INTRODUCTION
Definition
An index number is an economic data figure reflecting price orquantity compared with a standard or base value. The base usuallyequals 100 and the index number is usually expressed as 100 timesthe ratio to the base value. For example, if a commodity costs twice asmuch in 1970 as it did in 1960, its index number would be 200 relativeto 1960. Index numbers are used especially to compare businessactivity, the cost of living, and employment. They enable economists toreduce unwieldy business data into easily understood terms.
In economics, index numbers generally are time seriessummarising movements in a group of related variables. In somecases, however, index numbers may compare geographic areas at apoint in time. An example is a country's purchasing power parity. Thebest-known index number is the consumer price index, whichmeasures changes in retail prices paid by consumers. In addition, acost-of-living index (COLI) is a price index number that measuresrelative cost of living over time. In contrast to a COLI based on the truebut unknown utility function, a superlative index number is an indexnumber that can be calculated. Thus, superlative index numbers are

used to provide a fairly close approximation to the underlying cost-of-living index number in a wide range of circumstances.
There is a substantial body of economic analysis concerning theconstruction of index numbers, desirable properties of index numbers
and the relationship between index numbers and economic theory.
History
No clear consensus has emerged on who created the first priceindex. The earliest reported research in this area came from WelshmanRice Vaughan who examined price level change in his 1675 book ADiscourse of Coin and Coinage. Vaughan wanted to separate theinflationary impact of the influx of precious metals brought by Spainfrom the New World from the effect due to currency debasement.
Vaughan compared labor statutes from his own time to similar statutesdating back to Edward III. These statutes set wages for certain tasksand provided a good record of the change in wage levels. Vaughanreasoned that the market for basic labor did not fluctuate much withtime and that a basic laborers salary would probably buy the sameamount of goods in different time periods, so that a laborer's salaryacted as a basket of goods. Vaughan's analysis indicated that pricelevels in England had risen six to eightfold over the preceding century.
While Vaughan can be considered a forerunner of price indexresearch, his analysis did not actually involve calculating an index. In1707 Englishman William Fleetwood created perhaps the first trueprice index. An Oxford student asked Fleetwood to help show howprices had changed. The student stood to lose his fellowship since afifteenth century stipulation barred students with annual incomes overfive pounds from receiving a fellowship. Fleetwood, who already hadan interest in price change, had collected a large amount of price data

going back hundreds of years. Fleetwood proposed an index consistingof averaged price relatives and used his methods to show that thevalue of five pounds had changed greatly over the course of 260 years.He argued on behalf of the Oxford students and published his findingsanonymously in a volume entitled Chronicon Preciosum.
PART 1The prices of goods sold in shops vary from one shop to another.Shoppers tend to buy goods which are not only reasonably priced butalso give value for their money.You are required to carry out a survey on four different items based onthe following categories i.e. food, detergent and stationery. The surveyshould be done in three different shops.

Question:
d) Based on the graphical representations that you haveconstucted in PART 1(c), interpret, discuss and drawconclusion. Comments on your findings.
Answer:
Based on the graph we could see the small and largedifference among the items. We could see from food price the lowestprice is SUGAR because sugar is now known as controlled goods sothere is no such difference among them and the highest price is EGGSGRADE A. All of us know the difference among eggs and another itemis because the controlled standard to this eggs which caused the priceso high than another food items. Moreover, when we look to detergentthe lower price is DAIA that have quantity about 1 kg and the higherprice is BREZEE LIQUID COLOUR this is because the differencedetergent bring the difference price. On the other hand, the lowestprice among stationery items is highlighter FABER CASTLE and thehighest price among them is STAEDLER water colour, I think it is
because the standard and quality that given by STAEDLER to users. Allof this can be concludes with the grand total.

Question:(c)(i) Find out from reliable sources how to determine suitablecapacity of air conditioner to be installed based on thevolume/size of a room.
Answer:
For common usage, air conditioner is rated according to horse power(1HP), which is approximately 700W to 1000W of electrical power. It is
suitable for a room size 1000ft which is around 27m of volume.
Question:(c)(ii) Work in groups to estimate the volume of your schoollibrary. Explain how you arrive at your answer. Hence,determine the number of air conditioners with the appropriatecapacity required for your library.
Answer:
By using a measuring tape, the dimension for thelibrary is:Height: 4.2mWidth = 11.2 mLength= 21.25 mVolume of the room= 4.2 X 11.2 X 21.25
= 999.6 m
1 unit of air conditioner is for 27 m
For 999.6m =
= 37.02
That means our school library needs 37 unit of airconditioner.

