HISTORY OF INDEX NUMBER

Index numbers are meant to study the change in the effects of such factors which cannot be

measured directly. According to Bowley, Index numbers are used to measure the changes in some

quantity which we cannot observe directly. For example, changes in business activity in a country

are not capable of direct measurement but it is possible to study relative changes in business activity

by studying the variations in the values of some such factors which affect business activity, and

which are capable of direct measurement.

Index numbers are commonly used statistical device for measuring the combined

fluctuations in a group related variables. If we wish to compare the price level of consumer items

today with that prevalent ten years ago, we are not interested in comparing the prices of only one

item, but in comparing some sort of average price levels. We may wish to compare the present

agricultural production or industrial production with that at the time of independence. Here again,

we have to consider all items of production and each item may have undergone a different fractional

increase (or even a decrease). How do we obtain a composite measure? This composite measure is

provided by index numbers which may be defined as a device for combining the variations that have

come in group of related variables over a period of time, with a view to obtain a figure that

represents the net result of the change in the constitute variables.

Index numbers may be classified in terms of the variables that they are intended to measure. In

business, different groups of variables in the measurement of which index number techniques are

commonly used are (i) price, (ii) quantity, (iii) value and (iv) business activity. Thus, we have

index of wholesale prices, index of consumer prices, index of industrial output, index of value of

exports and index of business activity, etc. Here we shall be mainly interested in index numbers

of prices showing changes with respect to time, although methods described can be applied to

other cases. In general, the present level of prices is compared with the level of prices in the past.

Thepresent period is called the current period and some period in the past is called the base

period.

Index Numbers:

Index numbers are statistical measures designed to show changes in a variable or group

of related variables with respect to time, geographic location or other characteristics such as

income, profession, etc. A collection of index numbers for different years, locations, etc., is

sometimes called an index series.

Simple Index Number:

A simple index number is a number that measures a relative change in a single variable

with respect to a base.

Composite Index Number:

A composite index number is a number that measures an average relative changes in a

group of relative variables with respect to a base.

Part 1(a)

The price of goods sold in shop vary from one shop to another. Shoppers tend to buy goods

which are not only reasonably price but also give value for their money.

You are required to carry out a survey on four different items based on the following categories

i.e. food,detergent and stationery. The survey should be done in three differnt shop.

(a)Collect picture,newspaper cuttings or photos on item that you have chosen. Design acollage to illustrate the chosen item.

Part 1 (d):

Based on the graphical representations that you have constructed in part 1(c), interpret, discuss

and draw consclusion. Comment on your findings.

Based on the graphical representations that I have constructed in Part 1(c), it is shown that thereare large and small differences among the prices of items in each category between the shops.In

the food category, the smallest price difference are of those of sugar, while the highest is the

price of eggs. Besides food, detergent also shows a large price difference between its items.

Among them is the price of liquid dishwasher and clothes detergent. On the other hand,stationery

items doesnt have any obvious price difference. The graph also show that most of the items that

are high priced comes from the Boulevard Supermarket, while the lowest price items come from

the Discount Store.The graph 1(d) will show the conclusion of the difference among the shops

based upon the shops grand total.

FURTHEREXPLONATION

Index numbers are being used in many different daily situations, for example air pollution index,

stock market index, gold index and property index.

Obtain information from the internet or other reliable sources on the importance of two different

types of index number of your choice. Elaborate the use and the importance of these index

numbers in daily life.

Air Pollution Index

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that

cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the naturalenvironment into the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on

planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone 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) orPollutant

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.


20/26

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 of winds lets air

pollution remain in a local area.

Indices by location

South Korea

The Ministry of Environment of South Korea uses the Comprehensice 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, the highest is the

CAI value.


21/26

CAI Description Health Implications

0-50 GoodA level that will not impact patients suffering from diseases related to

air pollution.

51-

100Moderate

A level which may have a meager impact on patients in case of

chronic exposure.

101-150 Unhealthy forsensitive groups A level that may have harmful impacts on patients and members ofsensitive groups.

151-

250Unhealthy

A level that may have harmful impacts on patients and members ofsensitive groups (children, aged or weak people), and also cause the

general public unpleasant feelings.

251-

350Very unhealthy

A level which may have a serious impact on patients and members of

sensitive groups in case of acute exposure.

351-500

HazardousA level which may need to take emergency measures for patients andmembers of sensitive groups and have harmful impacts on the general

public.


22/26

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.


23/26

Stock Market Index

A comparison of three major U.S. stock indices: theNASDAQ Composite, Dow Jones Industrial

Average, andS&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 of portfolios 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

examples are 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


24/26

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 specialised 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. Other indices may track companies of a certain size, a certain type of

management, or even more specialized criteria one index published by Linux Weekly

News tracks stocks of companies that sell products and services based on the Linux operating

environment.

Index versions

Some indices, such as the S&P 500, have multiple versions.[1] 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, which accounts 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.

Uses and importance of air pollution index and stock market index

As everyone can see,the air pollution index is use by the government to measure the air

quality index and to detect any pollutants in our countrys air.This is to ensure the air is clean

and safe for us to inhale.Besides that,an early warning can be given to us if the air pollution is to

high for us to get out of our homes. This warning is given based upon readings and

interpretations of the air pollution index.

As for the stock market index, it is mainly for the business entrepreneurs. This type of index is

used to determine the outcome of a stock market and also the conclusion of a stock market. The

stock market index is important because a countrys economical state sometimes depend on it.


25/26

CONCLUSION

After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs and some problem solving, I

saw that the usage of index number is important in daily life. It is not just widely used inmarkets but also in interpreting the condition of the surrounding like the air or the water.

Especially in conducting an air-pollution survey. In conclusion, statistics is a daily life

essecities. Without it, surveys cant be conducted, the stock market cant be interpret and

many more. So ,we should be thankful of the people who contribute in the idea of statistics.
