Probability Distribution

1) A discrete random variable has the following probability distribution,


x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
P(x) k 3k 5k 7k 9k 11k 13k

(i) Find the value of k, (ii) Find P(x > 3), (iii) Find P (1 ≤ x < 4)

2) Following is the probability density function of a random variable x.


kx; 0  x  2,
2k ; 2  x  3,

f ( x)  
5k  kx; 3  x  4,
0; otherwise
(i) Find the value of k , (ii) Find P(1≤ x ≤ 3).

3) The mean and variance of a binomial distribution are 16 and 8 respectively,


Find the probability of (i) exactly 1 successes (ii) less than 2 successes (iii) at
least 2 successes.

4) If the probability of producing a defective screw is p = 0.01, what is the


probability that a lot of 100 screws will contain more than 2 defectives?
{Ans: 0.0803}

5) If X is a Poisson variate such that P(x=2) = 9P(x=4) + 90P(x=6). Find mean


of distribution and the probability for at most 2 successes.

6) The probability that on, joining engineering college, a student will


successfully complete the course of studies is 3/5. Determine the probability
that out of 5 students joining the college (i) none, (ii) all 5 and (iii) at least two
will complete the course successfully.

7) Assume that the chance of a traffic accident on a day in a street is 0.001. On


how many days out of a total of 1000 days selected can we expect (i) no
accident (ii) more than 3 accidents, if there are 500 such streets.

8) It is known that on an average 0.3 of the results obtained on a computer are


not reliable. Assuming that Poisson distribution is followed find the probability
that from total of 1000 results
i) exactly two are not reliable, ii) at the most 3 results are not reliable.
9) The distribution of typing mistakes committed by a typist is given below.
Assuming a poisson model, find out the expected frequencies.

10) The size of hats is normally distributed with mean 18.5 cms and standard
deviation of 2.5 cms. How many hats in total of 2000 will have sizes between
(i) 18 cms and 20 cms (ii) above 20 cms.
(Given : For S.N.V. z area between z = 0 to z = 0.6 is 0.2257 and z = 0 to z =
0.2 is 0.0793)

normally distributed with mean 1.9 gm and variance 0.1 gm. Find how many
envelopes weighing (i) 2 gm or more, (ii) 2.1 gm or more, can be expected in a
given packet of 1000 envelopes.
[Given: If z is the standardized normal variable, then
A(0  z  1)  0 .3413 and A( 0  z  2 )  0 .4772 ].

12) The customer accounts of a certain departmental store have an average


balance of Rs. 120 and standard deviation of Rs. 40. Assuming the distribution
of accounts balance is normal find the proportion of accounts (i) between Rs.
100 & Rs.150, (ii) below Rs.60
(Given: For S.N.V.z area between z=0 to z=0.75 is 0.2734, area between z=0 to
z=0.5 is 0.1916, area between z=0 to z=1.5 is 0.4332).8)

13) In following problems, the given An aptitude test for selecting engineers in
an industry is conducted on 100 candidates. The average score is 42 and S. D. is
24. Assuming normal distribution for the scores find the number of candidates
whose score is i) more than 60, ii) lies between 30 and 60.
(Area under S. N. V z = 0 to z = 0.75 is 0.2735 and z = 0 to z = 0.5 is 0.1915)
