12. Check whether the following data is consistent:

N = 900,   (A) = 210,     (B) = 300,        (C) = 420,        (AB) = 150,     (AC) = 175

15. If X has the p.d.f.    f (x)  =     3 (1 – x)² , 0 < x <1, 0 elsewhere ,

find E (X) and V (X).

16. (a) Write any two applications of Poisson distribution.

• If P(X = 2) = 3 P (X = 4) + 2 P (X = 6), find mean, standard deviation and variance of X.                                                                                   (2+6)

17. In a large city A, 20% of a random sample of 900 school children had defective eye sight. In other large city B, 15% of a random sample of 1600 children had the same effect.  Is the difference between the two proportions significant?  Test at 5% significance level.
18. A certain stimulus administered to each of the 12 patients resulted in the following increase of blood pressure:

5,  2,  8,  -1,  3,  0,  -2,  1,  5,  0,  4 and 6

Can it be concluded that the stimulus will, in general, be accompanied by an increase in blood pressure?  Use 1% significance level.   (t – table value is 1.80)

PART – C

Answer any Two questions.                                                       (2 x 20 = 40 Marks)

19. (a) When two attributes A and B are said to be independent?

(b)  Given the following data, find the remaining class frequencies:

N   = 25713  ,  (A)   = 1618   (B)  = 2015

(C) = 770      , (AB) = 587,   (AC)  =  428

(BC) = 335   ,  (ABC) =  156                                                  (2 + 18)

20. (a) If X is a normal variate with mean 30 and standard deviation 5,  find the probability that (i) 26 < X < 40,           (ii)  X > 45      (iii)    |X – 30|    > 5

(b)    In a distribution exactly normal, 10.03% of the items are under 25 kilogram weight and 89.97% of the items are under 70 kilogram weight.  What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution?   (10+10)

21. The following table gives quality rating of service stations by five professional raters:

SERVICE STATION

RATER           1         2         3         4         5         6         7         8         9         10

A                        99        70        90        99        65        85        75        70        85        92
