Q:1 (A) The number of telephone calls made by the male and female sections of the P.E.
Department were noted for fifty days and the results are shown in the table opposite. The
number of calls by men are given first in each pair of numbers. Investigate the distributions
of the numbers of calls made by the total.
Number of telephone calls ( male, female ): Here, (0,2) indicate that 0 male and 2 females
(B) Draw a random sample of size 18 from an exponential distribution with probability
−𝑥
1
function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 𝜆 ; 0 < 𝑥 < ∞; 𝜆 > 0 parameter 𝜆= 0.3, find sample mean and sample
𝜆
variance of the distribution.
(C) From the following time series, determine trend and short term variation by using four
yearly moving averages.

Q:2 (A) A set of 6 similar coins is tossed 640 times with the following results:
No. of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
heads
Frequency 7 64 140 210 132 75 12
Fit an appropriate distribution to the given data on the assumption that the coins are
symmetrical and tests the goodness of fit.
(B) From the following data, find Fisher’s and Marshall’s index numbers and verify them
for time reversal and factor reversal tests.
(C) (i) Draw a random sample of size 15 from a normal distribution with pdf

[𝑥−6]2
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 25
5 √𝜋
Also find sample mean and variance.
(ii) From the following information of a city, calculate GFR, SFR, TFR and CBR (Crude
birth rate).
No. of 32 30 28 26 24 22 18
females(in’000)
Man-hours 3.6 4.8 7.2 6.9 10.7 6.1 7.9 9.5 5.4
(ii) Draw a random sample of size 10, If X~B(10,0.4) with probability mass function
𝑟
𝑃(𝑥) = ( ) 𝑝 𝑥 𝑞 𝑟−𝑥 ; 𝑟 = 0,1 − − − −10; 𝑝 + 𝑞 = 1; 0 < 𝑝 < 1 ,Also find sample
