1. A random variable X has the following probability distribution

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
P(x) 0 k 2k 2k 3k k2 2k2 7k2+ k
Find (i) the value of k (ii) P(x < 5) and P (1 < x < 6) (iii) the distribution function of X.
(iv)Mean and Variance of X.

2. A company finds that the time taken by one of its engineers to complete or repair a job
has a normal distribution with mean 40 minutes and standard deviation 5 minutes. State
what proportion of jobs take: (a). Less than 35 minutes (b). More than 48 minutes (c). The
company charges Rs. 20 if the job takes less than 35 minutes, Rs. 40 if it takes between 35
and 48 minutes and Rs. 70 if it takes more than 48 minutes. Find the average charge for a
repair job.
3. The joint probability function of the RV (𝑋, 𝑌) is given by 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = ,0 < 𝑥 <
2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2 < 𝑦 < 4. Find the correlation coefficient of X and Y.

4. A random sample of size 100 is taken from a population whose mean is 60 and the variance
is 400. Using Central limit Theorem with what probability can we assert that the mean of
the sample will not differ from µ = 60 by more than 4?

5. A man either drives a car or catches a train to go to office each day. He never goes 2 days
in a row by train, but if he drives one day, then the next day he is just as likely to drive
again as he is to travel by train. Now suppose that on the first day of the week, the man
tossed a fair die and drove to work if and only if a 6 appeared. Find (i) the probability that
he takes a train on the third day (ii) the probability he went by car to work in the long run.
