ASSIGNMENT OF MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY FOR
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT 2ND YEAR
DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS
1. A quiz has 5 multiple-choice questions. Each question has 4 answer choices, of which 1 is
correct answer and the other 3 are incorrect. Suppose that you guess all the answers.
A. How many ways are there to answer the 5 questions?
B. What is the probability of getting all 5 questions right?
C. What is the probability of getting exactly 4 questions right and 1 wrong?
D. What is the probability of doing well (getting at least 4 right)?
2. At a certain university, 4% of men are over 6 feet tall and 1% of women are over 6 feet tall.
The total student population is divided in the ratio 3:2 in favour of women.
A. What is the Probability of tall Students?
B. If a student is selected at random from among all those over six feet tall, what is the
probability that the student is a woman?
3. 120 students passed mathematics and physics exams. 30 of them failed both exams. 8 of them
failed only the math exam and 5 of them failed only the physics exam. What is the
probability that a random student:
A. passed the math exam if you know that he had failed the physics exam
B. passed the physics exam if you know that he had failed the math exam
C. passed the math exam if you know that he had passed the physics exam
4. Assume a certain item is produced by three factories (i.e., F1, F2 and F3). It is known that F1
produced twice as many items F2, and F3 produced same number of items with F2.it is also
known that 2% of the item produced by F1 and F2 are defective, while 4% of the item produced
by F3 are also defective. All the item produced are put in one Urn and one item is chosen at
random.
A. What is the probability that this item is defective?
B. Assume the item is defective, what is the probability that the item is produced by
F3?

5. Box one contains 2 white and 2 black balls and Box two contains 3 white and 2 black balls, if
one ball is transferred from box one to box two and then one ball is drawn from box two. Find
that the transferred ball was white.
6. The cumulative density function of the distribution for random variable x is
1 − 𝑒 −2𝑥 , 𝑥≥0

0 , 𝑥<0
Find: -
A. The density function of x
B. The probability that x>2
C. The probability that -3<x≤4

8. The probability function of an infinite discrete distribution is given by P(X=j) =𝟐𝒋, j=1, 2, 3…...

verify that the total probability is one. Also find P(X is even), P(X is odd), P(X≥ 3) and P(X
is divisible by 3).
