Group III (Students whose last digit of roll no. is ‘0’)

1 Explain arithmetic mean with example. Enumerate the properties of arithmetic mean
as measure of central tendency? What are the advantage & disadvantage of other
measures of central tendency?
2. A well-balanced die is rolled. If the number of spots showing is less than 4, you collect
Tk. 1. If it shows 3 or more, you lose Tk. 6. What is your expected gain from this game?
3. A frequency distribution is of the form:
Frequency 2 4 8 4 2
Class Interval 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25
Compute 1st four central moments, Skewness and kurtosis and comment the shape and
nature of the distribution.

4. A certain type of missile hits target with probability 0.4. How many missiles should
be fired so that there is at least an 70% chance of hitting a target?
5. 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).
