The weight of a cement bag is known to follow a Normal Distribution with mean value and standard deviation 0.2 kg. A cement bag is 'under weight' if its weight is 49.7 kg or less. Suppose in a day, out of 10,000 cement bags produced, 62 bags are found to be of 'under weight'. What is the value of ? A. 50.1 kg B. 50.0 kg C. 49.2 kg D. 50.2 kg(*) E. 50.3 kg

2. One of your seniors while doing a summer project compiled data on the readership of the daily Asian Age. He estimated that the probability that the reader is a man given that the reader is at least 30 years old is 0.2. He also estimated that the probability that the reader is male given that the reader is under 30 years, is 0.60. If the probability that a reader is under 30 is 0.80, what is the probability that a reader is male? A. 0.50 B. 0.52(*) C. 0.40 D. 0.60 E. none of these

3. For two events A and B connected with an experiment, it is found that the probability of event A given event B is 0.8 and that the probability of event A is 0.9. We can conclude that events A and B are A. mutually exclusive B. collectively exhaustive C. statistically dependent (*) D. statistically independent E. none of these 4. Suppose we take random sample of size n=25 from a normal distribution with mean 10 and standard deviation 5. If samples of size 25 are taken repeatedly 100 times, how many of these samples would you expect to have a sample average between 8 and 9? (correct up to the nearest integer) A. 14(*) B. 48 C. 63 D. 36 E. none of these

5. A roadways company is involved with moving cargo from Mysore to Bangalore everyday. Assume that each truck makes exactly one trip each day. They have 10 trucks and from past experience it is found that the trucks move with full load 70% of the time and with half load 30% of the time. A full load truck will fetch the company a revenue of Rs. 5,000 and half load truck will fetch the company Rs. 2,000. What is the expected revenue per day? A. Rs. 40,000 B. Rs.41,000 (*) C. Rs.35,000 D. Rs. 32,000 E. none of these

The z score for 0.2 is -0.8416 The z score for 0.9 is 1.2816 We have two equations -0.8416 = (3 - )/ 1.2816 = (8 - )/ -0.8416 + = 3 1.2816 + = 8 Subtract the first equation from the second 2.1232 = 5

 = 2.354935946 Substitute into the first equation -0.8416(2.354935946) + = 3 = 3 + 0.8416(2.354935946) = 4.981914092
