PART – B (3 * 16 = 48 Marks)
- a) State and prove Baye's theorem.
b) A problem in mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 respectively. What is the probability that the problem is solved? - a) A continuous random variable X has probability density function given by \(f(x) = \begin{cases} kx, & 0 \le x \le 2 \\ 2k, & 2 \le x \le 4 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \) Determine the value of k and calculate P(1= X =3).
b) Fit a binomial distribution to the following data:
\( \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline f & 2 & 14 & 20 & 34 & 22 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array} \) - a) A random sample of size 100 has a mean of 15 and standard deviation of 3. Find the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
b) Explain the procedure of testing of hypothesis. - a) Two independent samples of sizes 9 and 8 from two normal populations have means 16, 13 and variances 9, 3 respectively. Find whether the means are significantly different.
b) The following are the number of mistakes made in 5 successive days by 4 technicians working for a telephone company:
\( \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Technician} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline 2 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline 3 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 \\ \hline 4 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 \\ \hline 5 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\ \hline \end{array} \)--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Test whether the difference among the 4 sample means can be attributed to chance. - a) Explain the characteristics of queuing system.
b) In a railway yard, goods trains arrive at the rate of 30 trains per day. Assuming that the inter-arrival time follows an exponential distribution and the service time distribution is also exponential with an average of 36 minutes. Calculate:
(i) The mean queue size (ii) The probability that the queue size exceeds 10. - a) Explain the applications of Markov chains.
