My purpose here is to give a few questions on fundamentals of statistics and business mathematics. I welcome your suggestions. I also request you to help me in spreading social entrepreneurship across the globe for which I need support of you people not of any VIP. With your help, I can spread the ideas for which we stand....

What is permutation & combination?

Permutation = it denotes order / Sequence butcombination = it only denotes that some objects are together example : ABC can have only one combination taking all of them together. But permutations are many : - ABC,ACB,BCA,BAC,CBA,CAB

What is formula of permutation ?

Npr = n! / (n-r)!p=permutationn= total number of objectsr=how many objects you are taking at a time! = multiply with reducing numbers till it reaches 1 example : 5p5 = 5! / (5-5)!5!=5*4*3*2*1 0! = 1 thus answer = 120 answer

How many different 4 digit letters can you make out of A,B,C,D,E?

N = 5 (A,B,C,D,E) R = 4 formula = Npr = n! / (n-r)!=5!/(5-4)! = 120 answer

How many different 4 digit numbers can you make out of 1,2,3,4,0?

N = 5 (1,2,3,4,0) R = 4 but 0 cannot come in the first digit for first digit we have 4 options (1,2,3,4), for next digits, we can use 0. thus we have 4*4*3*2*1 = 96 options OR formula = Npr = n! / (n-r)!=5!/(5-4)! but this contains all those numbers which start with 0. so let us keep 0 as fixed for 1st digit and solve it. Now we have to pick up 3 digit out of 4 contd.

contd.....

If it is not 0, permutation will be : formula = Npr = n! / (n-r)!=5!/(5-4)! = 120 Zero fixed for 1st potion, we have these options : Npr = n! / (n-r)!n=4,r=34!/(4-3)! = 24deduct this 24 from 120120 -24 = 96 answeryou can use any formula (out of these 2), you get the same answer

How many different 4 digit numbers can you make out of 1,2,3,4,0 which are divisible by 2?

Start with 96 of the last question now pick up all those which are ending with 1 : 3*3*2*1 = 18 similarly those which are ending with 33*3*2*1 = 18thus 96 (18+18) = 60 seems to be the answer

In how many ways can Raj invite any 3 of his 7 friends?

This is a question of combination. Here order (sequence) is not important, his friends can come in any order. Thus this is a case of combination. Formula : N! / ((n-r)!*r!)you can calculate combination by dividing permutation by r!=7! / ((7-3)!*3!)=(7*6*5)/(3*2*1) = 35 answer

What is effective rate of interest ?

In the case of compound interest questions, the effective rate is generally higher than the rate. For example: if rate is 20% compounded quarterly, (4 times in a year) it will be equal to : (1+20/400)^4=1.2155 so effectiveinterest here is 21.55% answer

What is present value ?

When you are trying to find the present worth of some money which is due after some time, it is called present value. Due to factors like inflation, risk, uncertainity, present value is always less. Suppose you have to get 1100 after 1 year, at a discount rate of 10% its present value is 1000. (you can see here that there is a discount of 100) Money due discount for time factor = present value

What is future value ?

Future value takes up interest and therefore it is more than the sum invested. If I invest 1000 today, with an interest rate of 10%, it will become 1100 after 1 year.

Formula for present value ?

Amount / (1+rate) ^ number of yearssuppose 1221 is due after 3 years and rate of interest is 10%, present value is : 1221 / (1+10/100)^3=917.35 answer

What is the formula for future value ?

Amount *(1+rate) ^ number of yearssuppose 1000 is invested for 3 years and rate of interest is 10% annually compounding, future value is : 1000 * (1+10/100)^3=1331 answer

How to calculate EMI?

You may use the formula for present value of annuity. Here you need a factor formula = ((1+rate)^n -1) / (rate(1+rate)^n)here n= number of instalmentsrate = rate % / number of instalments in a year*100EMI = amout to pay / factor of annuity(calculated from above formula)

What will be EMI for Rs. 5 lakh rate of interest = 10%, payable in 20 annual instalments

= ((1+rate)^n -1) / (rate(1+rate)^n)((1+10/100)^20 - 1)/(10/100 (1+10/100)^20)=5.73/.67 =8.55 EMI=500000/8.55 =58479 ANSWER

What will be EMI for Rs. 5 lakh rate of interest = 10%, payable in Monthly instalments in 20 years.

