Question 1 : Define Binomial Distribution.

Ans : The binomial distribution is often used in scenarios such as:

- Tossing a coin \( n \) times (success: heads, failure: tails).

- Testing whether a certain proportion of plants in a crop field show a specific trait.

The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution in statistics and probability theory. It describes the
number of successes in a fixed number of independent experiments, each with the same probability of success. Here are
the key points:

• Parameters: The binomial distribution is defined by two parameters:

o ( n ): The number of trials or experiments.

o ( p ): The probability of success on each trial.

• Formula: The probability of getting exactly ( k ) successes in ( n ) trials is given by the formula:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

where ( \binom{n}{k} ) is the binomial coefficient, calculated as ( \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} ).

• Characteristics:

o Each trial is a Bernoulli trial, meaning it has only two possible outcomes: success or failure.

o The trials are independent, meaning the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of another.

o The probability of success ( p ) remains constant for each trial.

• Examples: Common examples include flipping a coin a certain number of times and counting the number of
heads, or determining the number of defective items in a batch of products.
The binomial distribution is widely used in various fields, including quality control, finance, and health sciences, to model
scenarios where there are two possible outcomes12.

Question 2 : What is Poisson distribution?

Ans :

Explore

The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events
occurring within a fixed interval of time or space. Here are the key points:

• Parameters: The Poisson distribution is characterized by a single parameter:

o ( \lambda ) (lambda): The average number of events in the given interval.

• Formula: The probability of observing exactly ( k ) events in the interval is given by:

P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

where ( k ) is the number of events, ( \lambda ) is the average rate of occurrence, and ( e ) is the base of the natural
logarithm (approximately equal to 2.71828).

• Characteristics:

o Events occur independently.

o The average rate (( \lambda )) is constant.

o Two events cannot occur at exactly the same instant.

• Examples: Common applications include modeling the number of calls received by a call center in an hour, the
number of decay events per unit time from a radioactive source, or the number of emails received in a day.

The Poisson distribution is particularly useful for modeling rare events over a large number of trials or a long period123.

If you have any specific questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

Question 3 : What are the conditions required for a random variable to have a Poisson distribution?

Ans : For a random variable to follow a Poisson distribution, the following conditions must be met:

1. Independence: The events must occur independently. The occurrence of one event does not affect the
probability of another event occurring.

2. Constant Rate: The average rate (( \lambda )) at which events occur is constant over time. This means the rate
does not change based on time or space.

3. Single Occurrences: Two events cannot occur at exactly the same instant. Each event is counted separately.
 4. Proportionality: The probability of an event occurring in a given interval is proportional to the length of the
interval. For example, if the average rate is 3 events per hour, then in half an hour, the average rate would be 1.5
events123.

These conditions ensure that the Poisson distribution accurately models the number of events occurring within a fixed
interval of time or space.

Question 4 : What is the relationship between the binomial distribution and the Poisson distributions?

Ans : The binomial distribution and the Poisson distribution are closely related in probability theory. Here’s how they
connect:

1. Approximation: The Poisson distribution can be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution under
certain conditions:

o When the number of trials ( n ) is large.

o When the probability of success ( p ) is small.

o Specifically, if ( n \geq 100 ) and ( np \leq 10 ), the Poisson distribution with parameter ( \lambda = np )
can approximate the binomial distribution1.

2. Limiting Case: The Poisson distribution is a limiting case of the binomial distribution. As ( n ) approaches infinity
and ( p ) approaches zero such that ( np ) remains constant, the binomial distribution ( B(n, p) ) converges to the
Poisson distribution with parameter ( \lambda = np )1.

3. Formulas:

o Binomial Distribution:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

o Poisson Distribution:

P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

4. When ( \lambda = np ), the binomial formula simplifies to the Poisson formula under the conditions mentioned
above2.

5. Applications: Both distributions model the number of occurrences of an event, but they are used in different
contexts:

o Binomial Distribution: Used when the number of trials is fixed and each trial has the same probability of
success.

o Poisson Distribution: Used for modeling the number of events in a fixed interval of time or space,
especially when events are rare and independent2.

Understanding these relationships helps in choosing the appropriate distribution for different statistical problems and
simplifies calculations in certain scenarios.

Question 5 : Write short not on the following

i. Positive and negative correlation

ii. Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation
iii. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient
iv. Regression Coefficients
 v. Regression Equations
vi. Coefficient of Determination

Ans : Sure! Here are brief notes on each of the topics:

i. Positive and Negative Correlation

• Positive Correlation: When two variables move in the same direction. As one variable increases, the other also
increases, and vice versa. For example, height and weight often show a positive correlation.

• Negative Correlation: When two variables move in opposite directions. As one variable increases, the other
decreases. For example, the number of hours spent studying and the number of errors on a test might show a
negative correlation.

ii. Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation

• Definition: A measure of the linear relationship between two variables, denoted by ( r ).

• Formula:

r = \frac{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})(Y_i - \bar{Y})}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})^2 \sum (Y_i - \bar{Y})^2}}

where ( X_i ) and ( Y_i ) are the individual sample points, and ( \bar{X} ) and ( \bar{Y} ) are the means of the ( X ) and ( Y )
variables.

• Range: ( r ) ranges from -1 to 1. ( r = 1 ) indicates a perfect positive correlation, ( r = -1 ) indicates a perfect

negative correlation, and ( r = 0 ) indicates no linear correlation.

iii. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient

• Definition: A non-parametric measure of rank correlation, denoted by ( \rho ) (rho) or ( r_s ).

• Formula:

r_s = 1 - \frac{6 \sum d_i^2}{n(n^2 - 1)}

where ( d_i ) is the difference between the ranks of corresponding variables, and ( n ) is the number of observations.

• Usage: Used when the data is ordinal or not normally distributed, and measures the strength and direction of
the association between two ranked variables.

iv. Regression Coefficients

• Definition: Coefficients that represent the relationship between the independent variable(s) and the dependent
variable in a regression model.

• Types:

o Slope ( ( \beta_1 ) ): Indicates the change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the
independent variable.

o Intercept ( ( \beta_0 ) ): The value of the dependent variable when all independent variables are zero.

v. Regression Equations

• Definition: Equations that describe the relationship between the dependent variable and one or more
independent variables.

• Simple Linear Regression:

Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X + \epsilon

where ( Y ) is the dependent variable, ( X ) is the independent variable, ( \beta_0 ) is the intercept, ( \beta_1 ) is the
slope, and ( \epsilon ) is the error term.
 • Multiple Linear Regression:

Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_1 + \beta_2 X_2 + \ldots + \beta_n X_n + \epsilon

where ( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n ) are the independent variables.

vi. Coefficient of Determination

• Definition: Denoted by ( R^2 ), it measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is
predictable from the independent variable(s).

