Assignment 3

This document contains an assignment with 5 questions related to statistics and probability theory. Question 1 asks to find the probability distribution for the number of defective laptops in a random purchase of 2 computers from a shipment of 20 where 3 are defective. Question 2 asks to find the probability distribution of the number of white balls drawn from a bag with 5 white and 3 black balls if 3 balls are drawn. Question 3 calculates an unknown parameter A in a given continuous probability density function and finds the probability for an interval. Question 4 finds probabilities related to the life length distribution of radio tubes. Question 5 calculates expected value and variance for a random variable representing daily sales, and finds the probability distribution of a related random variable.

Subject: Statistics and Probability Theory


______________________________________________________________________________

Q. No. 1. A shipment of 20 similar laptop computers to a retail outlet contains 3 that are
defective. If a school makes a random purchase of 2 of these computers, find the probability
distribution for the number of defectives.

Q. No. 2. Three balls are drawn from a bag containing 5 white and 3 black balls. If X denote the
number of white balls drawn from the bag, then find the p.d. of X.

Q. No. 3 A continuous random variable has probability density function

 A ( 4 x − 2 x 2 ) 0  x  2
f ( x) = 
 elsewhere 0

Calculate the value of an unknown A. Also find the probability for the interval ( −1  x  0.5 ) .

Q. No. 4. Suppose that the life length (in hours) of a certain radio tube is continuous random
variable X with probability density function

 100
 x  100
f ( x) =  x2
elsewhere 0

(i) What is the probability that a tube will last less than 200 hours, if it is known that the
tube is still functioning after 150 hours of service?
(ii) What is the probability that if 3 such tubes are installed in a set exactly one will have
to be replaced after 150 hours of service?
(iii) Find the distribution function for the life length of radio tubes.

Q. No. 5. Let X be a random variable showing the sales of product of 5 days with their respective
probabilities

x 1 2 3 3 5
f(x) 0.125 0.50 0.20 0.05 0.125

(i) Find the expected sales and variation in sales.


(ii) Find the p.d. of the r.v. Y=2X+1.
