THE SUMMER OF THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE HORSE

VALUE POINTS-
i. Aram and Mourad are members of the Garoghlanian tribe
ii. The tribe is known for its honesty and integrity
iii. Mourad invites Aram to ride on a white horse one summer morning
iv. Aram is excited but incredulous. Where did Mourad get the horse?
v. Justifying the theft as borrowing, both the boys enjoy the early
morning ride.
vi. Aram cannot handle the horse at all, while Mourad is excellent with it
(as he is with every other living creature)
vii. We meet Uncle Khusrove, a man with a big moustache, loud voice
and short temper – he has lost his homeland and no other thing can
be more important than that.
viii. An Assyrian neighbour – John Byro – visits Aram’s home and
complains that his white horse has been missing for a month
ix. Thrilled with his new knowledge, Aram dashes off to Mourad and
begs him to keep the horse till he (Aram) has learnt to ride the horse
x. Their plan come to naught – two after joyful early morning rides, the
two meet John Byro
xi. Even though caught red-handed, Byro’s kindness gives the boys an
opportunity to return the horse to its rightful owner and retain their
dignity.

In this gentle story from the collection My Name Is Aram (1940), William
Saroyan calls into question the nature and the value of conventional morality
and even of reality itself. Faced with a situation in which the first impulse of
most people would be to punish the thieves, the people of this slow-moving,
rural Armenian community do more than recognize that boys will be boys.
John Byro knows who has taken his horse, and he hints not to the boys but to
the boy’s relatives that he knows, but he does not force the issue by
demanding his horse back.

Even when Byro catches the boys red-handed, he does not condemn them.
When he mentions that he believes with his heart, not with his eyes, he is
telling the boys that he knows that they are basically good boys who do not
intend him or the horse injury. Ironically, all turns out for the best. The daily
morning exercise has improved the health of the animal, and he is better than
ever, so the boys have done John Byro a favor with their mischief. No harm to
it, as Uncle Khosrove would say.

The importance of spirit in Saroyan’s writings is shown in the characters of

Uncle Khosrove and Mourad. No one is upset because both are crazy, for
craziness has its strong points. Mourad really does have a way with animals,
perhaps because of his unusual approach to the world, and Uncle Khosrove
really is able to calm every conflict, even those involving himself, so who is to
say who is crazy or even what is crazy?

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING IN 30 TO 40 WORDS (AFTER READING THE

CHAPTER)
a. Aram could not believe his eyes when he looked out of the window.
Explain.
b. How did the boys justify the act of stealing the horse?
c. What reason does Aram’s mother give for Uncle Khusrove’s short
temper?
d. What was John Byro’s complaint?

CHAPTER-2
COLLECTION OF DATA

Collection of data is the first step of Statistical Enquiry.

Terms:
1) Statistical Enquiry/ Survey/Investigation: It is a process of systematically
collecting and analyzing data regarding a particular problem using
statistical tools.
2) Investigator- He is the one who conducts the survey.
3) Enumerator- He is the one who collects the data by conducting an
enquiry or an investigation.
4) Respondent- He is the one from whom statistical information is collected.
5) Variable- It is a quantity which can take different values in different
situations. It is generally represented by the letters X, Y or Z. ( Each value
of a variable is an observation. )
6) Data: A set of numbers systematically arranged for conveying specific
information on a subject for better understanding or decision making.

SOURCES OF DATA
PRIMARY DATA SECONDARY DATA

1) It is original and first hand 1) It involves collection of

information second hand information i.e. it
has already been collected
and processed by some other
agency or individuals.
 2) It is costlier in terms of time, 2) It is less expensive and
money and efforts.
3) Methods of collecting
primary data are: Direct
personal interview, Mailed
questionnaire, Telephone
Interviews.
4) Eg: In order to get some
statistical information about
payment of wages to the
workers of a factory, an
investigator may visit workers
colony and get this information
by contacting every worker.
consumes less time.
3) Sources of collecting data
are published and unpublished
data.
Eg: The same information may
be obtained by visiting the
factory accounts department
and record the information
from the salary register.

SECONDARY DATA: Sources of secondary data are : Published and

unpublished.

(A) SOURCES OF PUBLISHED DATA:

1) Government Publications: Various Ministries and departments of Central

and State Governments regularly publish statistics on a variety of subjects
like population, national income, trade, imports, exports etc. (It also
includes reports of Committees and Commissions.)

2) Publications of International Organisations: Like WHO, ILO, World Bank,

IMF provide useful statistics covering various countries.