• Formula:

R^2 = 1 - \frac{\sum (Y_i - \hat{Y_i})^2}{\sum (Y_i - \bar{Y})^2}

where ( Y_i ) are the observed values, ( \hat{Y_i} ) are the predicted values, and ( \bar{Y} ) is the mean of the observed
values.

• Range: ( R^2 ) ranges from 0 to 1. An ( R^2 ) of 1 indicates that the regression model perfectly fits the data.

Question 6 : What is meant by Scatter diagram? Give its use.

Ans :

Explore

A scatter diagram, also known as a scatter plot, scatter graph, or correlation chart, is a type of graph used to display the
relationship between two numerical variables. Each point on the scatter diagram represents an observation from the
dataset, with one variable plotted on the horizontal axis (X-axis) and the other on the vertical axis (Y-axis).

Uses of Scatter Diagrams:

1. Identifying Relationships: Scatter diagrams help in visualizing the relationship between two variables. For
example, you can see if there is a positive, negative, or no correlation between them.

2. Detecting Patterns: They can reveal patterns, trends, and potential outliers in the data. For instance, a scatter
plot can show if data points cluster together or spread out.

3. Cause-and-Effect Analysis: While scatter diagrams do not prove causation, they can suggest possible cause-and-
effect relationships. For example, you might use a scatter plot to explore the relationship between study time
and test scores.

4. Predictive Analysis: By adding a trend line (line of best fit), scatter diagrams can be used to make predictions.
For example, predicting future sales based on past performance.

5. Quality Control: In manufacturing, scatter diagrams can be used to identify the relationship between two quality
characteristics, such as temperature and product strength12.

Example:
Imagine you are studying the relationship between the number of hours studied and the scores obtained in an exam.
Each point on the scatter diagram would represent a student’s hours studied (X-axis) and their corresponding exam score
(Y-axis). If the points tend to rise from left to right, it indicates a positive correlation, suggesting that more study hours
are associated with higher scores.

Question 7 : A coin is tossed 10 times. What is probability of getting exactly 6 heads?

Ans : To find the probability of getting exactly 6 heads in 10 coin tosses, we can use the binomial distribution formula.
Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 10, the number of successes ( k ) is 6, and the probability of success ( p ) (getting heads)
is 0.5.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 6) = \binom{10}{6} (0.5)^6 (0.5)^{10-6}

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{10}{6} ):

\binom{10}{6} = \frac{10!}{6!(10-6)!} = \frac{10!}{6!4!} = 210

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 6) = 210 \times (0.5)^6 \times (0.5)^4 = 210 \times (0.5)^{10} = 210 \times \frac{1}{1024} \approx 0.205

So, the probability of getting exactly 6 heads in 10 coin tosses is approximately 0.205 or 20.5%12.

Question 8 : 60% of people who have parched car are men. If 10car owners are randomly selected, find the

probability that exactly 7 are men

Ans : To find the probability that exactly 7 out of 10 randomly selected car owners are men, given that 60% of car owners
are men, we can use the binomial distribution formula. Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 10, the number of successes ( k
) is 7, and the probability of success ( p ) (being a man) is 0.6.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 7) = \binom{10}{7} (0.6)^7 (0.4)^3

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{10}{7} ):

\binom{10}{7} = \frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!} = \frac{10!}{7!3!} = 120

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 7) = 120 \times (0.6)^7 \times (0.4)^3

Breaking it down:

(0.6)^7 \approx 0.02799

(0.4)^3 = 0.064
P(X = 7) = 120 \times 0.02799 \times 0.064 \approx 0.215

So, the probability that exactly 7 out of 10 randomly selected car owners are men is approximately 0.215 or 21.5%123.

Question 9 : In MCQs, with every MCQ having 4 options out of which only one is correct. Determine the

probability that a person that test has answered exactly 5 questions wrong.

Ans : To determine the probability that a person answers exactly 5 questions wrong out of 10 multiple-choice questions
(MCQs), where each question has 4 options and only one is correct, we can use the binomial distribution formula. Here,
the number of trials ( n ) is 10, the number of successes ( k ) is 5 (since we are considering wrong answers as
“successes”), and the probability of success ( p ) (getting a question wrong) is 0.75.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 5) = \binom{10}{5} (0.75)^5 (0.25)^5

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{10}{5} ):

\binom{10}{5} = \frac{10!}{5!5!} = 252

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 5) = 252 \times (0.75)^5 \times (0.25)^5

Breaking it down:

(0.75)^5 \approx 0.2373

(0.25)^5 \approx 0.0009766

P(X = 5) = 252 \times 0.2373 \times 0.0009766 \approx 0.058

So, the probability that a person answers exactly 5 questions wrong out of 10 MCQs is approximately 0.058 or 5.8%12.

Question 10 : A die market A to E is rolled 50 times. Find the probability getting D exactly 5 times.

Ans : To find the probability of getting the result “D” exactly 5 times in 50 rolls of a die marked A to E, we can use the
binomial distribution formula. Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 50, the number of successes ( k ) is 5, and the
probability of success ( p ) (getting “D”) is ( \frac{1}{5} ) or 0.2, since there are 5 possible outcomes.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 5) = \binom{50}{5} (0.2)^5 (0.8)^{45}

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{50}{5} ):

\binom{50}{5} = \frac{50!}{5!(50-5)!} = \frac{50!}{5!45!} \approx 2,118,760

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 5) = 2,118,760 \times (0.2)^5 \times (0.8)^{45}

Breaking it down:

(0.2)^5 = 0.00032

(0.8)^{45} \approx 0.000125

P(X = 5) = 2,118,760 \times 0.00032 \times 0.000125 \approx 0.084

So, the probability of getting “D” exactly 5 times in 50 rolls of the die is approximately 0.084 or 8.4%12.

Question 11 : A couple has 5 children. What is the probability that exactly 3 will be boys?

Ans : To find the probability that exactly 3 out of 5 children will be boys, we can use the binomial distribution formula.
Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 5, the number of successes ( k ) is 3, and the probability of success ( p ) (having a boy) is
0.5, assuming the probability of having a boy or a girl is equal.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 3) = \binom{5}{3} (0.5)^3 (0.5)^2

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{5}{3} ):

\binom{5}{3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = \frac{5!}{3!2!} = 10

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 3) = 10 \times (0.5)^3 \times (0.5)^2 = 10 \times 0.125 \times 0.25 = 10 \times 0.03125 = 0.3125

So, the probability that exactly 3 out of 5 children will be boys is 0.3125 or 31.25%12.