= ((1+rate)^n -1) / (rate(1+rate)^n)((1+10/1200)^240 - 1)/(10/1200* (1+10/1200)^240)6.328 / .061 =103.624EMI = 500000 / 103.624 =4825 ANSWER

What is sinking fund ?

If you deposit a sum of money every year and you are able to have a lot of money after some time this is sinking fundyou create sinking fund to purchase a new machinary / building etc it is just reverse of the EMI (where you were looking at present value of annuities), because here you are taking future value of annuities.

How to calculate sinking fund contribution?

For calculation of sinking fund contribution, we have to use the following formula : = ((1+rate)^n -1 )/(rate) here n = number of instalmentrate = rate / number of instalments in a year*100.

Jigyasa has to collect 1 ml. After 5 years to start a new factory. How should she save every month? Rate = 12%

= ((1+rate)^n -1 )/(rate) =((1+12/1200)^60 -1) / (12/1200)=.8167 / .01dividing factor =81.669monthly savings = 1000000/81.669=12244.44 per month answer

What is a sample ?

Instead of contacting every person, we may contact only a few persons, this is called sample. Suppose we go to check the quality of wheat to purchase. Instead of checking all the bags, we pick up one bag randomly and pick out a few grains, this is also a sample.

What are the methods of sampling ?

1. random sampling = purely by chance just like a lottery 2. judgement sampling here we are using some basis for judgement the basis of judgement is related to our purpose of research. 3. quota sampling taking some number of persons from each group 4. cluster sampling here we divide populationin clusters (based on their geography / demography / location / etc.) and then pick up a few clusters (groups) of people and study them all

contd...

Stratified ramdom sampling : here we divide population in different stratas (strata = population divided on some logical criteria) then we randomly take a few % of persons from each strata. Convenience sampling = taking sample on the basis of your convenience

What is confidence level ?

It is the confidence created / associated with an interval estimate If we are using a confidence level of 95%, it means that there are 95% chances that our estimate will be close to population parameter (mean).

What is the difference between population parameters and sample statistics ?

Population = actual population but it is not possible to collect all the information about population due to our own resource constraints we dont have time or resources to collect data about population. Therefore we go for sample. When we use sample, we are using sample statistics. We try to estimate population parameters from sample statistics.

What is population parameter?

If you go for census study (you contact each element in the population and take their data), you can calculate population parameter. There are different parameters which are of use like : mean, mode, median, standard deviation, etc. But we actually take sample so we estimate population parameters from sample statistics.

What is sample statistics?

Sample characteristics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation etc. Which are used to estimate population parameter

What is sampling error?

The difference in the value identified by sample and the population parameter is called sampling error. For example, population mean is 20 but sample mean is 18, so sampling error = 2

What is quantitative data and qualitative data ?

quantitative data = data which tell about what and how much qualitative data=data which only contain nominal scale just name / labels etc.

What are the various types of scales of data ?

1 nominal scale = only names are there like ram, shyam 2. ordinal scale - they give order or ranks 3.interval scale: they have identifiable gaps, but they dont have zero 4. ratio scale they can be used to calculate ratio they have a zero and ratio can also be calculated, they are the best in numerical analysis

What are the various methods to present data ?

Scatter chart / diagrams bar chart HistogramOgiveDot plot etc.

What is statistical inference ?

When we try to estimate or test hypothesis using sample data, it is called statistical inference (here we use sample data, not the population parameters).

What is a variable ?

It is a characteristic of some interest relating to some element. It can take different values. Variables are denoted by X,Y,Z etc. Examples of variables are : for people = their education, for car=their car, fuel efficiency etc.

What is cross sectional data ?

Data collected at the same point of time from different segments

What is cross tabulation?

There are two variables, their data are presented in one table one variable as X axis and other variable as Y axis for example : Age and Height or Marks and Attendance

Can we take up same element again in sampling ?

Yes, it is possible (by chance) there are two types of sampling : 1. sampling with replacement2. sampling without replacementin sampling with replacement, it is possible that by chance we may pick up same element again (we should avoid).

What is normal distribution ?

There are many types of probabilty distributions, normal distribution is used most widely. It assumes that the data are bell shaped and mean=mode=median. Normal distribution assumes that most of the data are near mean and extreme data are very few.

