Mathematics-III (MA-201), August-December, 2022

1. A random variable X has the following probability function:

Values 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
of X,
k 3k 5k 7k 9k 11k 13k 15k 17k

(i) Determine the value of k.


(ii) Find , , and .
(iii) Find the distribution function of X?

2. A continuous random variable X has the distribution function:

Find (i) k and (ii) the probability density function.

3. A random variable X has the probability density function:

Determine k and the distribution function. Evaluate the probability

4. In a binomial distribution consisting of 5 independent trials, probabilities of 1 and 2


successes are 0.4096 and 0.2048 respectively. Find the parameter ‘p’ of the
distribution.
5. A fair coin is tossed 6 times. Find the probability of getting (a) exactly 2 heads (b) at
least four heads (c) no heads (d) at least one head.
6. The mean and variance of binomial distribution are 4 and 4/3 respectively. Find

7. In sampling a large number of parts manufactured by a machine, the mean number of


defectives in a sample of 20 is 2. Out of 1000 such samples, how many would be
expected to contain at least 3 defective parts?
8. Suppose 300 misprints are distributed randomly throughout a book of 500 pages. Find
the probability P that a given page contains (i) exactly two misprints (ii) two or more
misprints.
9. 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.
10. Given that the probability of an accident in an industry is 0.005 and assuming the
accidents are independent (a) determine the probability that in any given period of
400 days, there will be an accident one day? (b) What is the probability that there are
at most three days with an accident?
11. X is a normal variate with mean 30 and standard deviation 5. Find the probabilities
that (i) , (ii) , and (iii)
12. Suppose that the average life span of computers produced by a company is 2040
hours with standard deviation of 60 hours. Find the expected number of computers
whose life span is (a) more than 2150 hours (b) less than 1950 hours (c) more than
1920 hours and less than 2160 hours; from a pool of 2000 computers assuming that
the life span X is normally distributed.
13. A sample of 100 items is taken at random from a batch known to contain 40%
defectives. What is the probability that the sample contains (i) at least 44 defectives,
(ii) exactly 44 defectives?
