QNS

a) With examples explain the following terms; statistics, population, varaibles, events, sample space
b) Given the data below determine the mean, standard deviation , variance and the 98th percentile

c) (i) Differentiate between independent events and mutually exclusive events

(i) Events Q and R are independent events such that P(Q n R) = 1/8 and P(Q U R) = 7/8. Find the possible
values of P(Q) and P(R)
QNS
a) Distinguish between discrete p.d.fs and continous p.d.fs (p.d.f stands for probability density funcction)
b) A random variable of a discrete p.d.f is given by

find; value of k, P(x>2), p(x=2), , E(x), var(x), standard deviation of x and P((1<x<4)/(x>3))
c)