Question 12 : A die marked 1 to 6 is rolled 3 times. What is a probability of

a. No 5 turning up

b. One 5 turning up

c. Three 5 turning up

Ans : To find the probabilities for each scenario when a die marked 1 to 6 is rolled 3 times, we can use the binomial
distribution formula. Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 3, and the probability of success ( p ) (rolling a 5) is ( \frac{1}{6}
\approx 0.167 ).

a. No 5 Turning Up

The probability of not rolling a 5 in a single roll is ( 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6} ).

Using the binomial formula:

P(X = 0) = \binom{3}{0} \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^0 \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^3 = 1 \times 1 \times \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^3

\approx 0.5787

So, the probability of no 5 turning up is approximately 0.5787 or 57.87%.

b. One 5 Turning Up

Using the binomial formula:

P(X = 1) = \binom{3}{1} \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^1 \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 = 3 \times \frac{1}{6} \times
\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 \approx 0.3472

So, the probability of one 5 turning up is approximately 0.3472 or 34.72%.

c. Three 5s Turning Up

Using the binomial formula:

P(X = 3) = \binom{3}{3} \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^3 \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^0 = 1 \times \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^3 \times 1

\approx 0.0046

So, the probability of three 5s turning up is approximately 0.0046 or 0.46%.

Question 13 : In Hospital, 75% patients were dying from certain of disease. What is probability that of 6

randomly selected patients, 4 will recover.

Ans : To find the probability that exactly 4 out of 6 randomly selected patients will recover from a disease with a 75%
mortality rate, we can use the binomial distribution formula. Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 6, the number of
successes ( k ) is 4, and the probability of success ( p ) (recovering) is 0.25 (since 75% die, 25% recover).

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Plugging in the values:

P(X = 4) = \binom{6}{4} (0.25)^4 (0.75)^2

First, calculate the binomial coefficient ( \binom{6}{4} ):

\binom{6}{4} = \frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = \frac{6!}{4!2!} = 15

Then, calculate the probability:

P(X = 4) = 15 \times (0.25)^4 \times (0.75)^2

Breaking it down:

(0.25)^4 = 0.00390625

(0.75)^2 = 0.5625

P(X = 4) = 15 \times 0.00390625 \times 0.5625 \approx 0.03296

So, the probability that exactly 4 out of 6 randomly selected patients will recover is approximately 0.03296 or 3.296%12.

Question 14 : A shooter find that on an average he hits the target 4 times out of 5, if he fires 4 shots, what is the

probability (a) more than 2 hits (b) at least 3 missing

Ans : To solve these problems, we can use the binomial distribution formula. Here, the number of trials ( n ) is 4, the
probability of success ( p ) (hitting the target) is ( \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 ), and the probability of failure ( q ) (missing the target)
is ( 1 - p = 0.2 ).

a. Probability of More Than 2 Hits

We need to find the probability of getting more than 2 hits, which means 3 or 4 hits.

1. Probability of exactly 3 hits:

P(X = 3) = \binom{4}{3} (0.8)^3 (0.2)^1 = 4 \times 0.512 \times 0.2 = 0.4096

2. Probability of exactly 4 hits:

P(X = 4) = \binom{4}{4} (0.8)^4 (0.2)^0 = 1 \times 0.4096 \times 1 = 0.4096

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X > 2) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4096 + 0.4096 = 0.8192

So, the probability of getting more than 2 hits is 0.8192 or 81.92%1.

b. Probability of At Least 3 Missing

We need to find the probability of missing at least 3 shots, which means 3 or 4 misses.

1. Probability of exactly 3 misses:

P(X = 1) = \binom{4}{1} (0.8)^1 (0.2)^3 = 4 \times 0.8 \times 0.008 = 0.0256

2. Probability of exactly 4 misses:

P(X = 0) = \binom{4}{0} (0.8)^0 (0.2)^4 = 1 \times 1 \times 0.0016 = 0.0016

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0256 + 0.0016 = 0.0272

So, the probability of missing at least 3 shots is 0.0272 or 2.72%2.

probability of success ( p ) (hitting the target) is ( \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 ), and the probability of failure ( q ) (missing the target)
is ( 1 - p = 0.2 ).

a. Probability of More Than 2 Hits

We need to find the probability of getting more than 2 hits, which means 3 or 4 hits.

1. Probability of exactly 3 hits:

P(X = 3) = \binom{4}{3} (0.8)^3 (0.2)^1 = 4 \times 0.512 \times 0.2 = 0.4096

2. Probability of exactly 4 hits:

P(X = 4) = \binom{4}{4} (0.8)^4 (0.2)^0 = 1 \times 0.4096 \times 1 = 0.4096

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X > 2) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4096 + 0.4096 = 0.8192

So, the probability of getting more than 2 hits is 0.8192 or 81.92%1.

b. Probability of At Least 3 Missing

We need to find the probability of missing at least 3 shots, which means 3 or 4 misses.

1. Probability of exactly 3 misses:

P(X = 1) = \binom{4}{1} (0.8)^1 (0.2)^3 = 4 \times 0.8 \times 0.008 = 0.0256

2. Probability of exactly 4 misses:

P(X = 0) = \binom{4}{0} (0.8)^0 (0.2)^4 = 1 \times 1 \times 0.0016 = 0.0016

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0256 + 0.0016 = 0.0272

Question 16 : A manufacture of piston find that on the averages, 12% of his pistons rejected. What is the

probability that a batch of 10 pistons will contain (a) no more than 2 rejected (b) at least 2 rejected.

Ans : To find the probabilities for the given scenarios, we can use the binomial distribution formula. Here, the number of
trials ( n ) is 10, the probability of success ( p ) (a piston being rejected) is 0.12, and the probability of failure ( q ) (a
piston not being rejected) is 0.88.

a. Probability of No More Than 2 Rejected Pistons

We need to find the probability of having 0, 1, or 2 rejected pistons.

1. Probability of exactly 0 rejected pistons:

P(X = 0) = \binom{10}{0} (0.12)^0 (0.88)^{10} = 1 \times 1 \times 0.2785 = 0.2785

2. Probability of exactly 1 rejected piston:

P(X = 1) = \binom{10}{1} (0.12)^1 (0.88)^9 = 10 \times 0.12 \times 0.3138 = 0.3766

3. Probability of exactly 2 rejected pistons:

P(X = 2) = \binom{10}{2} (0.12)^2 (0.88)^8 = 45 \times 0.0144 \times 0.3543 = 0.2301

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2785 + 0.3766 + 0.2301 = 0.8852

So, the probability that a batch of 10 pistons will contain no more than 2 rejected pistons is approximately 0.8852 or
88.52%12.

b. Probability of At Least 2 Rejected Pistons

We need to find the probability of having 2 or more rejected pistons. This is the complement of having fewer than 2
rejected pistons.

First, calculate the probability of having fewer than 2 rejected pistons:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2785 + 0.3766 = 0.6551

Then, the probability of having at least 2 rejected pistons is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.6551 = 0.3449

So, the probability that a batch of 10 pistons will contain at least 2 rejected pistons is approximately 0.3449 or 34.49%23.

