MCA FIRST YEAR FIRST SEMESTER - FIRST INTERNAL


Subject: PROBABILITY & STATISTICS

Hall Ticket No: 2138-24- 862-

• Attempt all Questions


• All Questions carry marks Max:20 MARKS
PART - A
• Fill in the Blanks ( 3 X 1 = 3 MARKS)
1. A Vector Space (V) is a no empty set containing objects or vectors.
2. A variable is called random variable when there is a chance factor associated with the various values.
3. If an estimate of the population parameter is given by a single value then the value is called Point
Estimation

• Answer all the Following Questions ( 3 X 1 = 3 MARKS)

1. Determine if W = 1 is Nul A where


-1
1
A= 2 6 4
-3 2 5
-5 -2 1

2 6 4
-3 2 5
Ans: Given A = -5 -4 1

By defi. of Nul A we have AW = 0

now consider AW = 2 6 4 1
-3 2 5 -1
-5 -4 1 1

2 -6 +4 0
-3 -2 +5 = 0
-5 +5 +1 0

: W is null space of A.

2. Define Sampling.
Ans: Sampling may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate or totality on the basis of
which a judgement or interference about aggregate or totality is made. In other words, it is the process
of obtaining information about an entire population by examining only a part of it.

3. Define mutually exclusive events.


Ans: An event is a possible outcome of an experiment or result. When two events cannot occur
simultaneously in a single trial then such events are called mutually exclusive or incompatible events.
PART - B

• Answer any Two of the Following Question (2 X 7 = 14 MARKS)

Q1.a) Explain some of the basic terminology used in probability.


Ans:Random Experiment: Random experiment refers to a situation where erratic, non specific and
arbitrary results can be obtained. If an experiment is conducted repeatedly for V number of times
under identical conditions and if the outcome of an experiment varies in each case then such
experiment is called as random experiment.EX tossing a coin.
Outcome: The result of a random experiment is referred as an outcome
Event: An event is a possible outcome of an experiment or a result of trial. Two types simple event
and compound event.
Simple Event:The probability of happening or non -happening of as single event is considered as
simple event.
Compound Event:If the joint occurrence of two or more event is considered the it is known as
compound event, composite event.
Mutually Exclusive events:when two events cannot occur simultaneously in a single trial then such
events are called as mutually exclusive
Non Mutually Exclusive event:When two events can occur simultaneously in a single trial then such
events are said to be non mutually exclusive events.
Collective Exhaustive Events: those events whose totality contains all the potential out comes of a
random experiment.

b). Explain about Random Variable and Expected value?


Ans:Random VariableA random variable is a numerical outcome of a random phenomenon. In other
words, it is a variable whose value is subject to chance. It assigns a real number to each outcome in the
sample space of a random experiment.There are two types of random variables:

1. Discrete Random Variable: This type takes on a finite or countably infinite number of distinct
values. Examples include the number of heads in 10 coin flips or the number of cars passing through a
toll booth in an hour.
2.
3. Continuous Random Variable: This type takes on any value within a given range, often resulting
from measurements. For example, the height of a person, the time it takes for a runner to complete a
race, or the temperature on a given day.

Expected Value (Mean) The expected value (also called the mean) of a random variable is a measure
of the "center" or "average" of its distribution. It represents the long-term average or the theoretical
mean of a random variable over many repetitions of an experiment.
Q2.a) State and explain Baye's Therom.
b) Explain about vector spaces and subspaces.

Q3. a) Find the coordinates of (6i,7,8i) w.r.t the basis s ={(1,0,0) (1,1,0) (1,1,1)} of c3.
b) Explain briefly about Poisson Distribution and Applications.
