SECTION   C                                  

Answer any TWO questions:                                                                                    (2 X 20  =  40 Marks)

 

19.(a) Given    (ABC) = 137;   (αBC) = 261; (AβC) = 313; (ABg) = 284; (Abg) = 417; (αBg) = 420;

(αbC)  =  490; (abg)  =  508; Find the frequencies (AB), (A) and N.                       (10)

 

19.(b) )   There are 3 boxes containing respectively 1 White,2 Red, 3 block; 2 white,3 red, 1 black ball;

3 white , 1 red  and 2 black ball. A box is chosen at random and from it two balls are drawn

At random. The two balls are 1 red and 1 white. What is the probability that they come from

(i) The first box (ii) second box  (iii) third box.                                                                   (10)

 

20. (a) The customer accounts of a certain departmental store have an average balance of Rs.120 and a

standard deviation of Rs.40. Assuming that the account balances are normally distributed, find

• What proportion of accounts is over Rs.150?
• What proportion of accounts is between Rs.100 and Rs.150?
• What proportion of accounts is between Rs.60 and Rs.90 ?                                 (10)

 

20. (b) Random samples of 400 men and 600 women were asked whether they would like to have a fly-

over      near  their residence 200 men and 325 women were in favor of it. Test the equality of

proportion of men and    women in the proposal? Test at 5% level.                                       (10)

 

21.(a) The marks obtained by a group of 9 regular course students and  another group of 11 part- time

course students in a test are given below:

 

Regular	56	62	63	54	60	51	67	69	58
Part time	62	70	71	62	60	56	75	64	72	68	66

 

 

 

Examine whether the marks obtained by regular students and part time students differ significantly at

5% level.                                                                                                                                           (10)

 

 

 

21. (b) The number of defects defected in 20 items are given below

Item No     :  1   2   3    4     5    6   7    8     9    10    11     12    13    14   15   16   17    18   19   20

No. of defects:  2    0   4   1      0     0   8     1    2     0      6        0     2      1    0      3     2       1    0     2

Test whether the process is under control. Device a suitable scheme for future.                        (10)

 

22. Perform two-way ANNOVA for the data given below:

	Treatment
Plots of Land I II III	A 38 45 40	B 40 42 38	C 41 49 42	D 39 36 42

Using coding method subtracting 40 from the given number.                                                           (20)
