Group A

Attempts any TWO questions

Distinguish between absolute and relative measure of dispersion. Two computer manufacturers A and B compete for profitable and prestigious contract. In their rivalry, each claim that their computer a consistent. For this it was decided to start execution of the same program simultaneously on 50 computers of each company and recorded the time as given below.

Time (in seconds)		0-2	2-4	4-6	6-8	8-10	10-12
Nature of computers manufactured by	A	5	16	13	7	5	4
Nature of computers manufactured by	B	2	7	12	19	9	1

Which company’s computer is more consistent?

In a certain type of metal test specimen. the effect of normal stress on a specimen is known to be functionally related to shear resistance. The following table gives the data on the two variables.

Normal stress	26	25	28	23	27	23	24	28	26
Shear Stress	22	27	24	27	23	25	26	22	21

Identify which one is response variable, and fit a simple regression line, assuming that the relationship between them is linear.
Interpret the regression coefficient with reference to your problem.
Obtain the coefficient of determination, and interpret this.
Based on the fitted model in (a), predict the shear resistance for normal stress of 30 kilogram per square centimeter .

What do you understand by binomial distribution? What are its main features?
What do you mean by marginal probability distribution? Write down its properties.