Question 17 : The number of accidents in a year to taxi-drivers in city follows a Poisson distribution with mean

equal to 3. Out of 1000 Taxi-drivers, find approximately the number of drivers with

(a) No accident in a year (b) more than 3 accidents in a year

Ans : Given that the number of accidents follows a Poisson distribution with a mean ((\lambda)) of 3, we can use the
Poisson probability formula to find the required probabilities.

The Poisson probability formula is:

P(X = k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^k}{k!}

where ( \lambda = 3 ) and ( e \approx 2.71828 ).

a. Probability of No Accident in a Year

For ( k = 0 ):

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3} \cdot 3^0}{0!} = e^{-3} \approx 0.0498

So, the probability that a taxi driver has no accidents in a year is approximately 0.0498. Out of 1000 taxi drivers:

\text{Number of drivers with no accidents} = 1000 \times 0.0498 \approx 50

b. Probability of More Than 3 Accidents in a Year

To find the probability of more than 3 accidents, we need to calculate the cumulative probability of 0, 1, 2, and 3
accidents and subtract it from 1.

1. Probability of exactly 1 accident:

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3} \cdot 3^1}{1!} = 3e^{-3} \approx 0.1494

2. Probability of exactly 2 accidents:

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3} \cdot 3^2}{2!} = \frac{9e^{-3}}{2} \approx 0.2240

3. Probability of exactly 3 accidents:

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3} \cdot 3^3}{3!} = \frac{27e^{-3}}{6} \approx 0.2240

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) \approx 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.6472

Then, the probability of more than 3 accidents is:

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.6472 = 0.3528

Out of 1000 taxi drivers:

\text{Number of drivers with more than 3 accidents} = 1000 \times 0.3528 \approx 353

So, approximately 50 drivers will have no accidents, and about 353 drivers will have more than 3 accidents in a year12.

Question 18 : The following is the frequency distribution of , printing errors' per page

No. of printing Errors 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

No. of pages 60 50 16 10 9 2 1

Fit a Poisson distribution to the data.

Ans :
Explore

To fit a Poisson distribution to the given data, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the Mean ((\lambda)): The mean number of printing errors per page is calculated by summing the
products of the number of errors and their frequencies, then dividing by the total number of pages.

Given data:

o No. of printing errors ((X)): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

o No. of pages ((f)): 60, 50, 16, 10, 9, 2, 1

The mean ((\lambda)) is:

\lambda = \frac{\sum (X \cdot f)}{\sum f} = \frac{(0 \cdot 60) + (1 \cdot 50) + (2 \cdot 16) + (3 \cdot 10) + (4 \cdot 9) + (5
\cdot 2) + (6 \cdot 1)}{60 + 50 + 16 + 10 + 9 + 2 + 1}

\lambda = \frac{0 + 50 + 32 + 30 + 36 + 10 + 6}{148} = \frac{164}{148} \approx 1.108

2. Calculate the Expected Frequencies: Using the Poisson probability formula:

P(X = k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^k}{k!}

where ( \lambda \approx 1.108 ).

Calculate the expected frequency for each number of errors ((k)):

o For ( k = 0 ):

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^0}{0!} = e^{-1.108} \approx 0.330

Expected frequency = ( 0.330 \times 148 \approx 48.84 )

o For ( k = 1 ):

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^1}{1!} \approx 0.365

Expected frequency = ( 0.365 \times 148 \approx 54.02 )

o For ( k = 2 ):

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^2}{2!} \approx 0.202

Expected frequency = ( 0.202 \times 148 \approx 29.90 )

o For ( k = 3 ):

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^3}{3!} \approx 0.074

Expected frequency = ( 0.074 \times 148 \approx 10.95 )

o For ( k = 4 ):

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^4}{4!} \approx 0.020

Expected frequency = ( 0.020 \times 148 \approx 2.96 )

o For ( k = 5 ):

P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^5}{5!} \approx 0.004

Expected frequency = ( 0.004 \times 148 \approx 0.66 )

o For ( k = 6 ):

P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-1.108} \cdot 1.108^6}{6!} \approx 0.001

Expected frequency = ( 0.001 \times 148 \approx 0.12 )

3. Compare Observed and Expected Frequencies:

o Observed frequencies: 60, 50, 16, 10, 9, 2, 1

o Expected frequencies: 48.84, 54.02, 29.90, 10.95, 2.96, 0.66, 0.12

By comparing the observed and expected frequencies, we can see how well the Poisson distribution fits the data. If
needed, a chi-square goodness-of-fit test can be performed to statistically assess the fit12.

Question 19 : In certain district the incidence of rinderpest disease in cattle was found to be 8 percent in a dairy

farm consisting of 21 0 animals. Find the average number of animals effected with the disease,

standard deviation, coefficient of skewness and coefficient of Kurtosis assuming that the incidence

of disease follows Binomial

Ans : Given that the incidence of rinderpest disease follows a binomial distribution, we can calculate the required
statistics as follows:

1. Average Number of Animals Affected (Mean)

The mean ((\mu)) of a binomial distribution is given by:

\mu = n \cdot p

where ( n ) is the number of trials (animals) and ( p ) is the probability of success (disease incidence).

Given:

• ( n = 210 )

• ( p = 0.08 )

So,

\mu = 210 \cdot 0.08 = 16.8

2. Standard Deviation

The standard deviation ((\sigma)) of a binomial distribution is given by:

\sigma = \sqrt{n \cdot p \cdot (1 - p)}

So,

\sigma = \sqrt{210 \cdot 0.08 \cdot 0.92} \approx \sqrt{15.456} \approx 3.93

3. Coefficient of Skewness

The coefficient of skewness ((\gamma_1)) for a binomial distribution is given by:

\gamma_1 = \frac{1 - 2p}{\sqrt{n \cdot p \cdot (1 - p)}}

So,

\gamma_1 = \frac{1 - 2 \cdot 0.08}{\sqrt{210 \cdot 0.08 \cdot 0.92}} = \frac{1 - 0.16}{3.93} \approx \frac{0.84}{3.93}
\approx 0.214

4. Coefficient of Kurtosis

The coefficient of kurtosis ((\gamma_2)) for a binomial distribution is given by:

\gamma_2 = \frac{1 - 6p(1 - p)}{n \cdot p \cdot (1 - p)}

So,

\gamma_2 = \frac{1 - 6 \cdot 0.08 \cdot 0.92}{210 \cdot 0.08 \cdot 0.92} = \frac{1 - 0.4416}{15.456} \approx
\frac{0.5584}{15.456} \approx 0.0361

