1.(a)Describe a CUSUM control chart..Compare ,this chart' with Shewhart chart with respect to performance. ,How is a V-mask useful in CUSUM charts?.
1.(b)Let ...} be a Markov chain on the state with' initial probability values qc and one step transition probability. matrix given by.. <img src='./qimages/299-1-b-1.jpg'> Compute <img src='./qimages/299-1-b-2.jpg'>
Discuss the estimation of parameter of exponential distribution in case of time censoring. 10
To a single serVer queuing system, the arrivals of customers are according to a Poisson process at the rate of 2 customers per hour. The service time has exponential distribution with mean service time of 12 minutes per customer. The steady state probability distribution (pJ. for the number of
customers is given below:
n 0 1 2 3 5 6 and above
Pn 0·0& 0·1 OA 0·2 0·2 0·02 0

Describe a two-person zero-sum game and explain mini-max, max-mini and net values of a game.10
Explain the concept of sequential sampling plan for attributes and obtain the' average sampling number function of a sequential sampling plan for testing the hypothesis
Ho: beta =beta0 against the alternative hypothesis.
HI beta beta1 in sampling from a population with density function beta). 15
State and prove the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a saddle point in a twoperson zero-sum game.. Find the value of the game <img src='./qimages/299-2-b.jpg'>
Define' and explain the following terms: Reliability function Reliability of a series system 'Reliability of a parallel system The mean life of a component is 100 hours. If you want to build a parallel system having a mean life of 200 hours, how many components would be required considering a constant hazard model? 15
For an queuing system, derive the set of steady-state difference equations and hence find the solution of the system. In a supermarket, the average. arrival rate of customers is 5 every 30 minutes. The average time it takes to list and calculate the customers purchases at the cash desk is 4·5 minutes and this time is exponentially distributed.
How long will the customers expect to wait for service at the cash desk
What is the probability that the cashier is working?
Describe the principles on which a control chart is based. What is the concept behind the u,se
3-a limits in statistical quality control?

4.(c)Suppose that the purchaser and the ender agree. that a defective rate of 10% in a 19t is satisfactory. For the sampling plan n c determine the probability that a lot with this per cent (i.e. defective, will be accepted. Also determine the said probability if the sampling plan happens to be N 100, n C 1. Which of these two,sampling pains seems better and why? 20