How do you calculate mode ?

Mode is that element, which has highest frequencyif there is continuous data,you may use the following formula : Mode = L1 + (D1 / (D1+D2) * class interval) L1 = lower limit of the modal classD1=higest frequency frequency in preceding classD2=higest frequency frequency in succeeding class

Example of mode :

2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11,13,13,14,14,14,15,17,21,22,34,43out of these mode is 14 (because its frequency is 3)

Example of mode ?

Class frequency 10 to 20 420 to 30 830 to 40 1240 to 50 4apply the formula : modal class = 30 to 40 = 30 + ((12-8) / ((12-8)+(12-4)) * class interval = 30 + 4/12 * 10 = 30+3.3 = 33.3 answer

What is median ?

Median = exact mid point in the data formula = n/2 or (n+1) / 2example : 1,3,5,7,9thre are 5 values, so n = 5(5+1)/2 = 3so 3rd value is median. Median = 5 answer

Formula for median ?

L1 + ((M-C) / F)* class intervalL1 = lower limitF = frequencyM=median = n/2C = cumulative frequency of the previous class

Example of median ?

Class frequency C.F 10 to 20 4 420 to 30 8 1230 to 40 12 2440 to 50 4 28L1 + ((M-C) / F)* class intervalM=28/2 = 14, so median class is 30 to 40 30 + (( 14-12)/12) * 10 =30+1.6 = 31.6 answer

What is cumulative frequency ?

When you add up frequencies, it is called cumulative frequenciesin the previous example , 10to 20 is 4, but 20 to 30 is shown as 16 (4 of 10 to 20 is added in it) cumulative frequency

What is relative frequency ?

Formula = frequency of a class / number of items

Find mean, mode and median on following data ?

Class freq. C.F x*f10 to 20 5 5 7520 to 30 12 17 30030 to 40 12 29 42040 to 50 5 34 225total 34 1020mean = 1020/34 =30,

solution...

Median = 20+(17-5)/12 * 10 = 30 mode cannot be calculated because there are two equal modal values, so we use the following formula Mode = 3median 2 meanmode = 30 answer k

Calculate rank correlation using the following data ?

X Y 2 114 8 6 38 1

Solution

Calculate their ranks X Y Rx Ry D^22 11 4 1 94 8 3 2 16 3 2 3 18 1 1 4 9 d=rx-ry so D^2 = (Rx-ry)^2 D^2 = 20

What is formula of quartile deviation ?

(q3 q1)/ 2

What is formula of coefficient of quartile deviation ?

(q3-q1) / (q3+q1)

What is formula of coefficient of mean deviation ?

Mean deviation / Median or mean deviation / mean

calculate combined standard deviation. Means A=8 B = 3, std. Deviation A = 2 B = 1
n1 of a = 20 n2 =30

Formula = sqrt ((n1s1 +n2s2 +n1d1+n2d2)/(n1+n2))d1 = mean of a combined meand2 = mean of b -combined mean combined mean = (160+90)/50 = 5d1=3 d2 =-2sqrt ((20*2 +30*1 +20*3+30*(-2))/(20+30))=1.18 answer

FORMULA OF RANK CORRELATION

= 1- (6D^2) / (N^3 -N) = 1 (6*20)/(64 -4)=1 - 120/60=1-2 =-1Thus two series have perfectly negative correlation

What is sample space?

A set of all experimental outcomes is called sample space

What is experiment ?

In research, we manipulate some data, we change some variables that is called experiment,

What is experimental group?

There are generally two types of groups one on which you undertake experiment (experimental group) and one on which you dont do any experiment, just do observation.(control group) Example if you have two plants, on one plant you pour fertilisers and on the other you dont put any fertilizer, then the former is experimental group and 2nd is control group.

What is standard deviation?

Deviation = difference here we find the difference of each value with mean and this will create standard deviation.Formula = square root of (sum of squares of difference of each element from mean)

Example : of standard deviation..

X dx^2 2 43 15 16 4average = 16/4 = 4, dx = x-average = 2-4 = -2average of dx^2 = variance = 10 / 4 = 2.5 standard deviation = square root of variance = sqrt(2.5) =1.58 answer

Steps in calculation of standard deviation ?