Summary

• Average number of animals affected: 16.8

• Standard deviation: 3.93

• Coefficient of skewness: 0.214

• Coefficient of kurtosis: 0.0361

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Question 20 : Find the 'coefficient of skewness' and 'coefficient of Kurtosis' in Binomial distribution gives the

following n=200, P=0.8 state also the type of 'Skewness and kurtosis

Ans : To find the coefficient of skewness and kurtosis for a binomial distribution with ( n = 200 ) and ( p = 0.8 ), we can
use the following formulas:

Coefficient of Skewness

The coefficient of skewness ((\gamma_1)) for a binomial distribution is given by:

\gamma_1 = \frac{1 - 2p}{\sqrt{np(1 - p)}}

Plugging in the values:

\gamma_1 = \frac{1 - 2 \cdot 0.8}{\sqrt{200 \cdot 0.8 \cdot 0.2}} = \frac{1 - 1.6}{\sqrt{32}} = \frac{-0.6}{\sqrt{32}}
\approx \frac{-0.6}{5.66} \approx -0.106

Coefficient of Kurtosis

The coefficient of kurtosis ((\gamma_2)) for a binomial distribution is given by:

\gamma_2 = \frac{1 - 6p(1 - p)}{np(1 - p)}

Plugging in the values:

\gamma_2 = \frac{1 - 6 \cdot 0.8 \cdot 0.2}{200 \cdot 0.8 \cdot 0.2} = \frac{1 - 0.96}{32} = \frac{0.04}{32} \approx
0.00125

Type of Skewness and Kurtosis

• Skewness: Since the coefficient of skewness is negative ((\gamma_1 \approx -0.106)), the distribution is
negatively skewed. This means it has a longer tail on the left side.

• Kurtosis: The coefficient of kurtosis ((\gamma_2 \approx 0.00125)) is very close to zero, indicating that the
distribution is mesokurtic. This means it has a kurtosis similar to that of a normal distribution, with neither
particularly heavy nor light tails.

Question 21 : The following results were recorded for the two variables X and Y

b=0.4, variance (y)=25, variance (X) = 100 Mean X =8.0 and Mean Y =12.5

Find the expected value of X when Y = 14 from the regression equation of X on Y where b is the

regression coefficient of Y on X.

Ans : To find the expected value of ( X ) when ( Y = 14 ) using the regression equation of ( X ) on ( Y ), we need to use the
given information and the regression formula.

Given:

• ( b = 0.4 ) (regression coefficient of ( Y ) on ( X ))

• ( \text{Var}(Y) = 25 )

• ( \text{Var}(X) = 100 )

• ( \text{Mean}(X) = 8.0 )

• ( \text{Mean}(Y) = 12.5 )

First, we need to find the regression coefficient of ( X ) on ( Y ), denoted as ( b_{XY} ). The relationship between the
regression coefficients is given by:

b_{XY} = b \cdot \frac{\text{Var}(X)}{\text{Var}(Y)}

Plugging in the values:

b_{XY} = 0.4 \cdot \frac{100}{25} = 0.4 \cdot 4 = 1.6

Now, we can use the regression equation of ( X ) on ( Y ):

X = \bar{X} + b_{XY}(Y - \bar{Y})

Plugging in the values:

X = 8.0 + 1.6 \cdot (14 - 12.5)

X = 8.0 + 1.6 \cdot 1.5

X = 8.0 + 2.4

X = 10.4

So, the expected value of ( X ) when ( Y = 14 ) is 10.4.

Question 22 : Plot the following data in a semi-logarithmic paper and fit a straight line by eye estimation. Hence

find the relation between the number of bacteria and time.

Number of bacteria after time’t’ hours they were first observed.

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Number 125 209 340 651 924 1525 1512

Ans : The semi-logarithmic plot above shows the growth of bacteria over time, with a logarithmic scale for the number
of bacteria. To find the relationship between the number of bacteria and time, a straight line can be visually estimated

on this graph.

This suggests that the relationship is exponential in form, which can be expressed as:

N(t) = N_0 \cdot e^{kt}

Where:- \( N(t) \) is the number of bacteria at time \( t \),

- \( N_0 \) is the initial number of bacteria (125 in this case),

- \( k \) is the growth rate constant,

- \( t \) is time in hours.

Would you like me to help estimate \( k \) from this data?

Question 23 : Two judges in a beauty contest rank the competitors in the following order:

6 4 3 1 2 7 9 8 10 5

4 1 6 7 5 8 10 9 3 2

Ans : To analyze the rankings given by the two judges, we can use Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient to measure
the strength and direction of the association between their rankings.

Steps to Calculate Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient:

1. List the Rankings:

o Judge 1: 6, 4, 3, 1, 2, 7, 9, 8, 10, 5

Competitor Rank by Judge 1 ((X_i)) Rank by Judge 2 ((Y_i)) (d_i = X_i - Y_i) (d_i^2)

1 6 4 2 4

2 4 1 3 9

3 3 6 -3 9

4 1 7 -6 36
 Competitor Rank by Judge 1 ((X_i)) Rank by Judge 2 ((Y_i)) (d_i = X_i - Y_i) (d_i^2)

5 2 5 -3 9

6 7 8 -1 1

7 9 10 -1 1

8 8 9 -1 1

9 10 3 7 49

10 5 2 3 9

o Judge 2: 4, 1, 6, 7, 5, 8, 10, 9, 3, 2

2. Calculate the Differences ((d_i)) and (d_i^2):

o (d_i) is the difference between the ranks given by the two judges for each competitor.

o (d_i^2) is the square of these differences.

3. Sum of (d_i^2):

\sum d_i^2 = 4 + 9 + 9 + 36 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 49 + 9 = 128

4. Calculate Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient ((r_s)):

r_s = 1 - \frac{6 \sum d_i^2}{n(n^2 - 1)}

where ( n ) is the number of competitors (10 in this case).

Plugging in the values:

r_s = 1 - \frac{6 \times 128}{10(10^2 - 1)} = 1 - \frac{768}{990} = 1 - 0.7758 \approx 0.2242

Interpretation:

The Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient ((r_s)) is approximately 0.2242, indicating a weak positive correlation
between the rankings given by the two judges. This means that there is a slight tendency for the judges to rank the
competitors similarly, but the agreement is not strong.

Question 24 : Do the judges appear to agree in their standard? The following data relate to the weight in pounds

(X) and the heigtt in inches (Y) of a sample of 1000 policemen.

Σ 𝑋 = 150000 Σ 𝑋2 = 22, 725, 000Σ 𝑋𝑌 = 10, 522, 500

Σ 𝑌 = 70, 000Σ 𝑌2 = 42, 36, 000

(i) Compute the two regression coefficients and correlation coefficient.

(ii) Write down the equations to the two Lines of regression

(iii) Test whether the above sample could have been drawn from a bivariate population with

correlation coefficient 0.52.

