Group A

Attempts any TWO questions

1

What are different methods of measuring dispersion. Sample of polythene bags from two manufactures, A, B, are tested by a prospective buyer for bursting pressure and the results are as follows.

 Bursting Pressure 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35 Number of bags manufactured by A 2 9 29 54 11 5 B 9 11 18 32 27 13

Which set of bags has more uniform pressure? If price are the same, Which manufacture’s bags would be preferred by buyer? Use appropriate statistical tool

2

Write the properties of correlation coefficient. The time it takes to transmit a file always depends on the file size. Suppose you transmitted 30 files, with the average size of 126 Kbytes and the standard deviation of 35 Kbytes. The average transmitted time was 0.04 seconds with the standard deviation 0.01 seconds. The correlation coefficient between the time and size was 0.86. Based on these data, fit a linear regression model and predict the time it take to transmit a 400Kbyte file.

2. What do you mean by joint probability distribution function? Write down its properties.

Group B

The following join probability data apply to fatigue test to run on bronze strips. X represent to failure  (in 105) when alternate strips are bent at a high level of deflection. Y represent the same at a lower deflection level.

 X/Y 20 30 40 50 4 0.01 0.03 0.05 0.02 5 0.03 0.1 0.08 0.04 6 0.02 0.08 0.12 0.11 7 0.02 0.04 0.07 0.18
1. Find the marginal probability distribution for X and Y
2. Determine the conditional probability distribution of Y gives X = 5
3. Are x and Y independent
7

 X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 f 5 8 15 14 10 6 2
8

If two random variables have the joint probability density function

$$f(x, y) = \left\{\begin{matrix}k(2x + 3y), \enspace for \enspace 0 \leq x \leq 1, \enspace 0 \leq y \leq 1 \\ 0, otherwise\end{matrix}\right.$$

Find (i) constant k (ii) conditional probability density function of X (iii) Identify whether X and Y are independent.
