Ques 1. Calculate the standard deviation and variance for the following table giving the age
distribution of 542 members of the house of commons.
Age 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80
No. of 3 61 132 153 140 512
members

Ques 2. A student is to match three historical events (Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday, India's
freedom, and First World War) with three years· (I.947, 1914, 1896). If he guesses with no
knowledge of 'the correct answers, what is the probability distribution of the number of answers
he gets correctly?
Ques 3. Determine the probability mass function of X from the following cumulative
distribution function.
𝟎 𝒙 < −𝟐
𝟎. 𝟐 −𝟐≤𝒙<𝟎
𝑭(𝒙) = {𝟎. 𝟕 𝟎≤𝒙<𝟐
𝟏 𝟐≤𝒙

Ques 4. A fair coin is tossed twice. Let X be defined as the no. of heads shown. Find the
possible values for random variable “X” and its probability mass function PX.
Ques 5. Let the continuous random variable X denote the current measured in a thin copper
wire in milliampere. Assume that the range of X is [0,20], and assume that the probability
density function of X is defined as
0.05, 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 20
𝑓(𝑥) = {
0, 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑒
What is the probability that a measurement of current is between 5 and 10 milliampere.
Ques 6. Suppose that the recycle times of two cameras are recorded. Consider only whether or
not the cameras conform to the manufacturing specifications. We abbreviate yes as “y” and no
as “n”. construct the sample space.
Ques 7. The amount of bread x (in hundreds of pounds) that a certain bakery is able to sell in
a day is found to be a numerical valued random phenomenon, with a probability function
specified by the probability density function f (x) is given by
𝐴𝑥, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 ≤ 𝑥 < 10
𝑓(𝑥) = {𝐴(20 − 𝑥), 𝑓𝑜𝑟 10 ≤ 𝑥 < 20
0, 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑒
(a) Find the value of A.
(b) What is the probability that the number of pounds of bread that will be sold tomorrow is
(i) More than 10 pounds,
(ii) Less than 10 pounds, and
(iii) Between 5 and 15 pounds?
Ques 8. Write a sample space for the following event: a die is rolled, and a coin is tossed.
Ques 9. Find the mode and the median for the following distribution:
Variable 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30
frequency 2 5 7 13 21 16

Ques 10. A random variable X has the following probability function:
