Answer ALL questions.

PART A (10 x 2 = 20 marks)
1. Define probability in mathematical way.

2 P(A)= PB)=0.8; Is there any possibility of A and B mutually exclusive

events?

3. State Central limit theorem.

4 Standard error is 10; Standard deviation is 1000, then find sample size.

5 Mention any two uses of F distribution in testing of hypothesis.

6. For testing H0:Pl =P2, the pass percentages of two batches are exactly 80%
and 80%. HO is rejected or not?

7. Define RUN in run test.

8 (0-E) values are 10, -12, 16 and corresponding E values are 100, 144, 256
respectively. Find chi-square value.
9. What is importance of R squared?

10. Showthe negative correlation graphically.

Or

b) Five unbiased coins are tossed and found the number of heads. Tabulate
the probability of getting the heads 0,1,2,3,4,5 using Binomial
distribution and draw a line chart to show symmetry of the distribution.

12. (a) Students of a college in accounting course have the average grade point
82 with Standard deviation 40.

(i) The grade points follow normal probability distribution. If a student

is chosen at random what is the probability that the grade
point is less than 50?
(i1) A sample of 4 students chosen at random and sample average grade
point is calculated. What is the probability that the sample average
grade point is less than 50?
Or

was 9 hours per day. Find confidence interval of population average time
of a teen spent on video games at 95% probability when the survey was
based on
