When A and B are 2 mutually exclusive events, are the values P(A)=0.6 and P(ANB)=0.5 consistent? Why? 2. Acontinuous random variable X has a density function given by f(x) =k(L+x) Qexc 0 for |x|3/x> Or 12. 13.

Yf the moments of a random variable ‘K’ are defined by E(X")=0.6; r=1,2,3, Show that P(X =0)=0.4, P(X =1)=0.6, P(X 22)=0. A machine manufacturing screws is known to produce 5% defective. Ina random sample of 15 screws, what is the probability that there are (1) exactly 3 defectives, (2) not more than 3 defectives. A die is cast until 6 appears. What is the probability that it must be cast more than 5 times? Or If X is uniformly distributed over (-a, a), @>0, find @ so that @ PR >y=t (2) P(X|<1) = P(X|>1). Assume that mean height of soldiers to be 68.22 inches with a variance of 10.8 inches. How many soldiers in a regiment of 1000 would you expect to be over 6 feet tall?
