Q.1 (CO1) Define Binomial, Poission and Normal distribution. Also derive formula for mean and
variance of each distribution.
Q.2 (CO1) Define Uniform, Multinomial, Hyper geometric, Negative Binomial, Exponential, Gamma,
Weibull and Beta distributions. Also state formula of mean and variance of each
distribution.
Q.3 (CO2) Write the importance of Normal Distribution.
Q.5(CO3) What is the probability of guessing correctly at least six of the ten answers in a True –False
objective test?
Q.6 (CO3) The average test marks in a particular class is 79.The S.D is 5.If the marks are distributed normally,
how many students in a class of 200 not receive marks between 75 and 82?
Q.7(CO3) The frequency of accidents per shift in a factory is as shown in the following table:
Calculate the mean number of accidents per shift and the corresponding Poisson distribution
and compare with actual observations.
Q.8(CO3) Find the equation of the best fitting normal curve to the following distribution:
x f

Q.9(CO5) A random sample of 500 apples was taken from a large consignment and 60 were found to be bad.
Obtain the 98% confidence limits for the percentage of bad apples in the consignment.
Q.10(CO5) Work sampling studies are conducted to find the utilization of a machine. Out of 200 observations
made, only 40 observations indicated the machine to be idle. Find the number of observations to be made in
order to satisfy 95% confidence to state the utilization of machine with expected accuracy of ±5%.
Q.11 (CO4) In the following table are recorded data showing the test scores made by salesmen on an
intelligence test and their weekly sales:
Salesmen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Test Scores 40 70 50 60 80 50 90 40 60 60
Sales (000) 2.5 6 4.5 5 4.5 2 5.5 3 4.5 3
Calculate the regression line of sales on test scores and estimate the most probable weekly sales volume if a
salesman makes a score of 70.
Q.12 (CO4) Psychological test of intelligence and of engineering ability were appled to 10 students. Here is a
record of ungrouped data showing intelligence ratio (I.R.) and engineering ratio (E.R). Calculate the co-efficient
of correlation.
Student A B C D E F G H I J
I.R. 105 104 102 101 100 99 98 96 93 92
E.R. 101 103 100 98 95 96 104 92 97 94
Q.14(CO6) Prove that the maximum likelihood estimate of parameter 𝛼 of a population having density
function: (𝛼 − 𝑥), 0 < 𝑥 < 𝛼, for a sample of unit size is 2x, x being the sample value. Show also that
estimate is biased.
Q.15(CO3) In a certain factory turning out razor blades, 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 and two defective blades respectively in a
consignment of 1000 packets.
Q.16(CO4) Fit a Poisson distribution for the following data:
x: 0 1 2 3 4
f: 46 38 22 9 1
