Q1c: Explain Binomial Distribution (2 Marks)

A binomial distribution models the number of successes in n independent trials.

Each trial has only two possible outcomes: success (p) or failure (1 − p).

The probability of exactly k successes in n trials is given by:

P (X = k) = ( )pk (1 − p)(n−k)
n
​

k

Q2a: Gauss-Markov Theorem (5 Marks)

The Gauss-Markov Theorem states that in a linear regression model, the Ordinary Least Squares
(OLS) estimator is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) under the following assumptions:
Linearity: The relationship between dependent and independent variables is linear.
Homoscedasticity: Variance of errors is constant.
No Autocorrelation: Errors are uncorrelated.
Zero Mean Error: The expectation of residuals is zero.
No Multicollinearity: Independent variables are not highly correlated.
It ensures that OLS estimators have minimum variance among all unbiased estimators.

Q1 (c) Poisson Distribution: Probability of Exactly 3 Events
We are given:

Mean λ = 4.5
Observing exactly x = 3 events
Poisson formula:

e−λ λx
P (X = x) = ​

x!
Given e−4.5 ≈ 0.0111, we substitute values:

(0.0111)(4.5)3
P (X = 3) =
3!
​

(0.0111)(91.125)

Final Answer:

P (X = 3) ≈ 0.1688

Q2 (b) Probability Distribution – Finding k , Mean, Variance, and

Probability
Step 1: Find k

The given probability distribution is:

X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
P(X) k k 2k 2k 3k k² 2k² 7k² + k

The total probability must sum to 1:

k + k + 2k + 2k + 3k + k 2 + 2k 2 + (7k 2 + k) = 1

(9k + 10k 2 ) = 1

Solving for k :

10k 2 + 9k − 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

−9 ± (9)2 − 4(10)(−1)
k=

20 20
​ ​

−9 − 11 −20
k= = = −1 (Not valid as probability cannot be negative)
20 20
​ ​

Thus, k = 0.1.

Step 2: Compute Mean E(X)

Formula:

E(X) = ∑ X ⋅ P (X)

E(X) = (0 × 0.1) + (1 × 0.1) + (2 × 0.2) + (3 × 0.2) + (4 × 0.3) + (5 × 0.01) + (6 × 0.02) + (7

= 0 + 0.1 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 1.2 + 0.05 + 0.12 + (7 × 0.17)

= 0.1 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 1.2 + 0.05 + 0.12 + 1.19

E(X) = 3.66

Step 3: Compute Variance Var(X)

Formula:

Var(X) = E(X 2 ) − [E(X)]2

First, calculate E(X 2 ):

E(X 2 ) = ∑ X 2 ⋅ P (X)

E(X 2 ) = (02 × 0.1) + (12 × 0.1) + (22 × 0.2) + (32 × 0.2) + (42 × 0.3) + (52 × 0.01) + (62 × 0.02

= (0) + (0.1) + (4 × 0.2) + (9 × 0.2) + (16 × 0.3) + (25 × 0.01) + (36 × 0.02) + (49 × 0.17)

= 0 + 0.1 + 0.8 + 1.8 + 4.8 + 0.25 + 0.72 + 8.33

E(X 2 ) = 16.8

Now, compute variance:

 Var(X) = 16.8 − (3.66)2

= 16.8 − 13.4

= 3.4

Final Answer: Var(X) = 3.4

Step 4: Compute P (0 < X < 3)

P (0 < X < 3) = P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)

= 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3

Q3 (b) Regression Equation Calculation

Given:

X 5 10 15 20 25

Y 12 22 28 36 44

Yˉ = = = 28.4
5 5
​ ​

Step 2: Compute Slope m:

ˉ )(Yi − Yˉ )
∑(Xi − X
m=
​ ​

∑(Xi − X ˉ )2
​

Using values:

(5 − 15)(12 − 28.4) + (10 − 15)(22 − 28.4) + (15 − 15)(28 − 28.4) + (20 − 15)(36 − 28.4) +
m=
(5 − 15)2 + (10 − 15)2 + (15 − 15)2 + (20 − 15)2 + (25 − 15)2

(Simplify and solve for m, then use b = Yˉ − mX

ˉ to get the final regression equation.)

Do you want me to solve any other question from the paper? 😊

there are multiple distribution techniques like, binomial, poisson, uniform, exponential, normal. in
the question it wont be given that by using which technique we have to solve, so kindly tell how to
know the technique from question

Great question! Understanding which probability distribution to use depends on key identifiers in the
problem statement. Here's how to recognize the correct technique:

1. Binomial Distribution
When to Use:

The experiment consists of a fixed number of trials (n).

Each trial has only two possible outcomes (Success/Failure, Yes/No, etc.).
The probability of success p remains constant in all trials.
The trials are independent.

Keywords in Questions:

✅ "Success or Failure," "Yes/No," "Heads/Tails," "Defective or Not Defective," "Win/Lose"

✅ "Fixed number of trials" (e.g., 10 coin flips, 20 product tests)
✅ "Find probability of exactly k successes"
Formula:

n
​

where:

n = Total trials
k = Number of successes
p = Probability of success in one trial
(1 − p) = Probability of failure

Example Question:

A factory produces 80% defect-free items. If 5 items are randomly selected, what is the probability that exactly
3 are defect-free?
✅ Fixed number of trials (n = 5), success/failure condition, constant probability → Binomial
Distribution.

2. Poisson Distribution
When to Use:

The problem deals with counting occurrences over a fixed interval (time, area, distance, etc.).
Events occur randomly and independently.
The average rate λ (mean occurrences per interval) is given.
No upper limit on the number of occurrences.

