PROBABILITY & PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS 1.

Of a large group of men 30% are under 165 cms and 60% are between 165 cms and 185 cms in height. Find mean and S.D. of the group of men, assuming heights are normally distributed. Given Z 0.525 1.28 Area under SNV from Z=0 0.2000 0.4000 2. In a certain locality there were 320 patients. 10 were suffering from typhoid, 12 were suffering from malaria and 2 were suffering from both. If one is selected at random. What is the probability that he is suffering either from Typhoid or malaria? 3. An insurance company insured 1500 scooter drivers, 3500 car drivers and 5000 truck drivers. The probability of an accident is 0.050, 0.02 and 0.10 respectively in case of scooter, car and truck drivers. One of the insured person meets an accident. What is the probability that he is a car driver? 4. It is observed that 80% of T.V. viewers watch Aap ki Adalat program . What is the probability that at least 80% of viewers in a random sample of 5 watch this program? 6. A.T.V. repairman finds that the time spent on his jobs has an exponential distribution with mean 30 minutes. If he repairs sets in the order in which they come in, and if the arrival of sets is approximately Poisson with an average of 10per 8 hour day. What is the repairmans expected idle time each day? How many jobs are ahead of the average set just brought in? (Unit 2) 7. It is observed that a person going to petrol pump for filling the petrol checks the air pressure of the tires of the vehicle 12% of times and checks the level of engine oil 29% of the times . It is also observed that 7% persons check both air pressure and the level of oil. i) Calculate the probability that the persons going to the petrol pump neither checks the air pressure nor the level of oil. ii) Calculate the probability that the person checks the air pressure but not the level of oil. 8. The life of battery cells supplied by company A was tested and it was found that the average life is 50 hours with a standard deviation 3 hours. It the company has supplied 1000 battery cells. i) how many of these will have life more than 55 hours. ii) how many of these will have life less than 44 hours. Given area under normal curve for (1) Z =1.67 is 0.4525 and (2) Z = 2 is 0.4772 9. The mean of binomial distribution is 4 and variance is 4/3. Find probability of getting i) no success ii) at least 5 success.

10. The incidence of a certain disease is such that on the average 20% of workers suffer from it. If 10 workers are selected at random, find the probability that more than 2 workers suffer from the disease. 11. 44% of candidates get marks 55 or less and 6% of candidates get marks 80 or more assume that the distribution is normal, find average marks and standard deviation of marks. Given Z 0.15 1.55 Area from 0.06 0.44 z = 0 to 12. There are 3 men aged 60, 65 and 70 years. The probability that to live 5 more years is 0.8 for a 60 years, 0.6 for 65 years old and 0.3 for a 70 years old person. Find the probability that at least two of the 3 person will live 5 years more.

13. The incidence of occupational disease is 80%. If 6 workers are select at random, find the probability that i) no worker contracts the disease ii) at least 2 workers contract the disease. 14. The wages of workers in a factory are normally distributed, with average wages Rs. 4000 and S.D. of wages Rs. 400. Find the highest wage lower paid 10% workers. Also find lowest wage paid to highest paid 15% of workers. Given Z Area under SNV from Z=O 1.04 0.40 1.28 0.40

15. Probability that a man will be alive 5 years hence is 0.35 and probability that his wife will be alive 5 years hence is 0.42. Find the probability that 5 years hence i) Only wife is alive. ii) Exactly one of them is alive. iii) None of them is alive. 16. A set of examination marks is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 marks & standard deviation of 5. If top 5% of the students get grade A and bottom 25% get grade F. What is the marks of lowest A and highest F. 17. A factory has two machines M1 and M2 producing the same product. M1
manufactures 60% and M2 manufactures 40% of the total production. The past experience shows 7% produced by M1 and 5% produced by M2 is defective production . At the end of days production one unit is selected at random from it and is found to be defective. What is the chance that it is produced by M1?
