5. State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statements:

Question 1.
Partition values have application only in theory but not in practice.
OR
Partition values are not useful in economics.
Answer:
No, I do not agree with the statement.

• Partition values like quartiles are useful to economists to know the final information related to income, sales, stock data, etc.
• Also, deciles and percentiles help economists to measure in the detail the poverty line, inequality of income, household, wealth, etc.
• Hence, partition values are useful in Economics.

Question 2.
Average can misinterpret the representative value.
Answer:
Yes, I agree with the statement.

• Average is not based on all observations because it is a positional average and their values are affected by sampling fluctuations.
• Averages give more importance to larger values and less to smaller values.
• Thus, such data can misinterpret the representative value.

Question 3.
Median is also known as the second quartile.
Answer:
Yes, I agree with the statement.

• Median is the middlemost value in the arranged data.
• It is the value that divides the series into two equal parts, so that the number of items above it, is equal to the number of items below it.
• It is not affected by extreme values.
• Median = n/2 and Q₂ = 2 (n/4) i.e n/2.
• Therefore, the Median is equal to the second quartile.