Index numbers are being used in many different daily situations, forexample air pollution index, stock market index, gold index andproperty index. Obtain information from the internet or other reliablesources on the importance of two different types of index number ofyour choice. Elaborate the use and the importance of these indexnumbers in daily life.
Air Pollution Index
Air pollution is the introduction ofchemicals, particulate
matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to
humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural
environment into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex
dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on
planet Earth. Stratosphericozone depletion due to air pollution has
long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the
Earth's ecosystems.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) (also known as the Air Pollution
Index (API) or Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) is a number used by
government agencies to characterize the quality of the air at a given
location. As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of the
population is likely to experience increasingly severe adverse health
effects. To compute the AQI requires an air pollutant concentration
from a monitor or model. The function used to convert from air
pollutant concentration to AQI varies by pollutant, and is different in
different countries. Air quality index values are divided into ranges,and each range is assigned a descriptor and a color code. Standardized
public health advisories are associated with each AQI range. An agency
might also encourage members of the public to take public
transportation or work from home when AQI levels are high.

Limitations of the AQI
Most air contaminants do not have an associated AQI. Many countries
monitor ground-level ozone, particulates, sulphur dioxide, carbon
monoxide and nitrogen dioxide and calculate air quality indices for
these pollutants.
Causes of Poor Air Quality
The AQI can worsen (go up) due to lack of dilution of air emissions by
fresh air. Stagnant air, often caused by an anticyclone or temperature
inversion, or other lack ofwinds lets air pollution remain in a local area.
Indices by Location
South Korea
The Ministry of Environment of South Korea uses the
Comprehensive Air-quality Index (CAI) to describe the ambient air
quality based on health risk of air pollution. The index aims to help the
public easily understand air quality level and protect the health of
people from air pollution. - The CAI has values of 0 through 500, which
are divided into six categories. The higher the CAI value, the greater
the level of air pollution. - Of values of the five air pollutants, thehighest is the CAI value.

Malaysia
The air quality in Malaysia is reported as the API or Air Pollution
Index. Four of the index's pollutant components (i.e., carbon monoxide,
ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide) are reported
in PM10 particulate matter is reported in g/m.
Unlike the American AQI, the index number can exceed 500.
Above 500, a state of emergency is declared in the reporting area.
Usually, this means that non-essential government services are
suspended, and all ports in the affected area closed. There may also be
a prohibition on private sector commercial and industrial activities in
the reporting area excluding the food sector. A comparison of three
major U.S. stock indices: the NASDAQ Composite, Dow Jones Industrial
Average, and S&P 500. All three have the same height at March 2007.
Notice the large dot-com spike on the NASDAQ, a result of the large
number of tech. companies on that index.

A stock market index is a method of measuring a section of
the stock market. Many indices are cited by news or financial services
firms and are used as benchmarks, to measure the performance
ofportfolios such as mutual funds.
Types of Indices
Stock market indices may be classed in many ways. A 'world' or
'global' stock market index includes (typically large) companies
without regard for where they are domiciled or traded. Two examplesare MSCI World and S&P Global 100.
A national index represents the performance of the stock market
of a given nationand by proxy, reflects investor sentiment on the
state of its economy. The most regularly quoted market indices are
national indices composed of the stocks of large companies listed on a
nation's largest stock exchanges, such as the American S&P 500, the
Japanese Nikkei 225, and the British FTSE 100.
The concept may be extended well beyond an exchange. The
Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index, as its name implies, represents
the stocks of nearly every publicly traded company in the United
States, including all U.S. stocks traded on the New York Stock
Exchange (but not ADRs) and most traded on
the NASDAQ and American Stock Exchange. Russell Investment
Group added to the family of indices by launching the Russell Global
Index.
More specialized indices exist tracking the performance of
specific sectors of the market. The Morgan Stanley Biotech Index, for
example, consists of 36 American firms in the biotechnology industry.

Index Versions
Some indices, such as the S&P 500, have multiple
versions. These versions can differ based on how the index
components are weighted and on how dividends are accounted for. For
example, there are three versions of the S&P 500 index: price return,
which only considers the price of the components, total return, whichaccounts for dividend reinvestment, and net total return, which
accounts for dividend reinvestment after the deduction of a
withholding tax. As another example, the Wilshire 4500 and Wilshire
5000 indices have five versions each: full capitalization total return, full
capitalization price, float-adjusted total return, float-adjusted price, and
equal weight. The difference between the full capitalization, float-
adjusted, and equal weight versions is in how index components are
weighted.

market index is important because a countrys economical statesometimes depend on it.
ConclusionAfter doing research, answering
questions, drawing graphs and someproblem solving, I saw that the usageof statistics is important in daily life. Itis not just widely used in markets but
also in interpreting the condition ofthe surrounding like the air or thewater. Especially in conducting an air-pollution survey. In conclusion,statistics is a daily life necessary.Without it, surveys cant be
conducted, the stock market cant beinterpret and many more. So, weshould be thankful of the people whocontribute in the idea of statistics.
