First Semester Construction Engineering and Management MA 7152 — STATISTICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERS (Common to M.E. Environmental Engineering, M.E. Computer Integrated Manufacturing and M.Tech. Remote Sensing) (Regulation 2013) Time : Three hours Maximum : 100 marks 10. Answer ALL questions. PART A — (10 x 2 = 20 marks) Prove that in sampling from a N(u,c*} population the sample mean is consistent estimator of y. Define the most efficient estimator. Explain Type I and Type II errors in testing of hypothesis. What do you mean by critical region and acceptance region? What is the limit for correlation coefficient? Define line of regression and regression coefficient. What are the basic principles of experimental design? Give two comparisons between RBD and LSD. Write any two properties of multivariate normal distribution. Find mean and variance of linear combination X, + X, + Xj.a: PART B — (5 x 16 = 80 marks) www.examquestionpaper.in (a) For random sampling from normal population N(u,o7), find the maximum likelihood estimators for (b) (b) @ Gi) # when o? is known o? when yw is known and (ii) The simultaneous estimation of 4 and o*. @ Gi) @ Gi) Gi) Or A sample of n independent observations is drawn from the rectangular population te, A)= FiOstS BO pce 0, elsewhere. Find M.L.E. for #. (8) Obtain the M.L.Es for @ and # for the rectangular population (8) 1 Fray Pua 15th 0, elsewhere. A machinist is expected to make engine parts with axle diameter of 1.75 cm. A random sample of 10 parts shows a mean diameter of 1.85 cm, with an SD of 0.1 cm. On the basis of the sample, would you say that the work of the machinist is inferior? (8) Two samples of sizes 9 and 8 gave the sums of squares of deviation from their respective means equal to 160 and 91 respectively. Can they be regarded as drawn from the same normal population? (8) Or The mean lifetime of a sample of 25 bulbs is found as 1550 hours, with a SD of 120 hours. The company manufacturing the bulbs claims that the avef’8e life of their bulbs is 1600 hours. Is the claim acceptable at 5% level of significance? ‘Theory predicts that the proportion of beans in 4 groups A, B, C, D should be 9: 3: 3: 1. In an experiment among 1600 beans, the numbers in the 4 groups were 882, 313, 287 and 118. Does the experiment support the theory? 2 13647 www.examquestionpaper.in13. 14, (a) (b) @ Gi) @ Gi) Calculate the correlation coefficient for the following heights in inches of fathers (X) and their Sons (¥).
