            Question 30.
            \nBriefly explain how statistics helps to study economics.
            \nAnswer:
            \nStatistics plays a very important role in the field of economics. It helps in study of economics in many ways:
            \n1. It helps to understand economic problems: By using various statistical tools, effort is being made to find the causes behind the economic problems with the help of qualitative and the quantitative facts. Once the causes of a problem are identified. it is easier to formulate certain policies to tackle them.<\/p>\n

            2. It enables an economist to present economic facts in a precise and definite form: Statistics help the economists to present economic facts with accuracy. It also helps in proper comprehension of that is stated in the subject matter. When economic facts are expressed in statistical terms. they become exact. Exact facts are more convincing than vague statements. For instance, saying 350 people have died in Kashmir unrest since 2000, is more accurate than saying that a lot of people have died in the unrest.<\/p>\n

            3. Helps in condensing mass data into a few numerical measures: Statistics condenses the mass data into a few numerical measures like mean, variance, correlation, etc. These numerical measures help to summarise data. For example, it would be impossible to remember the income of all the people of a country. But we can remember average income i.e., per capita income.<\/p>\n

            4. It is used to find relationships between different economic factors: An economist may be interested in finding out what happens to the demand for a commodity when its price changes or what will be impact on inflation, when the government has more budget deficits. Such situations can be dealt, if any relationship exists between the various economic factors. Here, the nature of relationship can be studied with the help of statistical tools.<\/p>\n

            5. It helps in formulation of plans and policies: Sometimes, formulating plans and policies require the knowledge of future trends. For instance, an economic planner has to decide in 2010 how much the economy should produce in 2016-17. In other words, one must know what could be the expected level of consumption in 2016-17. So, the statistical tools to predict consumption in 2016-17 could be based on the data of consumption of past years obtained by surveys.<\/p>\n

            Question 31.
            \nDo sample survey provide better results than census? Give reasons for your answer.
            \nAnswer:
            \nYes, samples survey provide better results than census.
            \nA sample refers to a group or section of the population from which information is to be obtained. A good sample is generally smaller than the population and is capable of providing reasonably accurate information about the population at a much lower cost and shorter time.<\/p>\n

            Suppose you want to study the average income of people in a particular state, according to the census method, we need to find out the income of every individual in the region, add them up and divide by number of individuals to get the average income of people in the state. This method would require huge expenditure, as a large number of investigators are to be employed. Alternatively, if a representative sample of few individuals is selected from the state to find their income, it saves time, money and energy in the process of determination of income.<\/p>\n

            To sum up, sampling is considered a better method due to following reasons:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. It is more economical than the other techniques of collection of data.<\/li>\n
            2. Sample investigation can be done at a greater speed as it consumes less time.<\/li>\n
            3. When sampling is conducted scientifically and carefully, it gives accuracy.<\/li>\n
            4. Planning, organization and supervision can be conveniently managed which leads to administrative convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \nAnswer:
              \nThe following are the difficulties encountered during the construction of consumer price index:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Index numbers are not based on all items: As index numbers are generally based on a couple of sample, it is not possible to take into account each and every item in the construction of index.<\/li>\n
              • Index numbers are not free from error: In every stage of the construction of index numbers, starting from selection of commodities to the choice of formulae there is a chance an error being introduced.<\/li>\n
              • It is also said that, index numbers are also special type of averages, since the various averages like mean, median and mode and have their relative limitations which may lead to some errors.<\/li>\n
              • Index numbers are meant for a particular purpose: An index number is used to measure the change for a particular purpose only.<\/li>\n
              • Prices used in the construction of cost of living index are retail prices, which vary from shop to shop, place to place and consumer to consumer. Therefore, index numbers prepared on such prices cannot be used for different places or different classes of people.<\/li>\n
              • Index numbers include so many commodities of unstable quality, which can not be used at different points of time.<\/li>\n
              • The ratio of expenditure on different products at different points of time and by various persons are not same and they create difficulties in the construction of cost of living index numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Question 35.
                \nThe traditional handicraft industries were ruined under British Rule. Justify this statement.
                \nAnswer:
                \nYes, the traditional handicrafts industries were ruined under the British rule. The decline of the indigenous handicraft industries created not only massive unemployment in India but also a new demand in the Indian consumer market, which was now deprived of the supply of locally made goods.<\/p>\n

                The British imposed heavy duties on Indian handicrafts, so that they became more expensive than British woolen and silk manufacturers. They followed a policy of duty free export of raw materials and import of finished goods. Apart from these, Indian handicrafts had to face competition from machine made goods from Britain.<\/p>\n

                India could not develop a sound industrial base under the colonial rule. Even as the country\u2019s world famous handicraft industries declined, no corresponding modern industrial base was allowed to come up to take pride of place so long enjoyed by the Indians.<\/p>\n

                The intention of British was to reduce India to the status of a mere exporter of important raw materials for the upcoming modem industries in Britain and to turn India into a market for their finished products of those industries, so that their continued expansion could be ensured to the maximum advantage of their home country.<\/p>\n

