Group II (Students whose last digit of roll no. is ‘5’)

1. Define the following terms with example:

Ogive, Multiple bar diagram, Bi-variate frequency distribution & Attribute.
2. The 1st four moments of a distribution about the value 5 of the variable are 2, 20, 40
and 250. Compute the mean, variance, β1 and β2. Comment on the shape and nature of
the distribution.
3. Suppose that X and Y have a discrete joint distribution function is as follows:

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐|𝑥 + 𝑦|, 𝑥 = −2, −1,0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = −2, −1,0,1,2

= 0, 𝑥<0

Find the value of c and P(X=0 and Y=-2)

4. Let X represent the outcome when a balanced die is tossed. Find E(Y), where Y=2X2-
5.
5. A certain type of missile hits target with probability 0.3. How many missiles should
be fired so that there is at least an 80% chance of hitting a target?
