and N (x; 45, 9) respectively. If the bulb is to be used for 45-hours period, which bulb is
to be preferred? If it is to be used for 48-hours period, which bulb is to be preferred?

The intelligence quotients (IQ) of 16 students from B.Tech. IInd year showed a mean of
107 and a standard deviation of 10, while the IQs of 14 students from B.Tech. Ist year
showed a mean of 112 and a standard deviation of 8. Is there a significant difference
between the IQs of the two groups at significance level of 0.05? Given that critical value
at 28 degree of freedom with 5% level of significance is 2.05.

(b) In a multiple choice examination, there are 20 questions. Each question has four
alternative answers following it and the student must select the one correct answer.
Four marks are given for the correct answer and one marks in deducted for every
wrong answer. A student must secure at least 50% of maximum possible marks to
pass the examination. Suppose that a student has not studied at all so that he decides
to select the answers to the questions on a random basis. What is the probability that
he will pass in the examination.






NOTE : Disclosure of identity by writing mobile number or making passing request on any

page of Answer sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