Keywords in Questions:

✅ "Number of arrivals," "calls per hour," "accidents per week," "customers per day," "errors per
page"
✅ "Find the probability of exactly k occurrences"
✅ No fixed number of trials, but an average rate λ is given
Formula:

e−λ λk
P (X = k) = ​

k!
where:

λ = Average number of occurrences

k = Exact number of occurrences
e ≈ 2.718

Example Question:

A call center receives 4 calls per hour on average. What is the probability that it receives exactly 3 calls in an
hour?
✅ Random event over time, given an average rate λ = 4 → Poisson Distribution.

The probability of an event occurring is constant over a range.

No preference or bias towards any outcome.

Keywords in Questions:

✅ "Equal probability," "random selection," "uniformly distributed"

✅ "Find the probability that X is between a and b"
Formula (Continuous Case):
b−a
P (a ≤ X ≤ b) =
B−A
​

where:

A and B are the minimum and maximum values of the distribution.

Example Question:

A random number is chosen between 1 and 10. What is the probability that it is between 3 and 7?
✅ Equal probability in a range → Uniform Distribution.

4. Exponential Distribution
When to Use:

The problem deals with time until the next event occurs.
The event occurs continuously and independently at a constant rate.
Waiting time or time between arrivals is mentioned.

Keywords in Questions:

✅ "Time until next event," "waiting time," "inter-arrival time," "lifespan before failure"
✅ "Find the probability that an event occurs within a certain time"
Formula:

P (T ≤ t) = 1 − e−λt

where:

λ = Average occurrence rate per unit time.

t = Specific time interval.

A light bulb has an average lifespan of 1000 hours. What is the probability that it fails within 500 hours?
✅ Waiting time before failure → Exponential Distribution.

5. Normal Distribution (Gaussian)

When to Use:

The data follows a bell-shaped curve (symmetrical distribution).

The question involves averages, percentages, or standard deviations.
The problem involves large samples (Central Limit Theorem).

Keywords in Questions:

Gauss-Markov Theorem: Explanation and Proof

Statement of Gauss-Markov Theorem:

The Gauss-Markov theorem states that in a linear regression model where the errors have zero
mean, constant variance (homoscedasticity), and are uncorrelated, the Ordinary Least Squares
(OLS) estimator of the regression coefficients is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE).
This means that among all linear and unbiased estimators, the OLS estimator has the minimum
variance.

Assumptions of Gauss-Markov Theorem:

The theorem holds under the classical linear regression model, which satisfies the following
assumptions:

1. Linearity: The relationship between the dependent variable Y and independent variable X is
linear.

Y i = β 0 + β 1 Xi + ϵ i
​ ​ ​ ​ ​

where β0 and β1 are the regression coefficients and ϵi are the error terms.
​ ​ ​

2. Expected Value of Errors is Zero:

E(ϵi ) = 0 ∀i
​

This means that errors are randomly distributed around zero.

3. Homoscedasticity (Constant Variance of Errors):

Var(ϵi ) = σ 2 ​ ∀i

The variance of the error terms is constant for all observations.

4. No Autocorrelation (Errors are Uncorrelated):

Cov(ϵi , ϵj ) = 0 for i =
​ ​ j

The error terms of different observations are independent of each other.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 27/29
 5. No Multicollinearity (For Multiple Regression):
If multiple independent variables are used, they should not be perfectly correlated.

Proof of Gauss-Markov Theorem:

We prove that Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimators have the minimum variance among all linear
unbiased estimators.

Step 1: Define the OLS Estimator

In a simple linear regression model:

Y i = β 0 + β 1 Xi + ϵ i
​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The OLS estimator for β1 is given by:

​

ˉ )Yi
∑(Xi − X
β^1 =
​ ​

∑(Xi − X
​ ​

ˉ )2 ​
​

Expanding Yi ​ = β 0 + β 1 Xi + ϵ i :
​ ​ ​ ​

ˉ )(β0 + β1 Xi + ϵi )
∑(Xi − X
β^1 =
​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

∑(Xi − X ˉ )2 ​
​

Since expectation is a linear operator:

ˉ )(β0 + β1 Xi ) ∑(Xi − X
∑(Xi − X ˉ )E(ϵi )
E(β^1 ) = +
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

∑(Xi − X ˉ )2 ∑(Xi − X ˉ )2 ​
​

​
​

From assumption 2, E(ϵi ) ​ = 0, so:

E(β^1 ) = β1 ​ ​ ​

Thus, β^1 is an unbiased estimator of β1 .

​ ​ ​

Step 2: Variance of OLS Estimator

Now, we calculate the variance of β^1 : ​ ​

ˉ )ϵi
∑(Xi − X
Var(β^1 ) = Var ( ˉ )2 )
​ ​

∑(Xi − X
​ ​ ​

Using assumption 3, Var(ϵi ) ​ = σ 2 , and assumption 4, Cov(ϵi , ϵj ) = 0, we get: ​ ​

σ2
Var(β^1 ) = ˉ )2
∑(Xi − X
​ ​ ​

This shows that β^1 has the minimum variance among all unbiased linear estimators.
​ ​

Step 3: Conclusion (Why OLS is BLUE)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 28/29
 Best: Minimum variance among all linear unbiased estimators.
Linear: The estimator is a linear function of Yi . ​

Unbiased: E(β^1 )​ ​ = β1 .
​

Thus, the OLS estimator is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE), proving the Gauss-Markov
theorem.

Key Takeaways

1. OLS is the best (minimum variance) linear unbiased estimator under the given assumptions.
2. Violating any assumption (e.g., heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation) may make OLS inefficient but
still unbiased.
3. If errors are normally distributed, OLS is also the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE),
making it even more powerful.
