c Every year, a man trades his car for a new car. If he has a Maruti, he trades it for an
Ambassador. If he has an Ambassador, he trades it for Santro. However, if he had a
Santro, he is just as likely to trade it for a new Santro as to trade it for a Maruti or an
Ambassador. In 2000 he bought his first car which was a Santro. Find the probability

c A salesman’s territory consists of 3 cities A, B and C. He never sells in the same

city on successive days. If he sells in city A, then the next day he sells in city B. 7 L3 CO3

in city A as in other city. In long run, how often does he sell in each of the cities.

that the coin is un biased at 5% level of significance.
c In a city A 20 % of a random sample of 900 school boys had a certain slight
physical defect. In another city B, 18.5% of a random sample of 1600 school boys 7 L3 CO4
