Question 1 (Answer any three): [2X3=6]

i. A black die and a red die are rolled, find the probability of obtaining a sum greater than 9, given
that the black die results in a 5.
ii. A bag contains 4 white and 3 black balls, four balls are successively drawn out without replacement.
Find the probability that they are alternately of different colours.
iii. A random variable X has the following probability distribution:
X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
P(X) a 4a 3a 7a 8a 10a 6a 9a
a) Find the value of a.
b) Find P(X>4).
35
iv. The sum of mean and variance of a binomial distribution is 16 for 5 trials. Find the distribution.
v. A committee of 4 persons has to be cosen from 8boys and 6 girls, consisting of at least one girl. Find
the probability that the committee consists of more girls than boys.

Question 2 (Any two) [4X2=8]

i. Three persons A,B,C throw a die in succession order till one of them gets ‘six’ and wins the game. If
A starts the game , find their respective probabilities of winning.
ii. An insurance company insure 2000 scooter drivers, 4000 car drivers, 6000 truck drivers. The
probabilities of an accident involving a scooter driver, car driver and a truck driver is 0.01,0.03 and
0.15 respectively. One of the insured person meets with an accident. What is the probability that he
is a scooter driver?
iii. A die is tossed twice. Getting a number greater than 4 is considered a success. Find the mean and
the variance of the probability distribution of the number of success.

Question 3 : [1X6=6]

i. There are two bags. One bag contains 4 white and 2 black balls. Second bag contains 5 white and 4
black balls. Two balls are transferred from the first bag to second bag. Then one ball is taken from
the second bag. Find the probability that it is white.

Question 4 [3X2=6]
3
i. The total cost function for a production and marketing activity is given by, 𝐶(𝑥) = 4 𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 27.
Find the level of output for which MC=AC.
ii. Find the total and average cost functions if MC=4 − 2𝑥 + 𝑥 2 , and the fixed cost is ₹100.
iii. Out of the two regression line 𝑥 + 2𝑦 − 5 = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8 find the regression line of x on y.

Question 5 (Any one): [1X4=4]

 𝑥2
i. A radio manufacturer produces x sets per week at a total cost of ₹(25 + 3𝑥 + 100). The demand of
his product is 𝑥 = 75 − 3𝑝, where p is the price per set. Show that the maximum revenue is
obtained when about 30 sets are produce per week. What is the monopoly price?
𝑎𝑏
ii. If marginal revenue function of a firm is MR=(𝑥+𝑏)2 − 𝑐, find the total revenue , and show that 𝑝 =
𝑎
+ 𝑐, p is the demand function and a,b,c are constants.
𝑥+𝑏

Question 6 (Any one): [1X4=4]

i. The marks for seven candidates in an intelligence test and arithmetic test were as follows:
Candidates A B C D E F G
Intelligent test 30 52 60 62 45 32 41
Arithmetic test 41 62 70 78 53 45 57
Calculate karl pearson coefficient.
ii. The regression lines of y on x and x on y are respectively given as :𝑦 = 𝑥 + 5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 16𝑥 = 9𝑦 + 95. if
𝜎𝑦 = 4 , then find the value of mean of x, mean of y, 𝜎𝑦 and r.

Question 7 [6]

A gardener has a sapply of fertilizer of type 1 which contains of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric
acid and type 2 fertilizer which contains of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the
soil condition he finds that he needs at least 14 kg of nitrogen and 14kg of phosphoric acid for his
crop.if the type 1 fertilizer costs 60 paise per kg and type 2 fertilizer costs 40 pise per kg. determine
how many kilogram of each fertilizer should be used so that nutrient requirement are met at a
minimum cost. What is the minimum cost?
