BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE PILANI K K BIRLA GOA CAMPUS ‘Comprehensive Examination (Second Semester, 2018-19 )(Closed book) Course title: Probability and Statisties (MATH F113) Date: 10.05.2019 (Friday) ‘Time: 80 min. Part-A, Max. Marks : 30 Instructions: (1) There are 15 multiple choice questions. Each is provided with 4 alternative, out ‘of which one is correct. ‘A correct choice will award 2 marks. (2) Write the correct choice A, B, C or D in the table given in this question paper with pen only ‘and submit it to the invigilator. Do not encircle (©) or tick / on question paper itself. (8) In case anyone writes/scribbles on question paper, 5 marks will surely be deducted. (4) Answering in pencil and overwriting will be treated invalid. (8) Any rough work should be done at the back of the main answer sheet. Student's Name: 1D Now wos [Mora | Xhoss | Moana | Zoaser | Zoosss | Zoe | Zoos Teo] 1 poss | 45 [1 [20d [143108 Ques no.

If F is the cdf of any random variable, then which of the following statement is not true (A) F is nondecreasing (B) F is right continuous (C) F has at most countable number of discontinuous point (D)Ane of these 6. A microliter of normal human blood contains on average about 7000 white blood cells and 5 million red blood cells, as well as platelets, plasma, and other matter. In a diluted blood sample, distributed in hundreds of test tubes, it was observed that about 1% of the test tubes contained no white blood cells. What is the mean number of white blood cells per test tube? (Ayo ee ©5 7. Let X be a random variable with P(X = -1) = 15, P(X = 0) = 4, P(X = 0 <@<1.
