(1) In a certain city, the duration of the shower is exponentially distributed with mean equal
to 5 minutes. What is the probability that a shower will last for (i) 10 minutes or more (ii)
less than 10 minutes (iii) between 10 and 12 minutes.
(2) In a test on 2000 electric bulbs, it was found that the life of a particular make was
normally distributed with an average life of 2040 hours and standard deviation of 60 hours.
Estimate the number of bulbs likely to burn for (a) more than 2150 hours, (b) less than 1950
hours and (c) more than 1920 hours and but less than 2160 hours.
A(1.83)=0.4664,A(1.33)=0.40 82 and A(2)=0.4772.
(3) The marks of 1000 students in a examination follow normal distribution with mean 70
standard deviation 5. Find the number of students whose marks will be (1) more than 75 (ii)
less than 65 (iii) between 65 and 75.
(5) In a certain factory turning out razor blades, there is a small chance of 0.002 for a blade
to be defective. The blades are supplied in packets of 10. Use Poisson distribution to
calculate the approximate number of packets containing (i) no defective (ii) one defective
(ii) two defective blades, in a consignment of 10,000 packets.
(6) 2% of fuses manufactured by a firm are found to be defective. Find the probability that a
box containing 200 fuses contains (i) no defective fuse (ii) 3 or more defective fuse (iii)
atleast 1 defective fuse (iv)exactly 3 defective fuses (v) between 2 and 4 defective fuses.
(7)The probability that a pen manufactured by a factory be defective is 1/10. If 12 such pens
are manufactured, what is the probability that, (i) exactly 2 are defective (ii) atleast 2 are
defective (iii) none of them are defective.
8)Find the value of k such that the following distribution represents a finite probability
distribution. Hence find its mean and standard deviation. Find (i) p( x <1 ) (ii) p(x ≥ -1)
x -2 -1 0 1 2 3
