Answer to Q-1.
Most of the decision making involves uncertainty, study of probability helps in assigning
probabilities to an event. If we talk about the example mentioned in the question, the events
are like that, it is Indian Premier League final season and the preferred group is Garuda.
According to Raj Kaul, Garuda’s win possibility is 60% based on his analyses. Records
shows that team who won the championship, they win the first match 70% of the time. And
when they lose the championship, they win the first game 25% of the time.
The team has lost their first game, now the probability that they will win the series is-
GARUDA
0.6
0.4
WIN THE FIRST GAME LOST THE FIRST GAME WIN THE FIRST GAME LOST THE
FIRST GAME
Probability of Winning the series and first game = 0.6 * 0.7 = 0.42
Probability of Winning the series and losing first game = 0.6 * 0.30 = 0.18
Probability of Losing the series and winning the first game = 0.4 * 0.25 = 0.1
Probability of Losing the series and losing the first game = 0.4 * 0.75 = 0.3
Tree diagram shows all the possible outcomes from a scenario by displaying all the
conditions. Tree diagram starts with one node and each node then connects to form branches,
giving a tree like structure. Probability tree list on the possible occurrences of events and
calculate the chances of each event.
With the help of this tree diagram, team Garuda can understand about the possible outcomes
in the series and how they need to move along to win the series.
We have to find the probability that Garuda win the series that is P (W/F”)
Answer to Q-2.
Regression Analysis is the process of constructing a mathematical function that can be used to find
one variable by another given variable. The most basic one is the simple regression involving 2
variables, in which one variable is predicted using the other variable. The variable to be predicted is
called the dependent variable and the other one is called independent variable.

Sum = 86 Sum = 93 Sum = 340 Sum=320 Sum=377
Now we find-
n
X ¿ 1/n ∑ Xi
i=0
= 86 /27 = 3.18518

Y ¿ 1/n ∑ Yi
i=0
= 93/27 = 3.444444444

SSxx=∑ X 2 − ¿
i=1 N
= 320 - 86 2 / 27 = 46.0740
n

SSyy=∑ Y 2− ¿
i=1 N
= 93/27 = 43.777
As a result, using the computations above, the regression coefficients (the inclination m and
the Y-intercept n) were just as follows:
M = SSxy / SSxx = 43.77777/ 46.074074
= 0.9502
N = Y – X *m = 3.4444444- 3.185185185 *0.9502
= 0.418
The first step in calculating the equation of regression line is to establish the equations form. In
regression analysis, mathematicians use the slope intercept equation of a line, which is shown as
y = mx + b
B1 is slope of the regression formula and b1 = 0.9502, which shows a favourable relationship as scale
is from 1 to 5. There should be more research done to get inside the head of the target audience, there
are other methods like surveys, social media, interviews, expert opinion, for the research purposes.
Since the scale is from 1 to 5 and the value of regression equation of b1 is 0.9502, tells us about the
good link between them. An increase in the scores offers by customers will lead increase in customer
satisfaction rating which in turn increases the business. Thus this kind of data useful for Shivani Raje
who is selling through e-commerce and her business is growing steadily.
Hence,
Relative frequency = F1/ Total frequency
= 2915/6651
= 0.43
Relative frequency is the proportion of the total frequency that is given in any class interval in a
distribution. Relative frequency is individual class frequency divided by total frequency.
From this chart above, it is clearly visible that West Tripura has maximum number of MSME.

Median is the middle value in an ordered array of numbers, for an array with odd numbers,
median is the middle number and for an array with even number of terms, median is the
average of two middle numbers. First we need to arrange the terms in ordered way, for an
odd number find the middle number and for an even terms, find the average of two middle
terms and that is the media.
