingly, 250 males and 250 females were interviewed and the following were observed:
Regions |
Number of Males who | Number of Females who | ||
| Feel Safe | Feel Unsafe | Feel Safe | Feel Unsafe | |
| P | 90 | 10 | 20 | 10 |
| Q | 30 | 20 | 40 | 60 |
| R | 80 | 20 | 60 | 60 |
The three regions can be ordered based on the differences in the proportion of males and proportion of females feeling safe as:
