Assignment Prob2

This document contains 5 probability questions: 1) finding the probability that none of 9 randomly selected lamps out of 1000 with a 10% defect rate are defective, and the probability that exactly 5 are defective; 2) given a binomial distribution with mean 5/3 and equal probabilities of X=1 and X=2, calculating variance, P(X≥1), and P(X≤1); 3) if a cricket player gets out within 10 runs in 3 out of 10 innings, finding the probability he gets out twice in 4 innings and the probability he gets out at least once in 4 innings; 4) if A wins games against B in a ratio of 3:2, finding the probability A wins at least 3 out

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT 2/SS

1. A batch of 1000 lamps is known to have 10% defectives. If 9 lamps


are chosen at random and are tested, what is the probability that none of
them will be defective? What is the probability that exactly 5 defectives
will be found?

2. A random variable X follows binomial distribution with mean 5/3 and


P(X=2) = P(X=1). Find variance, P(X≥1) and P(X≤1).

3. It is seen that a cricket player becomes out within 10 runs in 3 out of


10 innings. If he plays 4 innings, what is the probability that he will
becomes (i) out twice, (ii) out at least once within 10 runs.

4. A and B play a game in which their chances of winning are in the ratio
3:2. Find A’s chances of winning at least three games out of five games
played.

5. Assuming that 20% of the population of a city are literate, so that the
chance of an individual being literate is 1/5 and assuming that 100
investigators each take 10 individuals to see whether they are literate,
how many investigators would you expect to report 3 or less were
literate?
