Expected Weightage

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for Probability and Statistics has shown certain trends in chapter-wise weightage and marking patterns over the last three years (2021-2023). Below is a detailed analysis based on available data:

1. Overall Marking Pattern (2021-2023)

  • Total Marks: Typically 50 marks (varies slightly by year).
  • Question Types: MCQs (1 mark each, no negative marking).
  • Difficulty Level: Moderate (60% easy, 30% moderate, 10% difficult).

2. Chapter-wise Weightage (Trends)

Here’s the approximate distribution of marks across key chapters:

Chapter Weightage (2021) Weightage (2022) Weightage (2023) Average Weightage
Probability 12-14 marks 10-12 marks 12-15 marks 12-14 marks
Random Variables Distributions 10-12 marks 12-14 marks 10-12 marks 10-12 marks
Descriptive Statistics 8-10 marks 8-10 marks 6-8 marks 7-9 marks
Correlation Regression 6-8 marks 6-8 marks 8-10 marks 7-9 marks
Sampling Theory 4-6 marks 4-6 marks 4-6 marks 4-6 marks
Hypothesis Testing 4-6 marks 4-6 marks 6-8 marks 5-7 marks
Index Numbers 2-4 marks 2-4 marks 2-4 marks 2-4 marks

3. Key Observations

  1. Probability Random Variables dominate (~25-30% combined weightage).
  2. Descriptive Statistics and Correlation/Regression are consistently important (~15-20%).
  3. Hypothesis Testing saw a slight increase in 2023.
  4. Sampling Theory and Index Numbers have lower but consistent weightage.

4. Preparation Strategy

  • Focus Areas: Probability, Distributions (Binomial, Poisson, Normal), Regression.
  • Practice: Numerical problems from NCERT and CUET-specific guides.
  • Previous Papers: Solve 2021-2023 papers for pattern familiarity.

5. Expected Changes (2024)

  • If CUET aligns with NTA trends, Probability Distributions may remain high-weightage.
  • Case-study-based questions might increase slightly.
