over 64 find the Mean and variance of distribution
PO2
OR
6 a A box contains 10 white and 3 black balls, while another box CO3 PO1, 7M
contains 3 white and 5 black balls. Two balls are drawn from the first
box and put into the second box and then a ball is drawn from it PO2
calculate the probability that it is a white ball?

{
1 PO2
f ( x )= 2
( x+ 1 ) ;−1< x< 1
0 ; Elsewhere
Find coefficient of skewness and kurtosis
UNIT - IV
7 a A population consists of the five numbers 3, 6, 9, 15 and 27. CO4 PO1, 7M
Consider all possible samples of size 2 that can be drawn without
replacement from this population. PO2
Find (i)The mean of the sampling distribution of means
ii) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means
b A random sample of size 81 was taken whose variance is 20.25 and CO4 PO1, 7M
means is 32,construct 98% confidence interval
PO2
OR
8 a Discus the following (i) Unbiased estimation. (ii)Point CO4 PO1, 7M
estimation (iii) Interval estimation.
PO2
b The mean of certain normal population is equal to the CO4 PO1, 7M
standard error of the mean of the samples of 64 from
that distribution. Find the probability that the mean of PO2
the sample size 36 will be negative.

UNIT - V
9 a In a big City 325 men out of 600 men were found to be smokers. CO5 PO1, 7M
Does this information support the conclusion that the majority of the PO2
men in this city aresmokers?

b Analysis of a random sample consisting of n1 = 20 specimens of cold- CO5 PO1, 7M

rolled steel to determine yield strengths resulted in a sample average
strength of x = 29.8ksi.A second random sample of n2 = 25 two sided PO2
galvanized steel specimens gave a sample average strength of y =
34.7ksi. Assuming that the two yield strength distributions are
normal with σ 1= 4.0 and σ 2 = 5.0.does the data indicate that the
corresponding true average yield strengths µ1and µ2 are different?
Let’s carryout a test significance level α = 0.01
OR
10 a A random of 10 boys had the following I.Q’s 70, 120, 110, 101, 88, CO5 PO1, 7M
 83, 95, 98, 107 and 100. Do the data support the assumption of
population means I.Q of 100.Test at 5% level of significance?
PO2
b The means of two single large samples of 1000 and 2000 members CO5 PO1, 7M
are 67.5 inches and 68.0 inches respectively. Can the samples be
regarded as drawn from the same population of standard deviation PO2
2.5 inches? (Test at 5%LOS).
