1 (a) (i) Give an axiomatic definition of probability. (ii) When we roll a pair of balanced dice, what are probabilities of getting 2, 3 or 12? (b) (i) Define conditional probability. (ii) A bag contains 6 white and 9 black balls. Four balls are drawn at a time. Find the probability for the first draw to give 4 white and the second to give 4 black balls when the balls are not replaced before the second draw. 2 (a) (i) What are expectation, mean, variance and standard deviation of a probability distribution? When a random variable assume with probabilities (ii) Find the mean and variance of the uniform probability distribution given by for . (b) The probability density function of the continous random variable is given by:

axis is unity. Also find the mean of the

3 (a) The mean of binomial distribution is 3 and the variance is Find: (i) The value of . (ii) . (iii) . (b) Derive the Poisson distribution.

4 (a) Define: population, sampling, large sample, small sample, standard error, parameter and statistics.

5 (a) (i) Define an interval estimation. (ii) Write the confidence interval of known. (b) Find the degree of confidence to assert that the average salary of school teachers is between Rs. 272 and Rs. 302 if a random sample of 100 such teachers revealed a mean salary of Rs. 287 with S.D. of Rs. 48. 6 (a) In two large populations there are 30% and 25% respectively of fair haired people. Is this difference likely to be hidden in sample of 1200 and 900 respectively from the two populations? (b) A sample of 64 students have a mean weight of 70 kgs. Can this be regarded as a sample from a population with mean weight 56 kgs and standard deviation 25 kgs. 7 (a) Explain some important tests for small samples. (b) In an investigation on the machine performance the following results are obtained. No.of units inspected No.of defectives Machine 1 375 17 Machine 2 450 22 Test whether there is any significant performance of two machines at 8 (a) What is queuing problem? Derive average queue length (b) An electrician repairs items like grinder the washing machines etc and his average repair time per each unit is 20 minutes. The items are repaired in the order in which they arrive. The arrivals are Poisson and the service time follows exponential distribution. The arrival rate is 16 per an 8 hour day: (i) Determine the electricians idle time. (ii) How many units are ahead of the units just brought for repair?