1. calculate average. For this total all the values of X and then divide it by n (in our example, we have divided 16/4, where 16 is total of all values and 4 is number of elements. 2. find dx (difference of x from mean) 3. square the dx to get dx^2 4 . find average of dx^2 this is called variance. 5. find square root of variance. This is called standard deviation.

What is covariance ?

If there are two data series let us say X andY, then we can find their relation, we need covariance. Co = together Variance = difference formula of covariance = total of dx*dy /number of elements

Example of covariance :

X Y dx dy dx*dy 2 6 -2 2 -43 5 -1 1 -15 3 1 -1 -16 2 2 -2 -4average of X=16/4 =4 , average of Y = 16/4=4 dx = difference of each element from X dy = difference of each element from Y total of dxdy=-10covariance = -10/4 = -2.5 answer

What is correlation and regression

Correlation just tells you that there is a relation between two variable. It doesnt tell you which is the dependent and which is independent variable. If you want to predict / forecast, you have to use regression. In regression, we have two variables one dependent and one independent. Regression tells you about relation of these two variables. Based on regression, you can predict / forecast.

How to calculate correlation?

There are many methods to calculate correlation, but the carl pearson's method is the most popular method. Formula of correlation = covariance / (product of standard deviation of X * standard deviation of Y) suppose covariance of X and Y is -4 and standard deviation of X is 2 and standard deviation of Y is also 2, then correlation = -4 / (2*2) = -1

What is the maximum and minimum value in correlation ?

Maximum correlation = 1 (perfectly positive relation)minimum correlation = -1(perfectly negative relation one falls other declines) no relation = 0

Example of correlation?

X Y dx dy dx*dy 2 6 -2 2 -43 5 -1 1 -15 3 1 -1 -16 2 2 -2 -4average of X=16/4 =4 , average of Y = 16/4=4 total of dxdy=-10 total of dx^2 = 10, standard deviation of x = sqrt(2.5) and standard deviation of Y = sqrt(2.5) covariance = -10/4 = -2.5 correlation = -2.5 / (sqrt (2.5) * sqrt (2.5)) = -1 answer

What is regression ?

The basic model of linear regression (one dependent and one independent variable) is as under : y = a+ bx+ea = interceptb=slopee=errorsince error is random and moves in either direction, so we generally write as y=a+bx

What is regression?

It is a simple tool to predict data. Regression assumes that there are at least two data sets, one is dependent on another. Example : if you say that demand is based on price, then we can have regression between price and demand. Price will be independent variable (called X), and demand will be dependent variable (called Y)

What is slope and intercept ?

Simplest form of regression is linear regression (a straight line between dependent and independent variable). Here we need two things : slope and intercept. Slope is denoted by B and intercept is denoted by A. Formula of regression is : Y = A +BX 1. A is the point (value) of Y when X = 02. B denotes the rate of change in Y in response to change in X.

How to calculate slope?

In the formula of y=a+bx, we use b to denote slope. It denotes change in y with reference to change in x. Slope can be calculated with the following formula == covariance / (variance of x)once we calculate b, we can easily calculate a by putting in the formula y=a+bxthus we can get both a and b, then we can calculate yhat or = a+bx (because a and b are known and with the help of x we can predict y)

Example of regression

X Y dx dy dx*dy 2 6 -2 2 -43 5 -1 1 -15 3 1 -1 -16 2 2 -2 -4average of X=16/4 =4 , average of Y = 16/4=4 variance of x = 2.5 covariance = -10/4 = -2.5b=covariance/variance of x, and covariance =-2.5, variance of x=2.5 b= -2.5 / 2.5 = -1 now put it in formula to get a y=a+bxtake y=4, x=4, b=-1 so 4 = a+(-1) 4 = or a = 8 thus a = 8, b = -1 so we can now predict y

What is coefficient of determination ?

the percent of the variation that can be explained by the regression equation. the explained variation divided by the total variation the square of r (r denotes correlation) it is also called r squared we calculate it by taking difference of estimated y and average of y

Example of coefficient of determination

Suppose estimated Y = 4actual Y = 3average of Y = 7now total variation is 3-7 = -4explained variation (determination) = 4-7 = -3unexplained variation (error) = 3 -4 =- 1here coefficient = -3/-4*100 =75%

What is coefficient of variation ?

= Standard deviation / mean * 100 suppose standard deviation = 2suppose mean = 4=2/4 *100 = 50% coefficient of variation = 50%

What is skewness ?

