ASSIGNMENT (UNIT-I), PAPER CODE: DA-304T


PAPER TITLE: Statistics, Statistical Modelling and Data Analysis

CO1: Ability to learn and understand the basic concepts about statis-
tics, visualisation and probability.

Q1. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation of the
following dataset:

Marks 0-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41-50


Number of students 2 7 11 6 1

Q2. Elaborate the need of data visualisation. Why do we need it in statistical


analysis? Discuss various ways through which it can be done.

Q3. Three students A, B and C are running in a race. A and B have same
probability of winning and each is twice as likely to win as C. Find the
probability that B or C wins.

Q4. The amount of time (in hours) that a computer functions before breaking
down is a continuous random variable with probability density function given
by
(
λe−x/100 , x ≥ 0,
f (x) =
0, x < 0.

What is the probability that the computer will function between 50 and 150
hours before breaking down?

Q5. In sampling large number of parts manufactured by a machine, the mean


number of defective parts in a sample of 20 is 2. Out of 1000 such samples,
how many would be expected to contain at least 3 defective parts.

Q6. A firm produces electric bulbs that have burning life normally distributed
with mean 800 hours and standard deviation 40 hours. Find the probability
that a random sample of 16 bulbs will have average burning life of less than
775 hours.

Q7. A sample of 100 bars is said to be drawn from a large sample of bars whose
lengths are normally distributed with mean 4 feet and S.D. 0.6 feet. If the
sample mean is 4.2 feet, can the sample be regarded as a truly random
sample?

Q8. In a year there are 956 births in a town A of which 52.5% were males, while
in town A and B combined, this proportion in total of 1406 births was 0.496.
Is there any significant difference in the proportion of male births in the two
towns?

Q9. Define chi-square test as goodness of fit. A random table of 250 digits showed
the following distribution of digits 0, 1, 2, · · · , 9:

Digit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Observed frequency 17 31 29 18 14 20 35 30 20 36
Expected frequency 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25

Does the observed distribution differ significantly from expected distribution


at a significance level of 1%?

Q10. Which distribution is used to test for the equality of two population vari-
ances? Measurements on the length of a copper wire were taken in two
experiments A and B as under
A’s measurements (mm): 12.29, 12.25, 11.86, 12.13, 12.44, 12.78, 12.77,
11.90, 12.47.
B’s measurements (mm): 12.39, 12.46, 12.34, 12.22, 11.98, 12.46, 12.23,
12.06.
Test whether B’s measurements are more accurate than A’s.
