    Q1.

    Distinguish between a “parameter” and a “statistic”

    Q2. A bag contains 7 red and 5 white balls. 4 ball are drawn at random. What is the probability that
    (i) all of them are red (ii) 2 of them are red and 2 white ?

    Q3. 2 sets of candidates are competing for the position of Board of Directors of a company. The
    probabilities that the first and second sets will win is 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. If the first set wins, the
    probability of introducing a new product is 0.8 and if the second set wins it is 0.3. What is the
    probability that the new product will be introduced?

    Q4. A packet of 10 electronic components is known to include 3 defectives. If 4 components are


    randomly chosen and tested, what is the probability of finding among them not more than one
    defective?

    Q5. The overall percentage of failures in a certain examination is 40. What is the probability that out
    of a group of 6 candidates at least 4 passed the examination?

    Q6. In a sample of 120 workers in a factory, the mean and s.d. of wages were Rs 11.35 and Rs. 3.03
    respectively. Find the percentage of workers getting wages between Rs. 9 and Rs. 17, assuming that
    the wages are normally distributed. (Given area under standard normal curve from z= 0 to z= 0.78 is
    0.2823 and to z= 1.86 is 0.4686).

    Q7. The safety limit of a crane is known to be 32 tonnes. The mean weight and the standard
    deviation of a large number of rods are 0.3 ton and 0.2 ton. 100 rods are lifted at a time Find the
    probability of an accident.

    Q8. It has been found that 2% of the tools produced by a certain machine are defective. What is the
    probability that in a shipment of 400 such tools 3% or more will be defective ? (Probability that the
    normal variate lies between 0 and 1.43 is 0.4236)

    Q9. The guaranteed average life of a certain type of light bulb is 1000 hours with a standard
    deviation of 125 hours. It is proposed to sample the output so as to assure that 90% of the bulbs do
    not fall short of the guaranteed average by more than 2.5 percent. What should be the minimum
    size of the sample?

    Area under standard normal curve z=0 to z=1.28 is 0.4000

    Q10. Problem2 : Draw a random sample of size 10 with replacement from the following frequency
    distribution and compare the sample mean with the population mean:

    You may use the random sampling numbers given: 5967 , 8941, 7989, 3335, 7577, 9735,

    3042, 8409, 7053, 5364, 5872, 1143

    Q11. What is the difference between point estimate and interval estimate ?
    • Q12. A sample of 11 circuits from a large normal population has a mean resistance of 2.20
    ohms. We know from past testing that the population standard deviation is 0.35 ohms.

    • Determine a 95% confidence interval for the true mean resistance of the population.

    Q13. How is Null Hypothesis different from Alternative Hypothesis ? What is Type 1 Error and Type 2
    Error?

     Q14. In a big city 325 men out of 600 were found to be graduates. Does this
    information support the conclusion that the majority of men in this city are graduates
     Q15. A random sample of size 10 was taken from a normal population whose
    variance is known to be 7.056 sq. inches. If the observation are in inches 65, 71, 64,
    71, 70, 69, 64, 63, 67, 68 . Test the hypothesis that the population mean is 69 inches.
    Also obtain 99% confidence limits for population mean.