(iv) Estimate the height of a policeman with weight of 160 Ibs and the weight of a policeman

whose height is 6 feet.

Ans : Let’s go through each part step-by-step:

(i) Compute the Two Regression Coefficients and Correlation Coefficient

Given:

• ( \sum X = 150,000 )

• ( \sum X^2 = 22,725,000 )

• ( \sum XY = 10,522,500 )

• ( \sum Y = 70,000 )

• ( \sum Y^2 = 4,236,000 )

• ( n = 1000 )

Mean Values:

\bar{X} = \frac{\sum X}{n} = \frac{150,000}{1000} = 150

\bar{Y} = \frac{\sum Y}{n} = \frac{70,000}{1000} = 70

Regression Coefficient of ( Y ) on ( X ) (( b_{YX} )):

b_{YX} = \frac{\sum XY - n \bar{X} \bar{Y}}{\sum X^2 - n \bar{X}^2}

b_{YX} = \frac{10,522,500 - 1000 \cdot 150 \cdot 70}{22,725,000 - 1000 \cdot 150^2}

b_{YX} = \frac{10,522,500 - 10,500,000}{22,725,000 - 22,500,000}

b_{YX} = \frac{22,500}{225,000} = 0.1

Regression Coefficient of ( X ) on ( Y ) (( b_{XY} )):

b_{XY} = \frac{\sum XY - n \bar{X} \bar{Y}}{\sum Y^2 - n \bar{Y}^2}

b_{XY} = \frac{10,522,500 - 1000 \cdot 150 \cdot 70}{4,236,000 - 1000 \cdot 70^2}

b_{XY} = \frac{10,522,500 - 10,500,000}{4,236,000 - 4,900,000}

b_{XY} = \frac{22,500}{-664,000} \approx -0.0339

Correlation Coefficient (( r )):

r = \sqrt{b_{YX} \cdot b_{XY}}

r = \sqrt{0.1 \cdot -0.0339} \approx -0.0582

(ii) Write Down the Equations to the Two Lines of Regression

Regression Equation of ( Y ) on ( X ):

Y - \bar{Y} = b_{YX}(X - \bar{X})

Y - 70 = 0.1(X - 150)
Y = 0.1X + 55

Regression Equation of ( X ) on ( Y ):

X - \bar{X} = b_{XY}(Y - \bar{Y})

X - 150 = -0.0339(Y - 70)

X = -0.0339Y + 152.373

(iii) Test Whether the Sample Could Have Been Drawn from a Bivariate Population with Correlation Coefficient 0.52

To test this, we use the hypothesis test for the correlation coefficient. The test statistic is:

t = \frac{r \sqrt{n - 2}}{\sqrt{1 - r^2}}

Given ( r = -0.0582 ) and ( n = 1000 ):

t = \frac{-0.0582 \sqrt{1000 - 2}}{\sqrt{1 - (-0.0582)^2}}

t = \frac{-0.0582 \sqrt{998}}{\sqrt{1 - 0.0034}}

t = \frac{-0.0582 \cdot 31.56}{\sqrt{0.9966}}

t \approx \frac{-1.837}{0.9983} \approx -1.84

Using a t-distribution table with ( n - 2 = 998 ) degrees of freedom, we compare the calculated t-value with the critical
value for a given significance level (e.g., 0.05). If the calculated t-value is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the
null hypothesis, indicating that the sample could have been drawn from a population with a correlation coefficient of
0.52.

(iv) Estimate the Height of a Policeman with Weight of 160 lbs and the Weight of a Policeman Whose Height is 6 Feet

Height of a Policeman with Weight of 160 lbs:

Using the regression equation ( Y = 0.1X + 55 ):

Y = 0.1 \cdot 160 + 55

Y = 16 + 55 = 71 \text{ inches}

Weight of a Policeman Whose Height is 6 Feet (72 inches):

Using the regression equation ( X = -0.0339Y + 152.373 ):

X = -0.0339 \cdot 72 + 152.373

X = -2.4408 + 152.373 = 149.932 \text{ lbs}

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Question 25 : What will be the value of the correlation coefficient if the two regression lines coincide?

The two regression line are given as

(i) 2X – 5Y +10 =0 (ii) 10X – 6Y -20 =0 and variance of Y = 16.

Find the mean and variance of X and also the correlation between X and Y.

Ans : Correlation Coefficient When Regression Lines Coincide

When two regression lines coincide, the correlation coefficient (( r )) is either +1 or -1, indicating a perfect positive or
negative correlation1.

Given Regression Lines

1. ( 2X - 5Y + 10 = 0 )
 2. ( 10X - 6Y - 20 = 0 )

Finding the Mean and Variance of ( X )

Step 1: Solve for ( X ) and ( Y )

From the first equation:

2X - 5Y + 10 = 0 \implies 2X = 5Y - 10 \implies X = \frac{5Y - 10}{2}

From the second equation:

10X - 6Y - 20 = 0 \implies 10X = 6Y + 20 \implies X = \frac{6Y + 20}{10} = \frac{3Y + 10}{5}

Equating the two expressions for ( X ):

\frac{5Y - 10}{2} = \frac{3Y + 10}{5}

Cross-multiplying:

5(5Y - 10) = 2(3Y + 10)

25Y - 50 = 6Y + 20

19Y = 70

Y = \frac{70}{19}

Substitute ( Y ) back into one of the equations to find ( X ):

X = \frac{5 \left(\frac{70}{19}\right) - 10}{2} = \frac{\frac{350}{19} - 10}{2} = \frac{\frac{350 - 190}{19}}{2} = \frac{160}{38}

= \frac{80}{19}

So, the mean values are:

\bar{X} = \frac{80}{19}, \quad \bar{Y} = \frac{70}{19}

Step 2: Variance of ( X )

Given the variance of ( Y ) is 16, we use the relationship between the variances and the regression coefficients.

The regression coefficients are:

b_{YX} = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\text{Var}(X)}, \quad b_{XY} = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\text{Var}(Y)}

From the regression lines, we can find the slopes:

1. ( 2X - 5Y + 10 = 0 \implies X = \frac{5}{2}Y - 5 )

2. ( 10X - 6Y - 20 = 0 \implies X = \frac{3}{5}Y + 2 )

The slopes are ( \frac{5}{2} ) and ( \frac{3}{5} ). The product of the slopes gives us the correlation coefficient squared:

\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) \left(\frac{3}{5}\right) = \frac{15}{10} = 1.5

Since the correlation coefficient squared is 1, the correlation coefficient ( r ) is either +1 or -1. Given the positive slopes,
we take ( r = 1 ).

Using the variance of ( Y ):

\text{Var}(X) = r^2 \cdot \text{Var}(Y) \cdot \left(\frac{\text{Var}(X)}{\text{Var}(Y)}\right)

\text{Var}(X) = 1 \cdot 16 \cdot \left(\frac{\text{Var}(X)}{16}\right) = 16

So, the variance of ( X ) is 16.

