Cat-I QP

This document provides a summary of a continuous assessment test for an applied probability, statistics, and reliability course. It includes 6 questions in Part A and 2 questions in Part B. Question 1 asks to find the value of K and the expected value of a random variable X with a given probability distribution. Question 3 asks to find the moment generating function of a triangular distribution. Question 5 asks for the probability of talking on the phone for more than 8 minutes, given an exponential distribution with a mean of 1/6 minutes.
