2. a) The joint density for the random variables(X,Y) where X is the unit temperature change and Y is the [10]
proportion of spectrum shift that a certain atomic particle produces, is
i) Find the marginal densities fX(x), fY(y) and the conditional densities f(y/x), f(x/y)
ii) Find the probability that the spectrum shifts more than half of the total observations, given that
the temperature is increased to 0.25 unit.
b) The joint probability mass function of (X,Y) is given by p(x, y) = k(2x + 3y), x = 0,1,2 ; y = 1,2,3. [10]
Find all the marginal and conditional probability distributions.
3. a) The heights of a sample of 10 fathers and their eldest sons are given below (to the nearest cm) [10]
Height of father(X) 170 165 167 162 163 167 166 169 164 171

i) Compute the correlation coefficient rXY

iii) Estimate the height of son given that height of the father is 160.

common taste in beauty?

4. a) A research scientist reports that mice will live an average of 40 months when their diets are sharply [10]
restricted and then enriched with vitamins and proteins. Assuming that the lifetimes of such mice
are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 6.3 months, find the probability that a given
mouse will live
i) More than 32 months ii) Less than 28 months iii) Between37 and 49 months.
b) If the service life, in years, of a semiconductor is a random variable having a Weibull distribution [10]
with the parameters α = 0.5 and β = 2. (i) How long can such a semiconductor be expected to last?
(ii) What is the probability that such a semiconductor will still be in operating after 2 years?
5. a) In a random sample of 500 persons from Maharashtra, 400 are found to be consumers of vegetable [10]
oil and in another sample of 600 persons from Gujarat, 400 are found to be consumers of vegetable
oil. Test at 5% level of significance whether the data reveal a significant difference between
Maharashtra and Gujarat so far as the proportion of vegetable oil consumers concerned?
b) In a certain factory, there are two independent processes for manufacturing the same item. The [10]
mean weight in a sample of 100 items produced from one process is found to be 72.4 gms with a
standard deviation of 14.8 gms, while from another process are 73.9 and 17.9 in a sample of 200
items. Is the difference between the mean weights significant at 1% level of significance?

Winter 28 29 31 32
Monsoon 26 28 29 29
Determine whether
i) there is any difference in average sales made by the four salesman
ii) the sales differ with respect to different seasons.
7. a) i) A one year guarantee is given based on the assumption that no more than 10% of the items will be [4]
returned. Assuming an exponential distribution, what is the maximum failure rate that can be
tolerated?
ii) For a system having Weibull failure distribution with a shape parameter of 1.4 and a scale
[6]