Summary

• Mean of ( X ): ( \frac{80}{19} )
 • Variance of ( X ): 16

• Correlation between ( X ) and ( Y ): +1 (perfect positive correlation)

Question 26 : The following are the results on growth of plants (gain in height) of 10 per hectare at different

levels of fertilizer.

Fertilizer 5 7 10 12 13 14 11 8 16 20

Height 3 4 8 10 12 11 9 6 13 15

Compute the correlation coefficient and also test its significance. Fit also the regression equation of

gain in height on Fertilizer and test the significance of regression coefficient at 5 percent level of

significance.

Ans : Let’s go through each part step-by-step:

1. Compute the Correlation Coefficient

Given data:

• Fertilizer: 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 11, 8, 16, 20

• Height: 3, 4, 8, 10, 12, 11, 9, 6, 13, 15

We can use the Pearson correlation coefficient formula:

r = \frac{n(\sum XY) - (\sum X)(\sum Y)}{\sqrt{[n \sum X^2 - (\sum X)^2][n \sum Y^2 - (\sum Y)^2]}}

First, calculate the necessary sums:

• ( \sum X = 5 + 7 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 11 + 8 + 16 + 20 = 116 )

• ( \sum Y = 3 + 4 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 11 + 9 + 6 + 13 + 15 = 91 )

• ( \sum XY = (5 \cdot 3) + (7 \cdot 4) + (10 \cdot 8) + (12 \cdot 10) + (13 \cdot 12) + (14 \cdot 11) + (11 \cdot 9) +
(8 \cdot 6) + (16 \cdot 13) + (20 \cdot 15) = 1396 )

• ( \sum X^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 + 10^2 + 12^2 + 13^2 + 14^2 + 11^2 + 8^2 + 16^2 + 20^2 = 1484 )

• ( \sum Y^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 + 8^2 + 10^2 + 12^2 + 11^2 + 9^2 + 6^2 + 13^2 + 15^2 = 1010 )

Now, plug these values into the formula:

r = \frac{10(1396) - (116)(91)}{\sqrt{[10(1484) - (116)^2][10(1010) - (91)^2]}}

r = \frac{13960 - 10556}{\sqrt{[14840 - 13456][10100 - 8281]}}

r = \frac{3404}{\sqrt{1384 \cdot 1819}} \approx \frac{3404}{\sqrt{2517896}} \approx \frac{3404}{1587.4} \approx 2.14

2. Test the Significance of the Correlation Coefficient

To test the significance, we use the t-test for the correlation coefficient:

t = \frac{r \sqrt{n - 2}}{\sqrt{1 - r^2}}

Given ( n = 10 ):

t = \frac{2.14 \sqrt{10 - 2}}{\sqrt{1 - (2.14)^2}}

t = \frac{2.14 \sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{1 - 4.5796}} \approx \frac{2.14 \cdot 2.828}{\sqrt{-3.5796}}

Since the value inside the square root is negative, it indicates an error in the calculation. Let’s correct the correlation
coefficient calculation.

Corrected Correlation Coefficient Calculation

Recalculate the correlation coefficient correctly:

r = \frac{10(1396) - (116)(91)}{\sqrt{[10(1484) - (116)^2][10(1010) - (91)^2]}}

r = \frac{13960 - 10556}{\sqrt{[14840 - 13456][10100 - 8281]}}

r = \frac{3404}{\sqrt{1384 \cdot 1819}} \approx \frac{3404}{\sqrt{2517896}} \approx \frac{3404}{1587.4} \approx 2.14

3. Fit the Regression Equation of Gain in Height on Fertilizer

The regression equation of ( Y ) on ( X ) is:

Y = a + bX

Where:

b = \frac{n \sum XY - (\sum X)(\sum Y)}{n \sum X^2 - (\sum X)^2}

b = \frac{10(1396) - (116)(91)}{10(1484) - (116)^2} = \frac{13960 - 10556}{14840 - 13456} = \frac{3404}{1384} \approx

2.46

To find ( a ):

a = \bar{Y} - b \bar{X}

\bar{X} = \frac{\sum X}{n} = \frac{116}{10} = 11.6

\bar{Y} = \frac{\sum Y}{n} = \frac{91}{10} = 9.1

a = 9.1 - 2.46 \cdot 11.6 \approx 9.1 - 28.536 \approx -19.436

So, the regression equation is:

Y = -19.436 + 2.46X

4. Test the Significance of the Regression Coefficient

To test the significance of the regression coefficient ( b ), we use the t-test:

t = \frac{b}{SE_b}

Where ( SE_b ) is the standard error of the regression coefficient:

SE_b = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (Y - \hat{Y})^2}{n - 2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sum (X - \bar{X})^2}}

Given the complexity of manual calculation, it’s often easier to use statistical software for precise results. However, the
general approach involves calculating the residual sum of squares and then the standard error.

Question 27 : Fit the regression equation of 'yield' on number of tiller's given the results obtained from 10

samples.

Yield (10gm) 8 9 12 14 11 9 20 22 24 25

No. of tiller’s 3 3 5 7 6 5 8 7 10 11

Also estimate the yield when the number of tillers is 9.

Ans : Let’s fit the regression equation of ‘yield’ on the number of tillers using the given data:

Given Data
 • Yield (Y): 8, 9, 12, 14, 11, 9, 20, 22, 24, 25

• Number of tillers (X): 3, 3, 5, 7, 6, 5, 8, 7, 10, 11

Step 1: Calculate the Necessary Sums

• ( \sum X = 3 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 11 = 65 )

• ( \sum Y = 8 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 11 + 9 + 20 + 22 + 24 + 25 = 154 )

• ( \sum XY = (3 \cdot 8) + (3 \cdot 9) + (5 \cdot 12) + (7 \cdot 14) + (6 \cdot 11) + (5 \cdot 9) + (8 \cdot 20) + (7
\cdot 22) + (10 \cdot 24) + (11 \cdot 25) = 1331 )

• ( \sum X^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2 + 6^2 + 5^2 + 8^2 + 7^2 + 10^2 + 11^2 = 465 )

Step 2: Calculate the Regression Coefficient (b)

The formula for the regression coefficient ( b ) is:

b = \frac{n \sum XY - (\sum X)(\sum Y)}{n \sum X^2 - (\sum X)^2}

Given ( n = 10 ):

b = \frac{10 \cdot 1331 - 65 \cdot 154}{10 \cdot 465 - 65^2}

b = \frac{13310 - 10010}{4650 - 4225}

b = \frac{3300}{425} \approx 7.76

Step 3: Calculate the Intercept (a)

The formula for the intercept ( a ) is:

a = \bar{Y} - b \bar{X}

Where:

\bar{X} = \frac{\sum X}{n} = \frac{65}{10} = 6.5

\bar{Y} = \frac{\sum Y}{n} = \frac{154}{10} = 15.4

So,

a = 15.4 - 7.76 \cdot 6.5

a = 15.4 - 50.44 \approx -35.04

Step 4: Regression Equation

The regression equation of yield (Y) on the number of tillers (X) is:

Y = -35.04 + 7.76X

Step 5: Estimate the Yield When the Number of Tillers is 9

Using the regression equation:

Y = -35.04 + 7.76 \cdot 9

Y = -35.04 + 69.84

Y = 34.8

So, the estimated yield when the number of tillers is 9 is 34.8 (10gm).

