All Questions carry equal Marks. 1 a) States the Axioms of Probability. b) What is the probability of getting two queens, if we draw two cards from a pack of 52 cards i) with replacement ii) without replacement 2 Two dice are thrown. Let X assigns to each point (a,b) in S , the maximum of its numbers ie; X(a,b) = max(a,b). Find the probability distribution. X is a random variable with X(S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Also find the mean and variance of the distribution. 3 a) If a poisson distribution is suchthat 3/2 P(X=1) = P( X=3). Find i) P(X 1) ii) P( X 3) iii) P( 2 X 5 ) b) Given that the mean heights of students in a class is 158 cms with Standard deviation of 20 Cms. Find how many students heights lies between 150 cms and 170 cms, if there are 100 students in the class. 0.2257) 4 a) Define estimate, estimator. b) The mean and standard deviation of a population are 11,795 and 14,054 respectively. If n = 50, find 95% confidence interval for the mean. (A (0.4) = 0.1554 A (0.6) = Exam Date: Duration:60 mins Max.Marks:10
