1A random variable has following probability function
xo [2 (3 [4 [5 [8]?
P(x) | 0 k 2k 2k | 3k ee 2k? Tk+k
Find i) k i) P(X<6) iii)P(0 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. Determine (k (ii)F (x)
7. Two dice are thrown. Let X assign to each point (a,b) in S the maximum of its numbers. (i.e.)X (a, b)
= max: (a,b). Find the probability distribution. x is a random variable with X(S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6}.Find the
mean and variance and also calculate P(1< x < 6).
8. A sample of 4 items is selected at random from a box containing 12 items of which Sare defective
Find the Expected number E of defective items.
9.The probabilities that student 8,0 solve a problem are2,2,4,t respectively. allot them try
554
to solve the problem, what are the probabilities that the problem is solved?
10. Three balls are drawn at random without replacement from a box containing 2 white, 3 red and 4
black balls. IfX denotes the number of white balls drawn and Y denotes the number of red balls drawn,
find the joint probability distribution of (X, ¥). Also compute the marginal and conditional distributions
of X and Y. Check whether the random variables X and ¥ are independent or not.

7.if X,Y are random variables variances o? = 2,07 = 4 & covariance 0, = —2 then find
the variance of random variable Z = 3x — 4y +8,
8, Use Chebyshev’s Theorem , a Random variable X has mean = 8 & variance a? = 9
for a probability distribution ,
Then find (i) p(-4
