Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B.
Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A.
Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each
question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.
PART - A
5 ? 5 Marks = 25
1.a) Write the axioms of Probability.
[5]
b) Derive a formula for the mean of Binomial distribution.
[5]
c) Define one tailed and two tailed tests.
[5]
d) The standard deviations of two samples are 8 and 12, Samples sizes are 200 and
100. Find the standard error of the difference between the means and also find the
confidence interval at 0.05 level. Means of the sample are 60, 50.
[5]
e)
The Regression equations of two variables x and y are x = 0.7 y + 5.2 and
y = 0.3 x + 2.8. Find the Coefficient of Correlation and the means of x and y.
[5]
PART - B
5 ? 10 Marks = 50
2.a)
A can hit a target once in 5 shots. B can hit 2 among 3. C can hit one among 4.
What is the probability that two shots hit the target?
b)
The probability of A, B and C to become M.D's of a factory are ?, 1/3 and 5/12.
The probability that bonus scheme will be introduced if they become M.D's are
0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 Find the probability of becoming M.D's, if scheme will be
introduced.

OR
3.a)
Two dice are thrown. Let A be the event that the sum on the faces is 9. Let B be
the event that at least one number is 6. Find the probabilities of the following
events.
i) A B C ii) A C B
b)
In a certain college 25% of boys and 10% of girls are studying Mathematics.
The girls constitute 60% of the students. If a student is selected and is found to be
studying Mathematics, find the probability that the student is a i) Girl ii) boy.
[5+5]
4.a)
A die is thrown 8 times. If getting a 2 or 4 is a success, find the probability of
getting
i) 4 successes.
ii) P(x 3)
b) If the masses of 300 students are normally distributed with mean 68 kgs and
standard deviation 3kgs.How many students have masses Greater than 72 kgs.
[5+5]
OR
5.a)
Given that 2 P(x=0)=p(x=2) for a Poisson variate X. Find the Probability that
i) x 3 ii) 2 < x 5
b) The marks obtained by 1000 students is normally distributed with mean 78 % and
Standard deviation 11%. Determine how many get more than 90%.
[5+5]
6.a)
A simple sample of heights of 6400 Englishmen has a mean of 67.85 and
Standard deviation of 2.56 inches. While a simple sample of heights of 1600
Australian has a mean of 68.55 and a S.D. of 2.52 inches Test the significance
between the two mean.
b) A random sample of 400 items was taken from a population, whose standard
deviation is 10.The mean of the sample is 40. Test at 90% level whether the
sample had been drawn from a population whose mean is 38.
[5+5]
OR
7.
Random samples of 600 men and 900 women in a locality were asked whether
they would like to have a bus stop near their residence .350 men and 475 women
were in favour of the proposal. Test the significance between the difference of
two proportions at 5% level.
[10]
8.

track with the following results.
Horse A 28 30 32 33 33 29 34
Horse B 29 30 30 24 27 29
Test whether the two horses have the same running capacity at 95 % level. [10]
OR
