Basic Statistics Assignment

Work out all the questions which is to be submitted on final exam date of the course.

1. If the permutation of the word WHITE is selected at random, how many of the
permutations
i. Begins with a consonant?
ii. Ends with a vowel?
iii. Has a consonant and vowels alternating?
2. Out of 5 Mathematician and 7 Statistician a committee consisting of 2 Mathematician
and 3 Statistician is to be formed. In how many ways this can be done if
a. There is no restriction
b. One particular Statistician should be included
c. Two particular Mathematicians can not be included on the committee.
3. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is widely used by graduate school
of business as an entrance requirement. In one particular year, the mean score for the
GMAT was 485, with a standard deviation of 105. assuming that GMAT scores are
normally distributed, what is the probability that a randomly selected score from this
administration of the GMAT:
a. Falls between 600 and the mean, inclusive?
b. Is greater than 650?
c. Is less than 300?
d. Falls between 350 and 550, inclusive?
e. Is less than 700?
f. Is exactly 500?
g. If 500 applicants take the test, how many would you expect to score 590 or
below?
4. Suppose that a random variable X is a continuous given by

a) Is the fuction a pdf? Why? x2

b) Find CDF of f(x)
c) Calculate mean and standard deviation of X
d) Find P(X<1/2)
1 2
e) Find P(X<1/ <X< )
3 3
5. The probability distribution of X , the number of imperfections per 10 meters of a
synthetic fabric is given by

x 0 1 2 3 4
f(x
c 2c 2c c c
)
a. Find c such that f is a probability mass function?

 b. Compute the the mean and the standard deviation of imperfections for 10 meters of
this synthetic fabric.

6. If a voltage emitted though certain electric cable is assumed to be continuous random

variable with the following probability density function
f(x) = cx(1-x) , 0<x<1
0, other wise

Then compute the following:

A) The value of c that makes f(x) pdf of a given random variable
B) P(x<3/4)
C) The expected value of X and the variance of X
7. The mean life of a sample of 100 tires taken from the lot is found to be 500kms. Past
experience shows that the standard deviation for life of tires in the lot is 80kms. (5 pt)
A. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean life of tire in the lot is expected
to lie?
B. Test the mean life of tires in the lot as 512.5kms is true?
(At 5% level of significance, Z0.025=1.96, Z0.05=1.64, t0.025,99=1.9845, t0.05,99=1.67).
8. The following summary results are obtained from price and demand of a commodity
∑price=30 ∑demand=40 ∑(price)(demand)=214
∑(price)2=220 ∑(demand)2=340 n=5
a. Identify the dependent and independent variable.
b. Estimate the regression equation.
c. Calculate and interpret the estimated coefficients.
d. Calculate the correlation coefficient between price and demand, and interpret it.
e. Find the coefficient of determination and interpret it.