When the data are not normallydistributed, they are skewed. They are either towards left or towards right side. If the data are not skewed, it looks like a bell shaped data. But if it is skewed, it looks like a slope or like a see saa. Formula = (mean mode ) / standard deviation

What is bar chart ?

It is a chart which represents thick lines (bars) to denote frequencies of X variables (on X axis) length of the bar should be equal to frequencyit is similar to histogram (but there we use connected rectangles

What is ogive ?

It is a chart. It indicates data on cumulative basis. Here you first calculate cumulative frequency and then find its %. Data may be expressed using a single line. You can display the total at any given time. The relative slopes from point to point will indicate greater or lesser increases. Ogive can be from left to right or from right to left

Example of ogive
(here data are absolute in cumulative frequency not in %)

It denotes the width of classfor example : 10 to 20 here class interval is 20-10 =10 class interval is calculated by following formula : (highest least)/ number of classes desired

What is the difference between continuous and discrete data?

Continuous data can take any value like 10.00073 it is writtes like : 10 to 20 (so here any value between 10 to 20 can come) but discrete data can take only certain numerical values like 3,4,5,6 etc.

What is a variable ?

It can take different values. Generally variable is denoted by X,Y,Z, and constant is denoted by a,b,c variable can be of two types : 1. discrete it takes only integer values example: number of houses 2.continuous it can take any values example : height of a person

What is a function?

It shows relation between two variable one is dependent and one independentdependent variable is dependent on independent variable example : price = f(demand)here we want to show that price is dependent on demand, so price is a function of demand. Dependent variable = price, independent variable = demand

What are the various types of functions ?

1. linear function example : Y = A +bxhere there is a straight line on a graph paper and there is a direct linear relation between the two variables 2. polynomial function : there are multiple independent variables Y = a+bx1+cx2 .... 3. absolute value function - no impact of negative values

What are the measures of central tendency ?

Mean = arithematic average (sum / number) Mode = the Variable which has highest frequencyMedian = the exact mid point of data. For example : 2,3,8,11,11here Median = 8, mean = 7, Mode = 11

Formula of mean ?

Add all the values and divide by number in the previous example : add all the values of 2,3,8,11,11= 35there are 5 values so divide 35 by 5 = 7 mean is denoted by Xbar

What is relation between mean, mode and median?

mode=3median-2 meanin our example it should be : = 3*8 2 * 7 =10. but we have found 11.actually you will see, that the mode here should be 10 as we discuss in later exercises

Can mean, mode and median be equal?

Yes - in normal distribution, mean, mode and median are all equal. In normal distribution, we have 3 characteristics : 1. data are symmetrical2. data are more in central values and less as we move apart3. mean=mode=median most of statistical formula require normal distribution.

How to calculate median in bigger data :

Formula :( N+1 )/ 2n=number of datafor example : 1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7 here we have 8 values , so (8+1)/2 = 4.5so we should take mid value between 4 and 5, which is 4.5 answer

What types of data series are there ?

There are many types of data series : individual data discrete seriescontinuous series in continuous data series, there is no value which is not possible. (for example : 0 to 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 30) ....

What are the measures of dispersion?

Dispersion = how the data is looking in comparison to mean. If data is wide apart from mean, there is high dispersion. If the data is just close to mean, there is very less dispersion. If data has more dispersion, there is less uniformity in the data. We have many tools to measure dispersion like range, variance etc.

Example of high and less dispersion of data :

Low dispersion : 6,6,7,7,7,7,8,8,9,high dispersion : 1,4, 8, 19,20,50,60,80,100you can see, the first data set has far more consistency and dispersion is less. Tools to measure dispersion are : range, standard deviation, variance, mean deviation etc. Range = highest least value.In the first case range = 9-6 = 3, in 2nd case range = 100-1 = 99

What is standard deviation?

Here we find the difference between each value and mean. Then we square the difference and find the average. This is called variance. Square root of variance is called standard deviation. This gives us an estimate of dispersion of data.

Example of standard deviation?

X has 5 values : 1,2,3,4,5its total is 10. average = 15/5 = 3now we take difference of each value : (1-3) = -2, (2-3)=-1, (3-3) = 0...so we get : -2,-1,0,1,2,now square them = 4,1,0,1,4 total =10now find the mean=10/5 = 2 (this is variance) square root of 2 = 1.4 is the standard deviation.

