February/ March 2023

Subject: Mathematics- III

Time: 3 Hours Max. Marks: 70
Note: (i) First question is compulsory and answer any four questions from the
remaining six questions. Each questions carries 14 Marks.

3. A tightly stretched flexible string has its ends fixed at 𝑥 = 0 and 𝑥 = 𝑙. At time 𝑡 = 0, the
-c

string is given a shape defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑘𝑥(𝑙 − 𝑥), where 𝑘 is a constant, and then
released. Find the displacement of any point 𝑥 of the string at any time 𝑡 > 0.

4. The probability function of a discrete random variable 𝑋 is as follows:

𝑋=𝑥 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
O

𝑃(𝑋 = 𝑥) 0 𝑘 2𝑘 2𝑘 3𝑘 𝑘 2𝑘 𝑘 + 𝑘 2 2 2

Find (i) 𝑘 (ii) 𝑃(𝑋 < 5) (iii) 𝑃(𝑋 ≥ 5) (iv) 𝑃(0 < 𝑥 < 4) and (v) the distribution function
of 𝑋.

5. a) The first three moments of a distribution about the value 5 of a variable are 2,20 and 40.
Find the mean and variance of the distribution.
b) Using the method of least squares, find a straight line of the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 that fits
the following data.
𝑥 1 2 3 4 5
𝑦 14 27 40 55 68

6. 1912 children were born in a city A in one year out of which 52.5% were male, while
2812 children were born in a city A and B both out of which proportion of male was
0.496. Is the difference in the proportion of male children in two cities significant?
