General Instructions: -
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious
problems which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and
teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation,
m
m .co
you must read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2
.co
“Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality
s e m
em a
of the examinations conducted, evaluation done and several other aspects. Its
s
leakage to public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination
a g l
l
system and affect the life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this
a
ag
policy/document to anyone, publishing in any magazine and printing in
Newspaper/Website, etc. may invite action under various rules of the Board
and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should
not be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while
evaluating, answers which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or
are innovative, they may be assessed for their correctness otherwise and due
marks be awarded to them. In Class-X, while evaluating two competency-based
m
questions, please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not from
.co
marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due
m
marks should be awarded.
4
s e
The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
la
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer.
g
a
The students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due
marks should be awarded accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each
evaluator on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the
instructions given in the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should
be zero after deliberation and discussion. The remaining answer books meant for
evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in
the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark ( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X’
be marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an
m
m .co
impression that answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common
c. o7 mistake which evaluators are committing.
s e m
e m a
If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part.
l
las ag
Marks awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and
written in the left-hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
ag 8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin
and encircled. This may also be followed strictly.
9 If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more
marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra
Question”.
10 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized
only once.
11 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in
Question Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the
m .
.co
answer deserves it.

12 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8
hours every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25
answer books per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is
in view of the reduced syllabus and number of questions in question paper.
13 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past :-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totaling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title
page.
● Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
● Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick
mark is correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with
the X for incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks
awarded.
14 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it
should be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
15 Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in
the evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all
concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and
judiciously.
16 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the
“Guidelines for Spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
17 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried
over to the title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.
18 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on
payment of the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head
Examiners/Head Examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that
evaluation is carried out strictly as per value points for each answer as given in the
Marking Scheme.

12. “The data can be discrete or continuous.” Give one difference between 2
discrete and continuous data. Also give one example of each.
Ans. Discrete Data is the data that takes only specified values. For example, if Unit-2
you give a test, you can either pass or fail. So, data is discrete in this case Page.18
as it has only two specified outcomes.
Continuous Data is the data that can take any value within a given range.
This range can be either finite or infinite. For example, depth of an ocean,
weight of a person or length of a road.

13. Define selection bias. When does it occur ? 2
Ans. Selection bias is a type of bias that usually occurs when a model itself Unit-3
influences the creation of data that is used to train it. Page.28
It occurs when the sample data that is gathered is not representative of the
true future population of cases that the model will see.

18. What do you mean by distribution in data science ? How is it different from 4
probability ? Explain with the help of the event – Tossing the coin.
Ans. Distribution in data science is a method which shows the probable values Unit-2
for a variable and how often they occur. Page.16-
17
It is different from probability as probability gives us the mathematical
calculations while distribution helps us to actually visualize what is
happening underneath. The distribution does not just consists of input
values that can be seen but made up of all possible values.
For example :
Event : Tossing the Coin
Consider a coin that has two sides. When you toss the coin, the probability
of getting a head or tail is 50% for each or half and half. Any other
probability is zero. In the event - Tossing a coin, the probable values are
Head and Tail. The probability for this even is given below :
Outcome Probability
Head 0.5
Tail 0.5
All Else 0
The probability of getting a head is 0.5, a tail is 0.5 and any other
probability is 0. The sum of probabilities should be equal to 1.
(1 mark for correct definition of distribution
1 mark for correct difference between distribution and probability
2 marks for difference between the two with reference to the given event)
19. (i) Why is Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is considered important in 4
statistics ?
(ii) With reference to CLT, if the sample size of data increases, will the
error increase or decrease ?
(iii) Mention any two real world applications of CLT.
Ans. (i) It helps in making reliable predictions and a good estimate of the Unit-3
population mean using small sample sizes Page.30-
(ii) Decrease 33
(iii) Applications :
• Opinion polls before elections to estimate public preference.
• Estimating average household income in a city without surveying
everyone.
