Assignment-02

1) The probability of a man hitting the target is ¼.


(i) If he fires 7 times, what is the probability that he hits the target:
(a) at least once,
(b) at least twice
(ii) How many times must be fired so that the probability of his hitting the target
at least once is greater than 2/3?
2) A light bulb manufacturing factory finds 3 in every 60 light bulbs defective. What is
the probability that the first defective light bulb with be found when the 6 th one is
tested?

3) A manufacturer who produces medicine bottles finds that 0.1% of the bottles are
defective. The bottles are packed in boxes, each containing 500 bottles. A drug
manufacturer buys 100 boxes from the producer of bottles. Using Poisson distribution,
find how many boxes will contain (i) no defective bottles, (ii) at least two defective
bottles. (given e−0.5 = 0.6065 ).

4) If a random variable X follows a Poisson distribution such that


P( X = 2) = 9P( X = 4) + 90P( X = 6), Find the mean and variance of X.

5) In a book of 520 pages, 390 typo-graphical errors occur. Assuming Poisson law for
the number of errors per page, find the probability that a random sample of 5 pages
will contain no error.

6) The marks obtained in a certain examination follow normal distribution with mean 45
and standard deviation 10. If 1000 students appeared at the examination, calculate the
number of students scoring.
(i) Less than 40 marks,
(ii) More than 60 marks.
[Given 𝑃 (𝑍 > 0.5) = 0.3085, 𝑃(𝑍 < −1.5) = 0.9332)]
7) The mean yield for one-acre plot is 662 kilos with a standard deviation 32 kilos.
Assuming normal distribution, how many one-acre plots in batch of 1000 plots would
you expect to have yield (i) over 700 kilos, (ii) below 650 kilos, and (iii) what is the
lowest yield of the best 100 plots? [Given 𝑃(𝑍 < 1.19) = 0.8830, 𝑃(𝑍 < −0.38) =
0.3520]
8) Calculate the coefficient of correlation between the following data:
X: 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 Y:
0.3 0.5 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.1 1.3

9) The following table gives the ages and blood pressure of 10 women:
Age(X) : 56 42 36 47 49 42 60 72 63 55
Blood Pressure(Y) : 147 125 118 128 145 140 155 160 149 150

(i) Find the correlation coefficient between X and Y.


(ii) Determine the regression equation of Y on X.
(iii) Estimate the blood pressure of a woman whose age is 45 years.
10) Regression equations of two variables X and Y are as follows:
8X - 10Y = 64 and 40X- 18Y = 320
Find (i) The means, (ii) The regression coefficients, and (iii) The coefficients of
correlation between X and Y.

11) A die is tossed 120 times and each outcome is recorded as under:
Faces :1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency : 20 22 17 18 19 24
2
Is the distribution of outcomes uniform? [Given 𝜒5,0.05 = 11.1]

12) A certain drug is claimed to be effective in curing colds. In an experiment on 500


persons with cold, half of them were given the drug and half of them were given sugar
pills. The patients’ reactions to the treatment are recorded in the following table:

Treatment Helped Reaction No effect Total


Drug 150 30 70 250
Sugar Pills 130 40 80 250
Total 280 70 150 500

On the basis of data, can it be concluded that there is a significance difference in the
effect of the drug and sugar pills? [Given 𝜒2
2,0.05= 5.99]

13) In previous years, the marks obtained in a French test by students attending Topnotch
College have been modelled satisfactorily by a normal distribution with mean of 65 and a
standard deviation of 9. Teachers in the French department at Topnotch college suspect that
this year their students are, on average, underachieving. In order to investigate this suspicion,
the teachers selected at random sample of 25 students to take the French test and found that
their mean score was 61.5. [𝑡24,0.05 = −1.712]
a) Investigate, at the 5% level of significance, the teachers’ suspicion.
b) Explain, in the context of this question, the meaning a Type I error.
14) A company has reorganised its sales department. The following data show its weekly
sales both before and after reorganisation. The period for comparison is taken from January
to march in two successive years.
Week No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Sales prior to 12 15 13 11 17 15 10 11 18 19
reorganisatio
n
Sales after to 16 17 14 13 15 14 12 11 17 22
reorganisatio
n
Can it be concluded that the reorganisation of the sales department of the company has
resulted in a significant increase in its sales. [𝑡18,0.05 = 1.734]
15) Resting heart rate is known to be 71 beats per minute on average, with a standard deviation
of 4 beats per minute. A set of researchers believe that heart rate will increase in men when
they are waiting to go in to a job interview. To test this hypothesis, a group of 9 men attending
job interviews are fitted with a wireless heart rate monitor to wear on their chest in the hour
preceding their interviews. Their average heart rates over this hour are shown in the table
below.
No. of Participant Heart rate (bmp)
participant
1 80
2 74
3 73
4 72
5 78
6 75
7 70
8 74
9 69

a) Is significant evidence to suggest heart rate increases in men while they are waiting to
attend a job interview? Conduct the test at the 5% level and interpret your result.
[𝑡8,0.05 = 1.859