                    \nAnswer:
                    \nOgive is also called cumulative frequency curve. As there are two types of cumulative frequencies, for example \u2018less than\u2019 type and \u2018more than\u2019 type, accordingly there are two ogives for any grouped frequency distribution data. Here in place of simple frequencies as in the case of frequency polygon, cumulative frequencies are plotted along Y axis against class limits of the frequency distribution.<\/p>\n

                    For \u2018less than\u2019 ogives the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective upper limits of the class intervals whereas for more than ogives the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective lower limits of the class interval.<\/p>\n

                    An interesting characteristic of the two ogives together is that their intersection point gives the median of the frequency distribution. The following graph represents the ogives. As the shapes of the two ogives suggest, \u2018less than\u2019 ogive is never decreasing and \u2018more than\u2019 ogive is never increasing.

                    Question 44.
                    \nDiscuss the following as a source of human capital formation.
                    \n(a) Health infrastructure
                    \n(b) Expenditure on migration.
                    \nAnswer:
                    \n(a) Health infrastructure:
                    \nThe various forms of health expenditures are as follows:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Preventive medicine vaccinations to prevent deadly diseases.<\/li>\n
                    • Curative medicine obtaining medical treatment during illness.<\/li>\n
                    • Social medicine spread of awareness about keeping good health and its importance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Provision of clean drinking water and good sanitation. The healthy individuals are a food source of human capital as they directly contribute for regular and higher productivity of labour. A sick labourer without access to medical facilities has to remain absent from work. This leads to loss of productivity. Hence, expenditure on health is an important source of human capital formation.<\/p>\n

                      (b) Expenditure on migration: People migrate from their native places in search of jobs which may bring higher salaries. Unemployment is the only reason for rural-urban migration in India. Technically qualified persons like engineers and doctors migrate to other countries to earn better income. Though there is a high cost of transport, high cost of living and other factors, the enhanced income will motivate people to migrate. Hence, expenditure on migration is also a source of human capital formation.<\/p>\n

                      Question 45.
                      \nWhat are the main causes of unemployment in India?
                      \nAnswer:
                      \nThe main causes for unemployment in India are as follows:<\/p>\n

                      1. Population explosion: Rapid population growth is the leading factor responsible for unemployment in India. This has adversely affected the unemployment situation in two ways. Firstly, the growth of population has directly encouraged unemployment by making a large addition to the existing labour force. Secondly, the rate of job expansion could never be as high as the population growth would have required.<\/p>\n

                      2. Season agricultural and backwardness of agricultural: In rural economy, agriculture is the main source of employment. However, most of the rural people are engaged directly and indirectly in agricultural operations. But, agriculture in India is basically a seasonal occupation. It provides employment only for certain months i.e., only during rainy days. During the rest of the period in a year, people would become unemployed.<\/p>\n

                      3. Illiteracy and ignorance: Many people are illiterates and unskilled. They are not trained in accordance with the employment being generated. There is miss-match between the education industry and employment industry.<\/p>\n

                      4. Slow growth: The growth of Indian economy is not at the expected level. The growth of GDP is still less than 7%. That means income which is being contributed to the national income generated through creation of employment opportunities is insufficient.<\/p>\n

                      5. Lack of initiatives from government: In India, the government is inactive in creation of jobs. Rather, the government is indulging in disinvestment and closing Public Sector Industries due to industrial sickness. This is aggravating the problem of unemployment.<\/p>\n

                      6. Low investment: There is a decline in the rate of investment due to lack of supportive atmosphere both in private and public sectors. This has slowed down the creation of new employment opportunities in India.<\/p>\n

                      7. Orthodox nature of population: In India, majority of people are traditional and very orthodox and believe in blind beliefs. Many will be sticking on to some age old occupation even many though it has lost scope in the modem word. This has made them voluntarily unemployed.<\/p>\n

                      Question 46.
                      \nWrite the short note on animal husbandry.
                      \nAnswer:
                      \nThe animal husbandry i.e.. livestock rearing includes cattle breeding, goats, fowl rearing, etc. Livestock production provides stable income, food security, fuel and nutrition for the family, in rural areas. In India, more than 70 million small and marginal farmers have got alternate livelihood options from animal husbandry.<\/p>\n

                      If the distribution of livestock rearing is taken into consideration, the poultry accounts for the largest share. The other animals which include camels, asses, horses, etc., are also found remunerative. In India, we have about 28.7 crores of cattle including 9 crores of buffaloes.<\/p>\n

                      The performance of Indian diary sector has been remarkable in the past few decades. This is mainly because of implementation of’Operation Flood. It is a system whereby all the farmers can pool their milk produced according to different gradings and the same is processed and marketed to urban centres. In this, the farmers are assured of fair price and minimum income from the supply of milk to urban areas.<\/p>\n

                      The animal husbandry is undertaken to develop organic farming by developing green manure and the animal waste is being used to produce gobar gas in rural areas. Meat, eggs, wool and other byproducts are also emerging as important productive sectors in animal husbandry.<\/p>\n
