Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks

1.a) If a sample of size 35 had been taken from a population with standard deviation
12, then find the maximum error of the mean with 95% confidence.
b) The maximum error with 99% confidence is 0.2 and the sample is drawn from a
population whose standard deviation is 2. Find the sample size.

2.a) A company claims that its light bulbs are superior to those of the competitor. If a
study showed that a sample of 40 0f its bulbs have a mean life time of 647hrs of
continuous use with a Standard deviation of 27 hours. While a sample of 40 bulbs
made by its main competitor had a mean life time of 638hours of continuous use
with a S.D of 31 hours. Test the significance between the differences of the two
means at5% LOS.
b) A die was thrown 9000 times and of those 3220 yielded a 3 or 4. Is this consistent
with the hypothesis that the die was unbiased?

3.a) A bag contains 10 white and 6 black balls. Four balls are drawn successively.
Find the probability that they are alternatively of different colors,
i) Without replacement ii) with replacement.
b) A Businessman goes to hotels X, Y, Z, 20%, 50%, 30% of the times respectively.
It is known that 5%, 4%, 8% of the rooms in X, Y, Z hotels have faulty TV sets.
What is the probability that businessmans room having faulty TV set is in the
hotel Z.

4.a) The probability that a man hit a target is 1/3. If he fires 6 times find the
probability that he fires
i) At most 5 times ii) exactly two times iii) at least two times.
b) In a test on electrical bulbs, it was found that the life of a particular make is
normally distributed with an average life time of 2040 hours and Standard
deviation of 40 hours. Estimate the number of bulbs likely to burn for more than
2140 hours in a sample of 2000 bulbs.

5.a) A random sample of 400 items is found to have mean of 82 and standard
deviation of 18. Find 95% confidence limits for the mean of the population from
which the sample is drawn.
b) A normal population has mean of 0.1 and S. D of 2.1. Find the probability that the
mean of the sample of 900 members will be negative.

6.a) A random sample of 100 teachers in a large metropolitan area revealed a mean
weakly salary of Rs.487 with a standard deviation of Rs.48.With what degree of
confidence can we assert that the average weekly salary of all teachers in the
metropolitan area is between 472 to 502.
b) In a study of an automobile insurance a random sample of 80 body repair costs
had a mean of Rs.472.36 and S.D of Rs.62.35.If x is used as a point estimate to
the true average repair costs, with what confidence we can assert that the
maximum error does not exceed Rs.10?

7. Two independent samples 8 items and 7 items respectively had the following
values.
Sample-I 11 11 13 11 15 9 12 14
Sample-II 9 11 10 13 9 8 10 --
Is the difference between means of the samples significant?

8.a) Calculate the Coefficient of correlation between age of cars and annual
maintenance and comment.
Age of cars(years) 2 4 6 7 8 10 12
Annual maintenance cost (rupees) 1600 1500 1800 1900 1700 2100 2000

b) Determine the regression lines of Y on X and X on Y from the data given below.
X 10 12 13 16 17 20 25
Y 10 22 24 27 29 33 37
