Instructions:
(1) There are six questions. Each is provided with certain alternative answers, out of which one is correct.
A correct choice will fetch 5 marks.
(3) Overwriting is not allowed. Overwriting will be treated as wrong answer.
4)Any rough work should be done on the back of the inain answer book.

Q1. Let X and Y be two

independent random variables with respective moment generating functions
1
Mx(0)= ift< and My(0) = (T-587 "t<

Then find E[(X + Y)].

(B) 200 (C) 100(2 + V3) (D)None of these

2 . Let X be random variable such that E(X) = 2 and ox V3. Then, P(X25) is
(A) bounded below by .
(C) bounded below . ((B)bounded above by
(D) None of these

Q1/Transmission of information over communication channels is

done using byte (binary units).
Suppose
in communication system, '0' is with probability p and '1' is
a a
transmitted with probability 1 p.
Due
-

the noise in the communication

to
system, it is possible that a '0' transmitted can be received
as '1' with
probability a and a '1' is transmitted can be received as '0' with
probability B.
1' was received. Then the
probability that 1' was transmitted from the original source is Suppose

(A)1-a)1-p)+Bp
(C)

- p) + ap
(1-)(1-P)
B1-P) +op
(D) None of these

Q2/Let (X, Y) be a 2-diml raudom variable witl1 the

joint PDF giveu by
f(,y) = 2 for 0< z < y < 1.
Then the conditional density fx (z) is given by
(A)for0<z<y (B)for 0 <r <l
(C) for 0< <y
2y P None of these

l the hypotheses wre ho the suspect is innoceut vs ha the suspect ls guilly, then we could estimate
the probability of making a type ll error as:
(a) 15/2800
b) /140
AG 5/146
(d) None of these

Q.6 In hypothesis testing. B is the probability of committing an error of Type II. The power of the test,
l - i s then:
((a) che probability of rejecting ho wheu ha is true
Tby the probability of failiug to reject ho when ha is true
(c) the probability of failing to reject ho when ho is true
(d) none of these

Q.7 In a test of ho : # = 100 agaiust ha : t # 100, a sanple of size 10 produces a sample mean of 103
and a p-value of 0.08. Thus, at the 0.05 level of

(c) there is iusuficicnt evideuce to conclude that IL = 100.
(d) none of these

Q8. The probability of getting a parking ticket when not paying for a 2-hour period is 0.3. What is the

pay?
(a) 0.016

(a) 13.6
b) 9.6
