OBJECTIVES
We students taking Additional Mathematics are required to carry out a project work whilewe are in Form 5.
This year the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education hasprepared four tasks for us. We are
to choose and complete only ONE task based on our area of interest. This project can be done in groups or
individually, but each of us are expected tosubmit an individually written report. Upon completion of the
Additional Mathematics ProjectWork, we are to gain valuable experiences and able to:
Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies to solve routine and non-routine problems;
Experience classroom environments which are challenging, interesting and meaningfuland hence
improve their thinking skills.
Experience classroom environments where knowledge and skills are applied inmeaningful ways
in solving real-life problems
Experience classroom environments where expressing ones mathematicalthinking,reasoning and
communication are highly encouraged and expected
Experience classroom environments that stimulates and enhances effective learning.
Acquire effective mathematical communication through oral and writing,and to usethe language of
mathematics to express mathematical ideas correctly and precisely
Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through problem-solving inways that
increase interest and confidence
Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future undertakings and in workplace
Realise that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real-lifeproblems
and hence develop positive attitude towards mathematics.
Train ourselves not only to be independent learners but also to collaborate, tocooperate, and to share
knowledge in an engaging and healthy environment
Use technology especially the ICT appropriately and effectively
Train ourselves to appreciate the intrinsic values of mathematics and to become morecreative and
innovative
Realize the importance and the beauty of mathematics

FOREWARD
First of all, I would like to say Alhamdulillah, for giving me the strength and health to do thisproject work. Not
forgotten my parents for providing everything, such as money, to buy anythingthat are related to this project
work and their advice, which is the most needed for this [Link], books, computers, and etc. They also
supported me and encouraged me to completethis task so that I will not procrastinate in doing it. Then I would
like to thank my teacher, En. NorAzizi Bin Fain for guiding me and my friends throughout this project. We
had some difficulties indoing this task, but she taught us patiently until we knew what to do. She tried and tried
to teachus until we understand what we supposed to do with the project work. Last but not least, myfriends
who were doing this project with me and sharing our ideas. They were helpful that whenwe combined and
discussed together, we had this task done.

INTRODUCTION
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 u
sed 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 businessactivity by
studying the variations in the values of some such factors which affect business activity,and
which are capable of direct [Link] numbers are commonly used statistical device for measuring
the combinedfluctuations in a group related variables. If we wish to compare the price level of consumer
itemstoday with that prevalent ten years ago, we are not interested in comparing the prices of only oneitem, but
in comparing some sort of average price levels. We may wish to compare the presentagricultural 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 differentfractional increase (or even a decrease). How do we
obtain a composite measure? This compositemeasure is provided by index numbers which may be defined as
a device for combining thevariations 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 tomeasure. In business,
different groups of variables in the measurement of which index numbertechniques are commonly used
are (i) price, (ii) quantity, (iii) value and (iv) business [Link], 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 interestedin index numbers of prices showing changes with respect to
time, although methods describedcan be applied to other cases. In general, the present level of prices is
compared with the levelof prices in the past. The present period is called the current period and some period in
the pastis called the base period.
Index Numbers
:Index numbers are statistical measures designed to show changes in a variable or groupof related variables
with respect to time, geographic location or other characteristics such asincome, profession, etc. A collection of
index numbers for different years, locations, etc., issometimes called an index series.


Simple Index Number
:A simple index number is a number that measures a relative change in a single variablewith
respect to a base.
Composite Index Number
:A composite index number is a number that measures an average relative changes in agroup of relative
variables with respect to a base.

items based on the followingcategories: food, detergent and stationery. The survey should be done in three
different shop.
