1. The probability that a bomb dropped from a plane strike the target is 1/5. If six bomb
are dropped, find the probability that at least two will strike the target and exactly two
will strike the target. [Ans. 0.34464, 0.24576]
2. The probability that a man aged 60 years will remain alive till 70 is 0.65. what is the
probability that out of 10 such men at least t would be alive at 70? [Ans. 0.515]
3. With the usual notations, find p for a binomial variate X, if n = 6 and
9P( X = 4) = P( X = 2) . [Ans. p=1/4]
4. In a book of 520 pages, 390 typo-graphical error occur. Assuming Poisson law for the
number of errors per page, find the probability that a random sample of 5 pages will
contain no error. [Ans. e−3.75 ]
5. In a Poisson frequency distribution, frequency corresponding to 3 successes is 2/3 times
frequency corresponding to 4 successes. Find the mean and standard deviation of the
distribution. [Ans. mean=6, S.D.= 6 ]
6. If X and Y are independent Poisson variates such that P( X = 1) = P( X = 2) and
P(Y = 2) = P(Y = 3) . Find the variance of X − 2Y . [Ans. 14]
7. Assume the mean height of soldiers to be 68.22 inches with a variance of 10.8 inches.
How many soldiers in a regiment of 1000 would your expect is be over six feet tall?
(Given that  (1.15) = 0.3749 ) [Ans. 125]
8. In a normal distribution, 31% items are under 45 and 8% are over 64. What is the mean
and standard deviation of the distribution? (Given that  (1.41) = 0.42,  (0.19) = 0.50 )
[Ans. mean(  ) = 50, S.D.( ) = 10 ]
9. For a certain normal distribution, the first moment about 10 is 40 and 4th moment about
50 is 48. What is the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of the distribution?
[Ans. 50, 2]
10. A coin is tossed 12 times. Find the probability, both exactly and by fitting a normal
distribution of getting (a) 4 heads (b) at most 4 heads. (Given that
 (1.44) = 0.4251,  (0.866) = 0.051 ) [Ans (a) 0.12 (b) 0.1949]

12. Show that for 2 d.f. the probability P of a value of  2 greater than  0 2 is exp  −  0 2 
 2 
and hence that 0 = 2loge (1/ P) deduce the value of  0 when P = 0.05 . (Ans. 3.012)

13. If X has an F-distribution with m and n d.f. find the distribution of 1/X.
14. Find the variance of the t-distribution with n degrees of freedom, (n>2).
