Time : 3 Hrs. Max. Marks : 100
INSTRUCTION TO CANDIDATES :
1. Attempt any FIVE questions out of EIGHT questions.
2. Each question carries TWENTY marks.
1. a) Briefly describe the inclusion and exclusion rule of probability. 10
b) One rupee coin is tossed twice. Similarly another two rupee coin is tossed thrice.
What are the probabilities of getting heads in one rupee and two rupee coins which
are tossed twice and thrice? 10
2. a) Briefly describe how the data can be presented in different forms? 8
b) What is coefficient of variation? The mean and SD of 10 observations were found to
be 65 and 8 respectively. Later on it was found that one number 70 was taken instead
of 17. Find the correct mean and SD. 7
c) What is normal curve? Briefly describe the properties of normal curve. 5
3. a) What is skewness and kurtosis? Mention their importance. 10
b) A sample of 600 factory workers has a mean PEFR 204 L/min. and SD of 46.3. Can
we assume that this sample is from a large population with a mean of 216 L/min. and
SD of 46.3? 5
c) What is paired and unpaired ?t? test? Mention their importance. 5
4. a) The weight gain (in pounds) of experimental animal fed on diet A and diet B are
given below. Test whether the two diets differ significantly as regards to their effect
on increase in weight of experimental animals. 10
Diet A: 25, 32, 30, 34, 24,14, 32, 24, 30, 31, 35, 25 (n=12)

b) A cancer screening test was carried out by a team of oncologists and a total of 300
people were screened for oral cancer. The findings were: oral cancer is present in 100,
under whom 20 gave the history of chewing tobacco; 200 people were without oral
cancer, under whom 110 gave the history of chewing tobacco. Test whether oral
cancer and tobacco chewing are associated or not? (use
2
? test). 10
