Question 1:

Procedure:
1. Enter Data:
• In a new Excel sheet, list the marks intervals in one column and the
corresponding frequency in the next column.
2. Calculate Cumulative Frequency (Less Than Ogive):
• In an adjacent column, compute the cumulative sum from the lowest
interval upward (e.g., for the first interval it’s 9; for the second, add
9+14; etc.).
3. Calculate Reverse Cumulative Frequency (More Than Ogive):
• Starting from the highest interval, calculate the running total in reverse
(e.g., for the last interval it’s 5; for the one before, 5+10; etc.).
4. Determine Class Boundaries:
• Use the upper class boundaries for the less than ogive and the lower
boundaries for the more than ogive.
5. Create the Charts:
• Highlight the cumulative data with class boundaries.
• Insert a Line Chart (using the “Insert” → “Line” option) for the less
than ogive.
• Repeat for the more than ogive using the reverse cumulative
frequencies.
6. Format and Label:
• Add appropriate axis labels (e.g., “Marks” on the horizontal axis and
“Cumulative Frequency” on the vertical axis) and a title.

represents wind velocity and the y-axis represents drift velocity.

Question 3:

Procedure:
1. Set Up the Spreadsheet:
• Create a header section with the title “Payroll” and the date.
• In a table format, list each employee’s details (Employee Number,
Name, Hourly Rate, Hours Worked).
2. Calculate Gross Pay:

3. Calculate Social Security Tax (S.S Tax):
• In the “S.S Tax” column, compute 6% of Gross Pay with:
=Gross Pay * 6%
• For instance, if Gross Pay is in E2, use:
=E2*0.06
4. Calculate Net Pay:
• In the “Net Pay” column, subtract S.S Tax from Gross Pay:
=Gross Pay - S.S Tax
 • For example:
=E2 - F2

2. Use VLOOKUP:
• For the employee with ID 56815, use a formula like:
3. =VLOOKUP(56815, Table_Range, 4, FALSE)
(Assuming the “Salary” is in the 4th column of your table.)
• Similarly, for ID 51186:
=VLOOKUP(51186, Table_Range, 4, FALSE)

Question 7:

Question 9:
Procedure:
1. Enter or Confirm the Data Table:
• Make sure your table includes all relevant columns (EmployeeID,
Name, Salary, Age, etc.).
2. For Employee ID Lookup (Part a):
• Use VLOOKUP to search by EmployeeID. For example:
3. =VLOOKUP(58369, Table_Range, Column_Number_For_Name, FALSE)
• If the ID is not found, Excel will return an error which you can handle with
IFERROR if needed.
 4. For Name-Based Lookup (Part b and c):
• To find the age of Estelle Cormack, use:
5. =VLOOKUP("Estelle Cormack", Table_Range, Column_Number_For_Age,
FALSE)
• To find the salary of Ian Nash, use:

6. Double-Check Your Data:
• Ensure that the table’s first column (or the lookup column) is sorted if
you’re using approximate match functions (though here FALSE is used for
an exact match).
• Adjust column numbers in the formula to match your table layout.

Question 10:
Procedure:
1. Enter Data:
• List the marks in a single column in Excel.
2. Calculate the Range:
• Use the formula:
3. =MAX(range) - MIN(range)
• This subtracts the minimum mark from the maximum mark.
4. Calculate the IQR:
• First, compute the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) using:
5. =QUARTILE.INC(range, 1)
6. =QUARTILE.INC(range, 3)
• Then calculate IQR with:
=Q3 - Q1
7. Review Results:
• Verify the computed range and IQR to ensure they correctly represent
the spread of the mark.
Step 5: Verify Results
  After applying the formulas, Excel will give the required values.
 Ensure that the data is sorted for accurate quartile calculation.

