(iv) Least value of root mean square is 6) (v) Limits for correlation coefficient are P(A B)= 3 and P(A) = (b) If P(AU B)= » find P(A) and P(B). 1 2 Hence show that A and B are independent. ©) PTO.334 2 (c)_ Out of the two lines of regression given by X +2Y -5=Qand 2X +3Y— which one is the regression line of X on Y? v Ee An incomplete frequency distribution is given as follows : Variable 10-20 ] 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 | 70-80 | Total Frequency | 12 30 ? 65 ? 25 18 229 Given that the median value is 46, determine the missing frequencies using the median formula. (6) (b) Prove that for any discrete distribution, standard deviation is not less than mean deviation from mean. 6) 3. (a) The following data give the arithmetic averages and standard deviations of three sub-groups. Calculate the arithmetic average and standard deviation of the whole group. ‘Sub- No. of ‘Average Wages Standard Deviation of group men (in Rupees) wages (in Rs.)

(a) For any two mutually exclusive events A and B and P(A U B) #0, show that P(A) @ P(AIB)=— PB) (i) P(A/A UB) = Far334 o @ © Ez (b) 3 Where B denotes event complementary to B (6) State and prove multiplication theorem of probability. 6 If the letters of the word ‘REGULATIONS? be arranged at random, what is the chance that there will be exactly four letters between R and E? (6) State Bayes’ theorem, The content of urn [, Il and III are as follows I white, 2 black and 3 red balls 2 white, 1 black and 1 red balls 4 white, 5 black and 3 red balls One urn is chosen at random and 2 balls drawn from it. They happen to be white and red, What is the probability that they come from urn J. (6) Define Karl Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (x,y) between two variables x and y. Prove that if x and y are independent, then r(x.y) = 0. Is the converse true ? Justify your answer by giving suitable example © If z= ax + by and r is the correlation coefficient between x and y, show that a2 = ao? + bo? + 2abro,o, © Prove that Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient is given by : where d, denotes the difference between the ranks of the i® individual. ©) In a trivariate distribution 207, tye t= 05 Find the partial correlation coefficient r,,, and multiple correlation coefficient Ris (6) (500)**#*
