Dura! C) 1:3 Hours instructions : 1) Answer five questions and at least one from each Module. 2) Figures to the right indicate full marks. 3) Make suitable assumptions wherever required. 4) Use statistical tables wherever required. MODULE —1 1 @ Two cards are selected at random from 10 cards numbered 1 to 10. Find the probability that the sum is odd if the two cards are drawn one after the other without replacement. by/A random X/has the aes function, | -3 ol =0 , otherwise Further more it Ofor X<3 pre for3 4, Then determine the probability distribution of the random variable Y. 6 I a) Let X be a random variable which is Geometrically distributed with probability “ mass function P(X = 1) = pq! 1, r= 1, 2, ....4 «os where O m+n|X>m)=P(X>n) where mneN. 8 >) The probability that a certain test yields a positive results is 0.4. What is the probability of getting fewer than five negative results before the first positive one? z f 6 Cali. BT.ETC 5~-1(RC) 2 Na HE «c)-Let be a random variable with probability density function given by, f(x)=e™, x>0 =0 ,x<0 compute the moment generating function of X. 6 MODULE -2 i. ay Lét X and Y be independent Binomial random variables with identical parameters (N ; p). Find the probability distribution of the random variables (K+Y). Let the joint probability density function of the random variables X and Y be given by, f(y) =0(6-x-y) , 00 =0 ,xs0, and f(y) =3e"%, y>0 °) =0 ,y<0, respectively. Find ihe probability density function of the random variable (X=). 83 ETC 5-1 (RC) MODULE -3 f V. a)_A sample poll of 300 voters from district A and 200 voters from district B showed that 56% and 48% respectively were in favour of a given candidate. Ata significance level of 0.05, test the hypothesis that there is a difference between the districts. 6) Inthe part, a machine produced washers having a thickness of 0.050 inches. To determine whether the machine is in proper working order, a sample of 10 washers is chosen for which the average thickness is found to be 0.053 inches and the standard is 0.003 inches. Test the hypothesis that the machine is in proper working orders using a significance level of 0.05. ©) The standard deviation of the breaking strengths of certain cables produced “2 vy a company is given as 240 Ib. After a change was introduced in the process of manufacture of these cables, the breaking strengths of a sample of eight cables showed a standard deviation of 300 Ib. Is the apparent increase + in variance significant at the 0.05 level of significance ? Vi. 4) The table given below shows the distribution of the digits 0, 1, 2, ....,9ina random-number table of a total of 250 digits.