Question 11:
1. Enter the Data:

=RANK.AVG(A2, $A$2:$A$8, 1)
Copy this down for all X values.
– In column D, compute the rank for Y values similarly:
=RANK.AVG(B2, $B$2:$B$8, 1)
3. Calculate the Difference in Ranks and Its Square:
– In column E, calculate the difference for each pair:
=C2 - D2
– In column F, square the difference:
=E2^2
– Copy these formulas for all data rows.
4. Sum the Squared Differences:
– Use a SUM formula to add up the values in column F.
5. Calculate Spearman’s Rank Coefficient:
– Use the formula:
=1 - ((6 * Sum_of_d_squared) / (n*(n^2 - 1)))
where n is the number of pairs (7 in this case).
– Alternatively, you can use the CORREL function on the rank columns:
=CORREL(C2:C8, D2:D8)

 4. Forecast Sales for 2017:
– Using the displayed trendline equation (of the form y = mx + c),
substitute x = 2017.
– Alternatively, use Excel’s forecasting function:
=FORECAST.LINEAR(2017, B2:B9, A2:A9)

Question 16:
Step 1: Enter Your Data
1. Create a New Worksheet:
o Open Excel and create a new worksheet.
2. Input the Data:
o In Column A, enter the names.
o In Column B, enter the IDs.
o In Column C, enter the marks.
o For example, if you have 10 records, fill rows 2 to 11 (Row 1 can be
reserved for headers).

Step 2: Calculate Each Statistical Measure

Assume your marks are in cells C2:C11.
1. Sample Size (n):
o In a cell (e.g., E2), type:
=COUNT(C2:C11)
o This returns the number of observations (should be 10).
2. Mean (Average):
o In another cell (e.g., E3), type:
=AVERAGE(C2:C11)
o This calculates the average mark.
3. Median:
 o In cell E4, type:
=MEDIAN(C2:C11)
o This returns the middle value when the data is sorted.
4. 45th Percentile:
o In cell E5, type:
=PERCENTILE.INC(C2:C11, 0.45)
o (You can also use =PERCENTILE.EXC(C2:C11, 0.45) if preferred;
note that the two functions may yield slightly different results
depending on the data.)
5. Quartiles:
o Quartile 1 (Q1):
In cell E6, type:
=QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 1)
o Quartile 2 (Q2 / Median):
In cell E7, type:
=QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 2)
(This should match the result from the MEDIAN function.)
o Quartile 3 (Q3):
In cell E8, type:
=QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 3)
6. Variance (Sample Variance):
o In cell E9, type:
=VAR.S(C2:C11)
o This calculates the variance using the sample formula. (If you are
treating the data as an entire population, use =VAR.P(C2:C11).)
7. Standard Deviation (Sample):
o In cell E10, type:
=STDEV.S(C2:C11)
o This computes the standard deviation using the sample formula.
(For population standard deviation, use =STDEV.P(C2:C11).)
Step 3: Label Your Results
For clarity, you can label the results in Column D corresponding to the
measures in Column E. For example:
D (Measure) E (Formula/Result)
Sample Size =COUNT(C2:C11)
Mean =AVERAGE(C2:C11)
Median =MEDIAN(C2:C11)
45th Percentile =PERCENTILE.INC(C2:C11, 0.45)
Quartile 1 (Q1) =QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 1)
Quartile 2 (Q2/Median) =QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 2)
Quartile 3 (Q3) =QUARTILE.INC(C2:C11, 3)
Variance (Sample) =VAR.S(C2:C11)
Standard Deviation (Sample) =STDEV.S(C2:C11)

needed.
o Polynomial Trendline: Choose “Polynomial” (specify the order,
e.g., 2 for quadratic) and display the equation.
 o Exponential Trendline: Choose “Exponential” (ensure your data is
positive) and display the equation.
4. Customize and Compare:
– Adjust formatting as needed.
– You can add multiple trendlines (by creating separate series or
duplicate the chart) to compare their equations and goodness-of-fit.

Question 18:
1. Input the Data:
– Enter the weight data of the 50 students in a single column (e.g.,
