    BUSINESS STATISTICS -- II

    THEORETICAL DISTRIBUTIONS
    Problems on Binomial Distribution

    1. The probability of happening of an event in an experiment is 0.4. Find the probability of


    happening of the event atleast once if the experiment is repeated 3 times under similar
    conditions.

    2. The incidence of a certain disease is such that on an average 20 % of workers suffer


    from it. If 10 workers are selected at random, find the probability that (i) Exactly 2
    workers suffer from the disease (ii) Not more than 2 workers suffer from the disease.

    3. The occupational hazard in an industry is such that the workers have a 20 % chance of
    facing it. What is the probability that out of 6 workers, 4 or more will face the hazard.

    4. If the chance that a vessel arrives safely at a post is 9/10, find the chance that out of 5
    vessels expected, atleast 4 will arrive safely.

    5. An oil exploration firm finds that 50 % of the test wells it drills yields a deposit of Natural
    gas, if it drills 6 wells, find the probability that atleast one well will yield gas.

    6. The probability that a bomb dropped from a plane strikes its target is 1/5. Find the
    probability that out of 6 bombs dropped, atleast 3 bombs strike the target.

    7. Find the probability that in a family of 5 children, there will be (i) atleast one boy (ii)
    atleast one boy and one girl, assume that the probability of a female birth is ½.

    8. If 20 % of bolts produced by a machine are defective, determine the probability that out
    of 4 bolts chosen at random (a) 1 (b) 0 (c) atmost 2 bolts will be defective.

    9. A bag of 100 bulbs from a manufacturing company is known to contain 10 defective


    bulbs. If a sample of 6 bulbs is selected at random, what is the probability that there is
    atleast one defective bulb.

    10. In a binomial distribution, n = 5 and q = 0.4. Find variance of the distirbution.

    11. Find the mean of a binomial distribution given n = 20 and q = 0.75.

    12. Find the binomial distribution whose mean is 9 variance being 2.25.

    13. Find out the fallacy, if any, in the following statements :


    (i) For a binomial distribution, the mean is 4 and its SD is root 5.
    (ii) For a binomial distribution, the mean is 7 and its SD is root 8.
    (iii) The mean of a binomial distribution is 4 and its SD is 3.
    (iv) The mean of a binomial distribution is 4 and variance is 3.
    (v) The mean of binomial distribution is 10 and its SD is 4.
    -2-

    14. Is there any consistency in the statement, “the mean of binomial distribution is 40 and
    its standard deviation 4”. If no inconsistency is found, what shall be the values of p, q
    and n ?

    15. The mean of a binomial distribution is 20 and standard deviation 4. Calculate n,p and
    q.

    16. A binomial distribution has n = 20 and p = 0.3. Find the mean and variance of this
    distribution.

    17. Fit a binomial distribution to the following data :


    X : 0 1 2 3 4
    F : 28 62 46 10 4

    18. Five fair coins were tossed 100 times. From the following outcomes, calculate expected
    frequencies.
    No. Of heads up : 0 1 2 3 4 5
    Observed Frequencies : 2 10 24 35 18 8
