Answer ALL the Questions

Each question carries equal marks (5 × 10 = 50 Marks)
1. Find the mean, median and mode for the following frequency distribution. [10 M]
Age Group (in years): 20–25 25–30 30–35 35–40 40–45 45–50 50–55 55–60 60–65
No. of Members: 35 165 215 185 145 105 75 65 45

2. Calculate the mean, variance and standard deviation for the following frequency
distribution, and hence obtain the value of co-efficient of variation. [10 M]
Size (x) : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Frequency (f ): 5 8 7 12 28 20 10 7
3. Find the value of a, P (X < 3), cumulative distribution function, mean, variance and
standard deviation of the discrete random variable (X) with the following probability
distribution. [10 M]
X = x: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
p(x) = P (X = x): a 3a 5a 7a 9a 11a 13a 15a 17a
4. If the joint density for the random variables (X, Y ), where X is the unit temperature
change and Y is the proportion of spectrum shift that a certain atomic particle produces,
is given by (
cxy 2 , 0 < x < y < 1;
f (x, y) =
0, otherwise,
then find (i). the value of c, (ii). E(XY ), (iii). fX (x), (iv). fY (y) and (v). fY /X (y/x).
[10 M]
5. Compute the covariance of the following two set of measures X & Y and hence find the
coefficient of correlation between X & Y . [10 M]
X: 21 23 30 54 57 58 72 78 87 90
Y : 60 71 72 83 110 84 100 92 113 135
