student.
9. The students may call to the instructors, if there is any difficulty in attaching and sending
the answer sheets.

Note: Attempt all 25 questions. The questions carry 2 marks.

Q1 What is a Statistical error? Explain the difference between biased and 2
 unbiased error.

Q3 In what circumstances would you consider the arithmetic mean, the 2

geometric mean and harmonic mean respectively, the most suitable statistics

to describe the central tendency of distribution?

Q4 Calculate the mean deviation from mean and median from the marks of 2

students given as 65, 60, 56, 74, 64, 67, 76, and 58. Compare these two mean

deviations.

Q5 From asset of ungrouped values the following sums are found: n=15, 2

 x  480 ,  x 2
 15735 .Find the coefficient of variation.

Q6 In a moderately skewed distribution the Pearson‘s coefficient of skewness = 2

-0.6, mean=65 and median=70. Find the mode

Q7 The standard deviation of a symmetrical and mesokurtic distribution is 2

4.Find its first four moments about mean.

Q8 Explain what is meant by random experiment. Define impossible event and 2

sure events.

Q9 A random sample of 400 people are interviewed independently to a given 2

proposition and X the number supporting the proposition is recorded.

Suppose that only 20% of the population support the proposition. Find 

and  2 .

Q10 A computer system in a company has a breakdown once in 25 days, on the 2

 average. What is the probability of more than one breakdown in the next 10

days?

Q11 Five dice are thrown together 243 times. Find the expected frequencies when 2

throwing of a 5 or 6 is regarded as success.

Q12 Of the kings in a deck of cards, 3 have two eye and one has one eye. A 2

thirteen card hand is dealt from a well –shuffled deck. Find the probability of

at most one two eyed king using hyper geometric distribution.

Q13 If a person receives 5 calls on the average during a day, find the expected 2

number of days the person received 3 calls in next 100 days.

Q14 A coin is tossed thrice. Find the probability of throwing head and tail 2

alternately in3 successive trials.

Q15 A fair die is tossed. Find the probability that the outcome is either an even 2

number or square.

Q16 State the conditions under which the Poisson distribution approximates to the 2

binomial distribution.

Q17 Assume that the distance X that a particular athlete will be able to put a shot 2

is normally distributed with mean 50 and variance 25 feet. Compute the

probability that his tosses travels between 55 feet and 60 feet.

Q18 In a normal distribution lower and upper quartile are 8 and 17. Find mean 2

and standard deviation of the normal distribution.

Q19 The value of second moment about mean in a normal distribution is 4. Find 2
 the third and fourth moment about mean in the normal distribution.

Q20 If X is a normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 10. Find 2

the mean deviation (M.D).

Q21 Two dice are tossed. Let E1 denote the event of an odd total, E2 the event of 2

an ace on the first die. Are E1 and E2 are independent?

Q22 What is meant by correlation also explain the simple linear regression 2

equation.

Q23 From n pairs of values the following quantity are calculated n=20, 2

 x  400 ,  y  220 ,  x 2
 880 , y 2
 2620 ,  xy  4300 . find
the linear regression equation of x on y.

Q24 If byx =-0.125 and bxy = -0.5 estimate correlation coefficient. 2

Q25 Write any two properties of regression line. 2
