Time: 1 hour Marks:30

PART A

(Answer any three questions. Each question carries 5 marks)

1. The joint probability distribution of X and Y is given by

( ) . Find the conditional distribution of Y for X=x. (CO1)

2. If are Poisson variables with parameter use Central Limit

Theorem to estimate ( ) where (CO1)

3. If and are independent binomial random variables with parameters ( ) and

( ) respectively , find ( ) (CO1)

4. Given the joint probability distribution function of ( ) as

( ) {

Find the marginal and conditional probability density functions of and (CO1)
PART B

(Answer any three questions. Each question carries 5 marks)

5. Consider a random process ( ) ( ) where A and are independent and

uniform random variables over ( ) and ( ) respectively. Find the mean and
autocorrelation function of ( ) (CO2)
6. A radioactive source emits particles at the rate of 6 per minute in a Poisson process.

Each emitted particle has a probability of of being recorded. Find the probability

that at least 4 particles are recorded in a 5 minute period. (CO2)

7. Suppose that customers arrive at a bank according to a Poisson process with mean
rate of 3 per minute. Find the probability that during a time interval of 2 minutes (i)
exactly 4 customers arrive and (ii) more than 4 customers arrive (CO2)
8. If ( ) ( ), where are constants and is uniformly distributed in ( ),

prove that the process ( ) is correlation ergodic. (CO2)
