STATISTICS
(Statistical Methods)
Optional Paper—I
Time : Three Hours] [Maximum Marks : 50
Note :— All questions are compulsory and carry equal marks.

1. (A) Define :
(i) Joint p.m.f.
(ii) Marginal p.m.f.
(iii) Conditional p.m.f.
(iv) Conditional mean
(v) Conditional variance, of a discrete bivariate probability distribution.
If the joint probability distribution of r.vs X and Y is given by :

1 x = 0, 1, 2, 3
 ( x + y) ,
p( x , y) =  30 y = 0, 1, 2
0 , elsewhere
Write the bivariate probability table.
Find :
(i) Marginal probability distribution of X
(ii) Conditional distribution of Y given X = 0
(iii) Conditional mean of Y given X = 0
(iv) Conditional variance of Y given X = 0. 10
OR
(E) Define :
(i) Bivariate c.d.f.
(ii) Bivariate m.g.f.
(iii) Stochastic independence of two random variables.
If the r.vs X and y are independent show that Cov(X, Y) = 0. Is the converse true ? Justify.
The fraction X of male runners and the fraction Y of female runners who complete in marathon
races are described by the joint density function :

8xy , 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < x


f ( x , y) = 
0 , elsewhere
Find :
(i) Marginal densities of random variables X and Y

2. (A) Derive p.m.f. of Trinomial distribution. Also find marginal p.m.f. of variables. Are the
variables stochastically independent ? Justify. Suppose that the probabilities are 0.4, 0.3 and
0.3 that a State Income Tax Return will be filled out correctly, that it will contain only errors
favouring the State, or that it will contain only errors favouring the tax payers. What is the
probability that among 12 such Income Tax returns randomly chosen for audit, five will be
filled out correctly, four will contain only errors favouring tax payer, three will contain only
errors favouring the State ? 10
OR
(E) State m.g.f. of Bivariate normal distribution for a pair of r.vs (X, Y). Hence find E(X), E(Y),
V(X), V(Y). Also find Cov(X, Y) and correlation coefficient between X and Y. 10
3. (A) If the random variable X has standard normal distribution, find the p.d.f. of :
(i) Y = X 1/3
(ii) Z = |X|.
(B) If X1 and X2 are independent exponential variables with parameter θ = 1, find the p.d.f. of
Y = X1 + X2, using m.g.f. technique. Identify the distribution of Y with parameters. 5+5
OR
(E) If X and Y are independent chisquare variables with n1 and n2 d.f. respectively, find the joint

 x1x 2
 , x1 = 1, 2 ; x 2 = 1, 2, 3
f ( x , y) =  18
 0 , elsewhere

Find the probability distribution of the random variable Y = X1X2. 5+5

distribution. Also find mode of chisquare distribution. 10
OR
(E) Define t-statistic. State its p.d.f. Derive expression for even ordered central moments. Hence find
variance of t distribution. Show that all odd ordered raw moments of chisquare distribution are
zero. 10
5. Solve any TEN of the following :
(A) Define F-Statistic.
(B) State p.d.f. of F distribution.
(C) Comment on skewness of F distribution.
(D) Define correlation coefficient and state its limits.

(F) Find Cov(X + a, Y + b) if a and b are constants.
(G) State m.g.f. of Trinomial Distribution.
(H) State the conditional p.d.f. of Y given X = x if (X, Y) ~ Bivariate normal distribution.
