3.a) For a binomial distribution, the mean is 6 and standard deviation is 2. Find the first two
terms of the distribution.

b) The moment generating function of a Poisson random variable X is given by
𝑡
MX(t) = 𝑒 3(𝑒 −1) . Find P(X = 1). [8+8]
4. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means of

300 random samples each of size 36 are drawn from a population of size 1500 which is
normally distributed with mean 22.4 and standard deviation 0.048, if sampling is done

a) with replacement and b) without replacement. [16]
5.a) Construct 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of computer literates if 47 out
20
of 150 persons from rural areas are computer literates.
b) In a study conducted for 500 days, only on 4 days it was recorded that ‘lead’ content in a
famous river exceeded 200mg/cm. Construct an upper 99% confidence limit for the
probability that the ‘lead’ content in the river will exceed 200mg/cm on any one day.

6.a) Discuss the test of significance procedure.
b) A briefcase manufacturing company claims that 80% of executives carried briefcases
produced by them. Verify its claims if in a random sample of 900 executives, 675 used
M
the company’s briefcases. Use 5% level of significance. [8+8]
7.a) Write the conditions of validity of 2-test.
b) In 1950 in India the mean life expectancy was 50 years. If the life expectancies from a
random sample of 11 persons are 58.2, 56.6, 54.2, 50.4, 44.2, 61.9, 57.5, 53.4, 49.7, 55.4,
57.0. Does it confirm the expected view? [8+8]
8. In a colour T.V. manufacturing plant, a loading unit takes exactly 10 minutes to load 2
T.V. sets into a wagon and again comes back to the position to another set of T.V. If the

arrival rate is 2 T.V. sets per 20 minutes. Calculate the average time of T.V. sets in a
stationary state. [16]
