Answer ONE Question from each Unit
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only
UNIT I
1. A random variable X has the following probability distribution shown in Table 1
Table 1
x 0 1 2 3
k 0.1 k 0.2 2k 0.4 2k
Find the values of (ii)Mean (iii)variance.
If X is normally distributed with mean 2 and variance 0. 1 then find 0.01)
2. A continuous random variable X has the probability density function k(1 x2) when
otherwise Find(i) k Mean (iii)Variance

not germinate .He sells the seeds in packets of 200 and guarantees 90% germination .Determine
the probability that a particular packet will violate the guarantee.
UNIT II
3. Briefly explain sample space, random variable and density function with examples.
A random sample of 10 bags of pesticide are taken whose weights are 50,49,52,44,45,48,46,45,49,45(in
kgs).Test whether the average packing can be taken to be 50kgs.
4. Using random experiments how to establish that a coin is un-biased.
A sample of 900 has a mean of 3.4cms and S.D. 2.61cms.Is this sample has been taken from
large population of mean 3.25cm and S.D. 2.61cms.If the population is normal and its mean is
unknown. Find 95% confidence interval for population.
