Question:
In sampling, a part is collected to represent the total set of observation. Use any single word from the following to replace "Total set of observation".
In sampling, a part is collected to represent the total set of observation. Use any single word from the following to replace "Total set of observation".
Show Hint
In statistics, “population” is the complete set of items that data can be collected from; a “sample” represents a part of this total.

- A double-ended ranging drum (DERD) shearer uni-directionally cuts coal in a longwall panel having the following details:
Shearer drum diameter = 1.4 m
Panel dimension = 1200 m × 200 m × 2.4 m
Web depth = 0.6 m
Average cutting speed = 5 m/minute
Average retreating speed = 10 m/minute
Average operational delay between cuts is 2 hour. There are two production shifts, each of 8 hour duration. The number of days required for complete extraction of the panel is:- GATE MN - 2025

- A longwall panel is to be developed in a flat seam at a depth of \( H \) m. The surface subsidence profile (\( s \)) of the area with the horizontal distance \( x \) is estimated as \[ s = \frac{S_{{max}}}{2} \left[ 1.002 - \tanh \left( \frac{4.8x}{H} \right) \right], \] where \( S_{{max}} \) is the maximum subsidence at the centre of the panel, \( x \) is measured from the inflection point. The value of \( x \) is negative towards the panel centre and positive towards the panel boundary. The ratio between the critical width of the panel and the depth is:
