Following is the data regarding annual nt life insurance premium. Using binomial expansion method estimate the premium at the age 30 and 45.

Let X and Y be the age and premium. The number of known values of y : n = 4, the Binomial exponsion (y – 1)4 = 0. .

y4 – 4y3 + 6y2 – 4y1+ y0 = 0 ……………(1)
By increasing sufficiences of y by T we get
y5 – 4y4 + 6y3 – 4y2 + y1 = 0 …………. (2)
From (1) 2256 – 4(1996) + 6y2 – 4(1581) +1426 = 0.
2256 – 7984 + 6y2 – 6324 + 1426 = 0 ,
6y2 – 10626 = 0
∴ y2 = Rs.1771
From (2) y5 – 4(2256) + 6(1996) -4(1771)+ 1581 =0
y5-9024 + 11976 – 7084 + 1581 =0

A tailor gets a profit of Rs. 100 from a shirt and Rs. 170 from a pant. In a week of 56 hours, he uses 36 hours for cutting and 20 hours for stitching. For cutting he requires tw0 hours for a shirt and three hours for a pant. He, requires one hour to stitch a shirt and two hours to stitch a pant, formualte L.P.P.
Consider the constraints as equalities (i.e., as equaion).
2x + 3y = 36 Co-ordinates (x, y)
put x = 0: we get y = $$\frac{36}{3}$$ = 12: (0,12) .
put y = 0; we get x = $$\frac{36}{2}$$ = 18; (18 , 0)
and x + 2y = 20
put x = 0 ; y = $$\frac{20}{0}$$ =10; (0, 10)
put y = 0; x = 20 (20 , 0)
Also x = 0, y = 0

Question 39.
For the following data fit a straight line trend and find trend values also estimate the production of 2017.

Let x and y be the year and production

Here x̄ = 2013
From the normal equaiton na + bΣx = Σy
From Σa + bΣx2 = Σxy b = $$\frac{\Sigma x y}{\Sigma x^{2}}=\frac{84}{28}=3$$
Since Σx $$\frac{\Sigma y}{n}=\frac{630}{7}$$ = 90 and
The fitted straight line trend equation is
y = a + bx : ŷ = 90 + 3x
Trend values : (2010) = 90 + 3(-3) = 81
ŷ(2011) = 90 + 3(-2) = 84.
Similarly all remaining trend values can be compated.
Estimation of production for 2017; x = 4
ŷ (2017) = 90 + 3(4) = 102 Tons.

(b) Seventy accidents that have occurred in a state in a week are tabulated as follows:

Test whether accident occurs uniformly throughtout the week.
[Given K2 = 16.81].
H0 : Accidents occur uniformly throughout the week
H1 : Accidents does not occur uniformly throughout the week…(upper tail test)
The test statistic is :

Let ‘O’ and ‘E’ be the observed and expected number of accidents.
Since accidents occur uniformly throughout the week.
Expected frequencies each is $$\frac { 70 }{ 7 }$$ = 10

∴ χ2cal= 6.8
For (n – 1) = (7 – 1) = 6 degrees of freedom at 1% level of significance, the upper tail critical value given k2= 16.81 (χ2tab)
Here χ2cal < k22cal lies on (AR-) acceptance region.
∴ H0 is accepted.
Conclusion: Accidents occur uniformly throughout the week.