Example of intercept and slope ?

If X change by 10% but Y changes by 20%, so slope = 20/10 = 2if it is written that X,Y points are : (0,2), (2,4),(4,6),(6,8) ... here you can see that there is a linear relation between X and Y. (first digit is X and second digit is Y). Intercept is 2, because when X is 0, Y is 2.

Find slope in the following example?

X Y 2 114 8 6 38 1

Solution

Slope (b ) = covariance / variance of X so first we shall calculate covariance

Solution

X Y dx dy dxdy dx^22 11 3 -5.25 -15.75 94 8 1 -2.25 - 2.25 16 3 -1 2.75 -2.25 1 8 1 -3 4.75 -14.25 9covariance = (-34.5 / 4) = 8.62variance of x = 20 / 4 = 5slope (b) = 8.62/5 = 1.72 answer

What are the various types of statistical analysis?

1. descriptive statistics : here you collect data and present it (for example data on market share) 2. inductive statistics : here you undertake statistical inferences and estimate for future 3. statistical decision theory : here you have to take decision about a situation based on statistics

What are the basic tools for statistical analysis ?

1. be clear about problem2. formulate hypothesis 3. set significance level (how much accuracy do you want)4. set sampling frame, research design & collect data5. analyse data and draw inferences

What is hypothesis ?

What do you want to test. We frame 2 hypothesis at least. One of them is null hypothesis and one is alternate thesis. Based on literature review & our own experiences, we frame some understanding on the subject. We have to frame null hypothesis which is opposite of this idea. Then we have to frame alternate hypothesis. We test out null hypothesis.

What is type I and type II error ?

If we reject a null hypothesis, which is actually true, we are having type I errorif we accept a null hypothesis which is actually false we are having type II error.We have to set standards for both these errors. If you become liberal for type I error, then type II error will increase and vice versa.

What is alpha ?

Type I error is called alpha

How do we test alpha ?

We calculate P value. If P value is less than alpha, we reject null hypothesisif P value is more than alpha then we cant reject null hypothesis

What is p value ?

It is actual calculation about what is the possibilitity of error. It is calculated to be compared with alpha. Alpha is determined in advance, but P value is actual observation.

How does statistics & econometrics help you in business decisions?

You can test your decisions using data. You can also build models. There are various types of model : 1. physical, 2. geographic 3. schematic 4. analog 5. mathematical / statistical / econometrics based statistics and econometrics can help you in building the last types of models (5th type)

What types of statistical analysis are possible ?

1. univariate (there is a single set of data) 2. bivariate (there are two sets of data) 3. multivariate (there are many sets of data)

What are univariate tools?

Mean, mode, median, time series analysis, moving average analysis etc.

What are bivariate tools ?

Correlation, regression, etc.

What are multivariate tools ?

There are many like : conjoint analysis, multivariate regression etc. Here we have many variables : example : demand is dependent on

What is hypothesis ?

What you think or what you want to check out or what you want to study is called hypothesis. We prepare two types of hypothesis : 1 null hypothesis (just opposite of what we think or what we are testing out)2. alternate hypothesis (what we want to check out). We study and check null hypothesis only.

What is systematic sampling ?

If you pick up first unit by random sampling thereafter you pick up each value systematically it is called systematic sampling. Suppose you pick up first unit randomly, this is 12, no you take up every 4th element, it is systematic sampling, you take up 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 ... so on thus this type of sampling saves time and creates the virtues of random sampling also.

What are continuous and discrete distributions ?

Continuous distributions are : 1. normal 2. exponential Discrete distributions are : 1. pascal2.poisson 3. binomial

What is theoretical distribution ?

If you pick up a sample it will not give you exactly the same value as population. If you pick up a large number of samples out of population, and plot the values of these samples, you will get what we call as theoretical distribution. If the sample size is large, the theoretical distribution will approximate the real population.

What is normal distribution ?

It is also called the Gaussian distribution. It is defined by two parameters mean ("average" m) and standard deviation (). A theoretical frequency distribution for a set of variable data, usually represented by a bell-shaped curve symmetrical about the mean.MEAN=MEDIAN=MODE & data symmetrical bell shaped
