Problemsheet of Module-I MATHS SEM-3

The document is a problem sheet for a Probability and Statistics course at B.P. Poddar Institute of Management & Technology. It contains various problems related to probability distributions, including Chebyshev's inequality, Poisson distribution, and calculations involving defective items and card draws. The problems require applying statistical concepts to calculate probabilities in different scenarios.

Probability and Statistics

1.Show by Chebyshev’s inequality that in 2000 throws with a coin the probability that the number of
heads lies between 900 and 1100 is at least 19/20.
2.A source of liquid contains bacteria with the average number of bacteria per c.c. equal to 3. Ten 1
c.c. test tubes are filled with liquid. Assuming the Poisson distribution is applicable calculate the
probability
(i) that all 10 test tubes growth, that is, contains at least 1 bacterium each
(ii) that exactly 7 test tubes show growth. [Given e-3=0.04975]
3. A box contains two defective and five non-defective items. If two items are selected at random
from the box, one after another, without replacement, find the probability that both the items are non-
defective. If we draw three items at random without replacement, then what would be the chance that
all of three items are non-defective?
4.Two cards are drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that there is a
king and a queen?
5.An urn contains 4 red, 1 yellow and 2 white balls. Two balls are picked up from the urn in
succession. What is the probability that the second ball is red?
6.Suppose that a newly constructed building collapsed. Obtain the probability that it is due to faulty
design, where it is given that the chance of the design being faulty is 0.05.The probability that the
building collapses if the design is faulty 0.9; and it is 0.55,otherwise.
7.In a boult factory, machines A,B and C manufacture respectively 25%,35%,and 40% of the total of
their output.5%,4% and 2% are defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product and is
found to be defective. What are the probability that is was manufactured by machines A,B,C?

8.Suppose that two fair coins are tossed. One coin is tossed twice and the other coin is tossed thrice.
Obtain the probability of obtaining a head four times altogether. Also find the probability of obtaining
a head
(i) twice on both the coins
(ii) once on first coin, thrice on second
9.A machine producing push pins produces 1 defective out of 400, on an average. If 100 push pins are
packed in each box, what are the probabilities that any given box of push pin will contain
(i) No defective
(ii) At least one defective
(iii) At most two defectives
10.In an oil exploration in the Arabian sea, suppose that the probability of an oil strike is 1 in 500
drilling. What is the probability of having exactly 1 oil producing well in 800 explorations?
11.The number of burglaries in a city is a Poisson random variable with an average of 6 per month
(assuming 30 days in a month).What is the probability that there will be 3 or more burglaries in a
day? Given e-0.2=0.8187