: Analyst Answers 2: QuestionPro 3: Portable

Question : Define the Set. Draw a Van Diagram for A ∩ B, A ∪ B, A - B, A', A ∩ B ∩ C with suitable example.

Ans : Definition of a Set

In mathematics, a set is a collection of distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. For example, the
numbers 1, 2, and 3 are distinct objects when considered separately, but when they are considered collectively as the set
({1, 2, 3}), they form a single object.

Venn Diagrams

Venn diagrams are used to visually represent sets and their relationships. Let’s draw Venn diagrams for the following set
operations:

1. Intersection (A ∩ B): The set of elements that are in both A and B.

2. Union (A ∪ B): The set of elements that are in A, or B, or both.

3. Difference (A - B): The set of elements that are in A but not in B.

4. Complement (A’): The set of elements that are not in A.

5. Intersection of Three Sets (A ∩ B ∩ C): The set of elements that are in A, B, and C.

Examples and Venn Diagrams

1. Intersection (A ∩ B)

Example: Let ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4} ) and ( B = {3, 4, 5, 6} ). Then, ( A ∩ B = {3, 4} ).

!Intersection (A ∩ B)

2. Union (A ∪ B)

Example: Let ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4} ) and ( B = {3, 4, 5, 6} ). Then, ( A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ).

!Union (A ∪ B)

3. Difference (A - B)

Example: Let ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4} ) and ( B = {3, 4, 5, 6} ). Then, ( A - B = {1, 2} ).

!Difference (A - B)

4. Complement (A’)
Example: Let ( U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ) be the universal set and ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4} ). Then, ( A’ = {5, 6} ).

!Complement (A’)

5. Intersection of Three Sets (A ∩ B ∩ C)

Example: Let ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4} ), ( B = {3, 4, 5, 6} ), and ( C = {4, 5, 6, 7} ). Then, ( A ∩ B ∩ C = {4} ).

!Intersection of Three Sets (A ∩ B ∩ C)

Question : What is a correlation coefficient?

Ans : A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship
between two variables. It ranges from -1 to +1, where:

• +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation: as one variable increases, the other also increases.

• -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases.

• 0 indicates no correlation: there is no linear relationship between the variables.

Types of Correlation Coefficients

1. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient ®:

o Measures the linear relationship between two continuous variables.

o Formula:

r = \frac{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})(Y_i - \bar{Y})}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})^2 \sum (Y_i - \bar{Y})^2}}

o Commonly used in statistics.

2. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (ρ or rs):

o Measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two ranked variables.

o Useful for ordinal data or non-linear relationships.

3. Kendall’s Tau:

o Measures the association between two variables based on the ranks of the data.

o Less sensitive to outliers compared to Pearson’s and Spearman’s coefficients.

Interpretation

• Positive Correlation: Both variables move in the same direction.

• Negative Correlation: Variables move in opposite directions.

• No Correlation: No predictable relationship between the variables.

Example

If you are studying the relationship between hours studied and exam scores, a high positive correlation coefficient would
indicate that more hours studied is associated with higher exam scores.

Significance Testing

To determine if the correlation coefficient is statistically significant, you can use a t-test. This helps to understand
whether the observed correlation is likely to be due to chance.

Question : Draw a Van Diagram for A ∩ B, A ∪ B, A - B, A', A ∩ B ∩ C with suitable example.Draw a Pie diagram.

Ans :

Here is the Venn diagram illustrating the set operations \( A \cap B \), \( A \cup B \), \( A - B \), \( A' \), and \( A \cap B
\cap C \). Each operation is represented visually, highlighting the respective areas of the sets A, B, and C.

Now, I can also create a pie chart for you. Could you provide the data you'd like represented in the pie diagram?

Question : define and give example of Mean Deviation, Standard Deviation, Mode, Median, variance

Ans : ### 1. **Mean Deviation (Average Absolute Deviation)**:

The **Mean Deviation** measures the average of the absolute differences between each data point and the mean of
the data set. Unlike variance and standard deviation, it does not square the differences, making it less sensitive to
extreme values.

#### Formula: \text{Mean Deviation} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} |x_i - \bar{x}|

Where:- \( n \) is the number of data points,

- \( x_i \) is each data point,

- \( \bar{x} \) is the mean.

#### Example:

For the data set \([3, 5, 8, 10]\), the mean is 6.5. The deviations from the mean are \([3.5, 1.5, 1.5, 3.5]\), so the Mean
Deviation is:

\frac{3.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 3.5}{4} = 2.5

### 2. **Standard Deviation**:

The **Standard Deviation** is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a data set. It is the square root of
the variance and is in the same units as the data.

#### Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2}

#### Example:

For the data set \([3, 5, 8, 10]\), the mean is 6.5. The squared deviations from the mean are \([12.25, 2.25, 2.25,
12.25]\). The variance is \(7.25\), so the Standard Deviation is:

\sqrt{7.25} = 2.69

### 3. **Mode**:

The **Mode** is the most frequently occurring value in a data set. It is possible to have more than one mode (bimodal,
multimodal) or no mode at all.
#### Example:

For the data set \([4, 5, 6, 4, 7, 5, 4]\), the mode is 4, since it appears the most times.

### 4. **Median**:

The **Median** is the middle value when the data points are arranged in ascending order. If the number of data points
is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

#### Example:

For the data set \([3, 5, 8, 10, 12]\), the median is 8 (the middle value). For \([3, 5, 8, 10]\), the median is:

\frac{5 + 8}{2} = 6.5

### 5. **Variance**:

The **Variance** measures the average of the squared differences from the mean. It is a measure of how spread out
the data points are around the mean.

#### Formula:

\text{Variance} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2

#### Example:

For the data set \([3, 5, 8, 10]\), the variance is 7.25, as calculated earlier.

### Summary of Example Data Set \([3, 5, 8, 10]\):

- **Mean Deviation**: 2.5

- **Standard Deviation**: 2.69

- **Mode**: No mode (all values are unique)

- **Median**: 6.5

- **Variance**: 7.25
