UNIT-III
5 a) The probability density function of a random L3 CO3 7M
variate X is
X: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
P(X): k 3k 5k 7k 9k 11k 13k
(i) Find the value k,
(ii) Find P ( X  4 ), P ( X  5 ), P (3  X  6 ).
b) In a certain factory turning out razor blades, L4 CO5 7M
there is a small chance of 0.002 for any blade
to be defective. The blades are supplied in
packets of 10, use Poisson distribution to
calculate the approximate number of packets
containing no defective, one defective blades
respectively in a consignment of 10,000
packets.

6 a) Let X is a continuous random variable with L3 CO3 7M
probability density function given by
f ( x )  kx (0  x  2 )
 2k (2  x  4)

  kx  6 k ( 4  x  6 ).
Find k and mean, variance of X.
b) In a normal distribution 31% of the item are L4 CO5 7M
under 45 and 8% are over 64. Find mean and
standard deviation of the distribution.

UNIT-IV
7 a) A sample of 900 members is found to have a L3 CO3 7M
mean of 3.4cm. Can it be reasonably regarded
as a truly random sample from a large
population with mean 3.25cm and S.D.
1.61cm?
b) A sample of height of 6400 soldiers has a L4 CO5 7M
mean of 67.85 inches and standard deviation of
2.56 inches while a simple sample of heights
of 1600 sailors has a mean of 68.55 inches and
a standard deviation of 2.52 inches. Do the
data indicate that the sailors are on the average
taller than soldiers?
OR
8 a) A sample of 400 items is taken from a L3 CO3 7M
population whose standard deviation is 10.The
mean of sample is 40.Test whether the sample
has come from a population with mean 38 also
calculate 95% confidence interval for the
population.
b) Random sample of 400 men and 600 women L4 CO5 7M
were asked whether they would like to have
Page 3 of 4
 flyover near their residence 200 men and 325
women were in flyover of proposal. Test the
hypothesis that the proportion of men and
women in flyover of proposal are same at 5%
level.

UNIT-V
9 a) A machinist is making engine parts with axle L3 CO3 7M
diameter of 0.7inch. A random sample of 10
parts shows mean diameter 0.742 inch with a
standard deviation 0.04 inch. On the basis of
this sample, would you say that the work is
inferior?
b) The heights of 10 males of a given locality are L4 CO5 7M
found to be 70, 67, 62, 68, 61, 68, 70, 64, 64,
66 inches. Is it reasonable to believe that the
average height is greater than 64 inches? Test
at 5% significance level.
OR
10 a) Two horses A and B were tested according to L3 CO3 7M
the time(in seconds) to run a particular race
with the following results:
HorseA: 28 30 32 33 33 29 34
HorseB: 29 30 30 24 27 29 -----
Test whether you can discriminate between
two horses at the means 0.05 level?
b) Two samples of sizes 9 and 8 give the sum of L4 CO5 7M
squares of deviations from their respective
means equal to 160 inches2 and 91 inches2
respectively. Can these be regarded as drawn
from the same normal population?
