State and prove Bayes theorem of probability Base A contains 5-red and 3-white marbles and box B contains 2-red and 6-white marbles if a marble is drawn from each box, what is the probability that they are both of same colour. Find the mean and variances of the uniform probability distribution given by f(x) = for x = 1,2,3,,n. If x is a continuous random variable and y=ax+b, prove that E(Y) = a E(x) + b and V(Y) = a2. (x) where stand for variance and a, b are constants. Fit a binomial distribution for the following data and compare the theoretical frequencies with the actual ones X: 0 1 2 3 4 5 F: 2 14 20 34 22 8 The marks obtained in statistics in a certain examination found to the normally distributed. If 15% of the students score 60 marks, 40% score < 30 marks, find the mean and standard deviation. ( greater or equal to, < less than). A normal population has a mean of 0.1 and standard derivation of 2.1. Find the probability that mean of a sample of size 900 will be negative. Write a short note on Chi-squared (x2) distribution giving the properties of x2distribution and sampling distribution of variances S2 in x2- distribution.

In a study of an automobile insurance a random sample of 80 body repair costs had a mean of Rs 472.36 and the S.D of Rs 62.35. If is used as a point estimate to the true average repair costs, with what confidences we can assert that the maximum error doesnt exceed Rs 10? What is the size of the smallest sample required tp estimate an unknown proportion to within a maximum error of 0.06 with at least 95% confidence? Experience had shown that 20% of a manufactured product is of the top quality. In one days production of 400 articles only 50 are of top quality. Test the hypothesis at 0.05 level. The means of two large samples of sizes 1000 and 2000 members are 67.5 inches and 68.0 inches respectively. Can the samples be regarded as drawn from the same population of S.D 2.5 inches? A random sample from a companys very extensive files shows that the orders for a certain kind of machinery were filled, respectively in 10,12,19,14,15,18,11 and 13 days. Use =0.01 LOS to test the claim that on the average such orders are filled in 10.5 days. Assume normality. Find the maximum difference that we can expect with probability 0.95 between the means of samples of sizes 10 and 12 from a normal population if their standard deviations are found to be 2 and 3 respectively. What are the characteristics of (M/M/1): ( /F1F0) or (/FCFS) model? An E- seva Kendra in a small town has only one bill receiving window with a cashier handling the cash transaction and giving receipts. He takes on average of 8 per hour and the arrivals are poisson in nature. Determine: (i) Average queue length (ii) Expected idle time of the cashier (iii) Expected time a new arrival spends in the system (iv) Expected waiting time of a new arrival before his service is started. (v)Probability that a person has to spend for at least 10min. in the system. *****
