Quantitative Analysis for Business
OA (Qns & Ans)
2025
General Instructions
1. Read All Questions Carefully: Make sure you understand each question.
2. Time Management: You have a specific amount of time to complete the exam.
Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
3. Allowed Materials: Only use materials that are explicitly allowed. Unauthorized
materials can lead to disqualification.
4. ANS Format: Follow the required format for your ANS. For example, multiple-
choice questions might need you to select the best ANS, while essay questions
require detailed responses.
5. Academic Integrity: Adhere to the university's honor code. Any form of cheating or
plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
6. Technical Requirements: Ensure your computer and internet connection are
stable. For online exams, you might need a webcam and microphone for proctoring
purposes.
7. Submission: Submit your ANS before the time expires. Late submissions might
not be accepted.

,1. In a regression analysis, which of the following measures the
goodness-of-fit of the model?
A) T-statistic
B) R-squared
C) P-value
D) Chi-square
ANS: B) R-squared
Rationale: R-squared provides the proportion of the variance
for the dependent variable that's explained by the independent
variable(s) in the model.
2. When conducting a time series analysis, which method is
most appropriate for forecasting linear trends?
A) Moving Average
B) Exponential Smoothing
C) Linear Regression
D) Holt-Winters Method
©2024/2025
, ANS: C) Linear Regression
Rationale: Linear regression is used to model relationships
between variables and can be used to make forecasts based on
identified linear trends.
3. Which statistical test would be most suitable to compare the
variance of two independent samples?
A) T-test
B) ANOVA
C) F-test
D) Chi-square test
ANS: C) F-test
Rationale: The F-test is used to compare variances and
determine if there are significant differences between the
variances of two samples.
4. The Nash Equilibrium in game theory is achieved when:
A) Each player maximizes their minimum gain.

, B) Each player has chosen a strategy such that no player can
benefit by changing strategies while the other players keep theirs
unchanged.
C) Players receive equal payoffs.
D) The game reaches a Pareto efficient outcome.
ANS: B) Each player has chosen a strategy such that no
player can benefit by changing strategies while the other players
keep theirs unchanged.
Rationale: Nash Equilibrium occurs when players settle on a
strategy profile where no unilateral strategy change can benefit
any player.
5. In portfolio management, a portfolio that offers the highest
expected return for a defined level of risk is known as:
A) A dominant portfolio
B) An efficient portfolio
C) A weighted portfolio
D) An indexed portfolio
ANS: B) An efficient portfolio
