Tutorial - 5

Q1. The diameter (X) of the bolts manufactured in a production shop honours the following
probability density function:

fx(x) = a(x – 0.9) (1.1 – x) for 0.9 <x<1.1

=0 elsewhere

Perform the following tasks:

 Compute a, and derive an expression for the Probability distribution function.

 Compute the probability of X falling in the range (0.95 to 1.08) invoking
 Compute E(X) and Var(X).

Q2. The observed values of a random variable (X) are as follows:

11.5 10 13.5 11 9 7
11.5 10.5 13.0 9.5 6 7.5
8.5 8.5 7.0 6 18 10
11.5 11.5 11.5 5.5 9.5 2.5
14.0 20 10.5 15 15.5 7.5
15.0 9 8.0 14 10 6.5
10.0 13 5.0 7.5 16.5 8.5
3.5 12.5 5.0 6.5 11.5 1.5
9.0 14.5 6.0 7.5 7 10
9.5 18 9.5 9.5 11.5 6
0 8 5.5 9 6 8
7.5 6 7.5 6.5 12 7.5
15.5 7.5 9.5 9 6 9
17 6 5.5 7 8.5
10 9 10.5 8 7.5
9.5 13.5 8.5 9.5 6
9 9 4.5 11.5 8
5 12 1 7 10.5
5.5 8.5 12.5 5 8
14 11.5 12 0 16.5

Using Chi-Square Test, determine, whether X follows normal distribution or not.
