PART A (4 X 5 = 20 Marks)
Answer ALL Questions
Q.No. Sec Question Description Marks

1. A shipment of 6 television sets contains 2 defective sets. A hotel makes a random purchase 5
of 3 of the sets. If X is the number of defective sets purchased by the hotel, find the
probability distribution of X.

2. A company Insurances house in three cities J,K,L and the losses occurring in these cities are 5
independent with moment generating functions MJ(t)=(1-5t)-3, MK(t)=(1-5t)-2 and
ML(t)=(1-5t)-5. Let X represent the combined losses from the three cities, calculate E(X3)

3. For a random variable X, E(X)=10 and Var(X)=25, find the possible values of a and b such 5
that E(Y)=0 and Var(Y)=1 where Y=aX-b.

4. Let X and Y be jointly distributed with probability density function 5

K (1 xy) if x 1 , y 1
f ( x, y)
0 , otherwise

Are X and Y independent

6. The medical diagnosis of cancer follows two dimensional continuous random variable with 10
probability density function given by f ( x, y ) k (6 x y ), 0 x 2, 2 y 4 .
(i) Find the value of k
(ii) Find P( x 1/ y 3)
(iii) Find P( x y 3)
7. A coin is tossed twice. Let Z denote the number of heads on the first toss and W the total
number of heads on the 2 tosses. If the coin is unbalanced and a head has a 40% chance of
occurring, find
(a) The join probability distribution of W and Z.
(b) The marginal distribution of W.
(c) The marginal distribution of Z
(d) The probability that at least 1 head occurs.
