In a certain sporting goods manufacturing company, a quality control expert tests a randomly selected group of 1,000 tennis balls in order to determine how many contain defects. IF this quality control expert discovered that 13 of the randomly selected tennis balls were defective, which of the following inferences would be most supported?

Poverty measurement is an unsettled issue, both conceptually and methodologically. Since poverty is a process as an outcome many come out of it while others may be falling into it. The net effect of these two parallel processes is a proportion commonly identified as the head count ratio, but these ratios hide the fundamental dynamsin that chareacterises poverty in paractice. The most recent poverty reestimates by an expert group has alos missed the crucial dynamism. In a study conducted on 13,000 households which represented the entire country isn 1993- 94 and again on 2004-05, it was found that in the ten-years period 18.2% rural popluation moved out of poverty where another 22.1% fell into it over this period. This net increase of about four perecntange points was seen to have a considerable variation across states and regions. which of the following is an inference which can be made form the facts stated in the above paragraph ?

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. Screaming is exhibited by many animals, but no species uses this extreme vocalization in as many different contexts as humans. Though we're pretty good at recognizing a scream when we hear one, the wide variety of screams makes it difficult to pin down what defines them. To study screams is to probe the fuzzy boundary that separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. It is a way to explore our pre-linguistic past. Although we are fully symbolic creatures today, on occasion a trace of our primal selves bubbles to the surface in the form of a scream. Understanding its characteristics could improve the treatment of nonverbal patients, help fight crime, or simply make movies more frightening. But first scientists need to explain what makes a scream a scream. To that end, researchers at Emory University’s Bioacoustics Laboratory recruited 181 volunteers to listen to short recordings of 75 nonverbal human vocalizations, such as screams, laughter, and crying. For each of the 75 sounds, the volunteers were asked to indicate whether they thought it was a scream. The researchers then analyzed 28 acoustic signatures of the sounds, such as pitch, frequency, and timbre, to determine which parameters influence the perception of a sound as a scream. Most people would say that the defining characteristic of a scream is that it is a focused loud and highpitched, but previous scream research suggests otherwise. In 2015, David Poeppel, a neuroscientist at New York University and the Max Planck Institute, led a study to determine the acoustic qualities that differentiate fearful screams from other nonverbal vocalizations. To do this, Poeppel and his colleagues compiled a corpus of screams lifted from YouTube videos and ones recorded in their lab, then asked volunteers to rank them according to how alarming the sound was. Poeppel also imaged the brains of his volunteers as they listened to screams to see how these sounds affected neural activity. Which of the following statement is false according to the given passage.

How Saco Defense Controlled the Situation ? At Saco Defense, lack of quality had created a crisis. When the government shut it down because it wasn't meeting quality standards, Saco brought back a TQM programme that had restored quality, increased production, and decreased costs. Based in Saco, Maine, the 178-year-old defense company was unable to adhere to the U.S. Navy's quality standards. Although Saco's weapons worked well, the government questioned the company's quality practices and policies. For example, if an employee discovered a defective bolt near the completion of an assembly process, the operator would replace the bolt but not document the problem. The presence of one defective bolt might mean that others from the same supplier or batch were also bad but were going undetected. Without follow-up, the underlying materials problem would not be identified and resolved. To solve these problems Saco Defense went through an organisational transformation. The key elements were : (1) empowering employees by giving them the responsibility and accountability for their performance, including the authority to halt production to correct problems: (2) forming work cells, that is, small businesses within the company that manage their production with limited supervision, and (3) reducing the workforce from 760 to about 450 employees and eliminating several layers of management. In addition, ongoing improvement projects at the company range from reducing cycle time and product cot to implementing programmes for skill integration. Productivity has increased, turnover is down, and the company pans to expand its international business. Source Stoner, A.F. James, R.Edward Freeman and Daniel R. Culbert, Jr., Management, Prentice-Hall of India Pvt. Ltd., 1998 (Ref: Joyce E. Santora, 'A Quality Program Transforms Saco Defense', Personal Journal, May 1993) Which step of controlling is reflected in para 2 of the above case ? Explain
