aged between 25 to 35 years arrived at a particular city hospital during the las one
year. Calculate (i) mean, (ii) S.D. (iii) C.V.
Q.5 The Probability that a man aged 60 will live up to 70 is 0.65. What is the probability
that out of 10 such men now at 60 at least 7 will live up to 70?
Q.6 It has been claimed that 60% of all solar heat installations the utility bill is reduced by
at least one-third. Accordingly, what are the probabilities that the utility bill will be
reduced by at least one third in (i) four of five installations (ii) at least four of five
installations?
Q.7 If 2% of lightbulbs are defective, find the probability that (i) at least one is defective,
(ii) exactly 7 are defective. Also, find P(1<X<8) in a sample of 100.
Q.8 A manufacturer of cotter pins knowns that 5% of his products are defective. If he sells
cotter pins in boxes of 100 and guarantees that not more than 10 pins will be
defective, what is the approximate probability that a box will fail to meet the
guaranteed quality?

produces is normal with 100 ohms and 2 ohms. What percentage of
resistors will have resistances between 98 ohms and 102 ohms?
Q.11 A random sample of 900 members has a mean 3.4 cms. Can it be reasonably regarded as a
sample from a large population of mean 3.25 cms and standard deviation 2.61cms? Use 5%
level of significance.
Q.12 A stenographer claims that she can type at the rate of 120 words per minute. Can we reject
her claim on the basis of 100 trails in which she demonstrates a mean of 116 words with a
standard deviation of 15 words? Use 5% level of significance.
Q.13 A random sample of size 20 from a normal population has mean 42 and standard deviation of
5. Test the hypothesis that the population mean is 45. Use 5% level of significance.
Q.14 The average breaking strength of steel rods is specified to be 18.5 thousand kg. For this a
sample of 14 rods was tested. The mean and standard deviation obtained were 17.85 and
1.955 respectively. Test the significance of the deviation. Use 5% level of significance.