3) Private Publications:
a) Journals and Newspapers like Economic Times and Economic and
Political Weekly.
b ) Research Institutes like ISI ( Indian Statistical Institute), NCERT (
National Council of Educational Research and Training) publish the results
of research on various economic fields.
c) Websites
d) Books written by Economists.
(B) SOURCES OF UNPUBLISHED DATA
Research institutions, trade associations, University Scholars etc, do collect
data regularly but they may not publish it.

LIMITATIONS OF USING SECONDARY DATA ( Not in NCERT)

1) It may be influenced by the investigator’s personal bias.
2) It may not have been collected through a proper procedure.
3) It may be out of date and not suitable for the present purpose.
TERMS
1) Universe/ Population: An aggregate of all the items which possesses
certain characteristics which is to be studied for a statistical investigation.
2) Item: It refers to the unit of a population.
3) Sample: It refers to a group or section of the population from which
information is to be obtained. (A good sample is smaller than the
population and is capable of providing reasonably accurate information
about the population at much lower cost and shorter time.)

Answer the following questions.

1. Out of `census method’ and `sampling method’, which one is suitable

in the following cases:
a. When population is heterogeneous in nature.
b. It is comparatively easy to organize and supervise.
c. Under this, results are less reliable and accurate.
d. Extensive enquiry is conducted as each and every unit of
population is studied.
e. Only error may arise in collection of data is error of bias
f. It requires relatively less money , time and labour.
g. When population is homogeneous in nature.

KINEMATICS
*Rest and Motion are relative terms, nobody can exist in a state of absolute rest or of
absolute motion. *One dimensional motion:- The motion of an object is said to be one
dimensional motion if only one out of three coordinates specifying the position of the
object change with time. In such a motion an object move along a straight line path.
*Two dimensional motion:- The motion of an object is said to be two dimensional
motion if two out of three coordinates specifying the position of the object change with
time. In such motion the object moves in a plane.
*Three dimensional motion:- The motion is said to be three dimensional motion if all the
three coordinates specifying the position of an object change with respect to time ,in
such a motion an object moves in space.
*The magnitude of displacement is less than or equal to the actual distance travelled by
the object in the given time interval. Displacement ≤ Actual distance
*Speed:- It is rate of change of distance covered by the body with respect to time.
Speed = Distance travelled /time taken Speed is a scalar quantity .Its unit is meter /sec.
and dimensional formula is
[M0 L 1 T -1 ] .It is positive or zero but never negative.
*Uniform Speed:- If an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time than the
speed of the moving object is called uniform speed. In this type of motion, position –
time graph is always a straight line.
*Instantaneous speed:-The speed of an object at any particular instant of time is called
instantaneous speed. In this measurement, the time ∆t→0. When a body is moving with
uniform speed its instantaneous speed = Average speed = uniform speed.
*Velocity:- The rate of change of position of an object in a particular direction with
respect to time is called velocity. It is equal to the displacement covered by an object
per unit time. Velocity =Displacement /Time Velocity is a vector quantity, its SI unit is
meter per sec. Its dimensional formula is [M0 L 1 T -1 ] . It may be negative, positive or
zero.
*When a body moves in a straight line then the average speed and average velocity are
equal. *Acceleration:- The rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time is
called its acceleration. Acceleration = Change in velocity /time taken It is a vector
quantity, Its SI unit is meter/ sec.2 and dimension is [M 0 L 1 T -2 ], It may be positive
,negative or zero.
*Positive Acceleration:- If the velocity of an object increases with time, its acceleration is
positive . *Negative Acceleration :-If the velocity of an object decreases with time, its
acceleration is negative . The negative acceleration is also called retardation or
deacceleration.
*Formulas of uniformly accelerated motion along straight line:-
For accelerated motion, For deceleration motion
V = u + at v = u – at
 S = ut + 1 /2 at2 S = ut - 1 /2 at2
2 2
V =u + 2as V 2 = u2 - 2as
Sn = u + a /2(2n- 1) Sn = u - a /2( 2n- 1)
*Free fall :- In the absence of the air resistance all bodies fall with the same
acceleration towards earth from a small height. This is called free fall. The acceleration
with which a body falls is called gravitational acceleration (g).Its value is 9.8 m/sec2 .
 Answer the following questions:
1. Give an example of a body possessing zero velocity and still accelerating.
2. Can a body have constant speed but a varying velocity?
3. Identify the types of motions in following cases:
.
x x D x
E F

c t t t
o
4. Suggest a suitable physical situation for the following graph
 .
5. The V-t graphs of two objects make angle 30° and 60° with the time axis. Find the
ratio of their accelerations.
