Attempt any five questions.

All questions carry equal marks.

Q.1
Unit 1

A random variable x has the following probability function. Determine k, evaluate P(x<6) and P(0≤x≤4). If P(x≤k)>(1/2) find the minimum value of k. Determine the distribution function of x. Mean.

Q.2
a)Unit 2

The density function of a random variable X is f(x)=e^(-x) when x≥0. Find E(X), E(X²) and variance of X.

b)Unit 2

Suppose a continuous random variable X has the probability density function f(x)=k(1-x²) for 0<x<1, and f(x)=0 otherwise. Find (i) k (ii) Mean (iii) Variance.

Q.3
a)Unit 4

Write down merits and demerits of measure of central tendency. Find the median for the given data.

b)Unit 3

Show that sum of two independent random variables follows normal distribution.

Q.4
a)Unit 1

State Chebyshev's inequality. If n→∞, p→0 and np=λ, then show that binomial distribution reduces to Poisson distribution.

b)Unit 4

Define regression coefficient with its properties. If X~N(μ,σ²), then show that Mₓ(t)=e^(μt+½t²σ²).

b)Unit 4

Define correlation. Explain types of correlation and method of studying correlation.

Q.8
a)Unit 4

Find Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation from the given data.
