The p.m.f is –

(a) p (box contains defective fuses)
= p(x ≥ l) = 1-p(x< 1) = 1-p (x = 0)
$$=1-\frac{\mathrm{e}^{-4} 4^{0}}{0 !}$$
= 1 – 01832 = 0.9816

(b) p (2 or more defective fuses)
= p(x ≥ 2)

p (x) =ncx px qn – x; x = 0,1,2, …… n

Theoretical frequency = Tx = p [x] x N.
∴ T0 = p[x = 0] x 128

∴ T0 =4

∴ The theoritical frequency distribution of numbers heads is –

[Note: Since the coin unbiased t le frequncies are symmetrically distributee •]

Question 2.
7 fair coins are tossed 384 times. Find the expected frequencies of the number of heads obtained.
Let x be the number of heads obtained is a binomial variate with the parameters n = 7 and N = 384. Since the coin is fair.
Therefore P = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ and q = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
The p.m.f is : P(x) = ncx px qn – x; x = 0,1,2, …… n
7cx0.5x0.57 – x; x = 0,1,2, …… 7
Theoretical / expected frequency : Tx = P(x) × N
To = P(x = 0) x 384
= 7C0(0.5)0(0.5)7-0 × 384
T0 = 3

The expected frequencies of the number of distribution of heads is:

Question 3.
Fit a binomial distribution for the following data and obtain the expected frequencies.

Here x is the number of defectives is a Binomial variate with n = 5. The parameter p can be obtained as below.
We know that mean = X̄ = np = \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{fx}}{\mathrm{N}}=\frac{100}{50} = 2 [ from the frequency distribution]
i.e 5p = 2. ∴ p = 0.4 ∴ q = 0.6
The p.m.f is –
P(x) = ncx px qn-x; x = 0,1,2, …… n
= 5cx (0.4)x (0.6)5-x ; x = 0,1,2, …….. 5
Theoretical/Expected frequency = Tx= p[x] × N.
∴ Tx = p[x = 0] x 50
= 5C0 (0.4)0 (0.6)5-0 × 50 = 1 × 1 × 0.07776 × 50 T0 =3.88
T0 = 3.88

The fitted observed and theoritical frequency distribution is: (Approximated)

Question 4.
The following table gives the number of deaths per day in a hospital for 400 days. Fit a poisson distribution and obtain the theoritical frequencies for the data.
Let x be the number of deaths per day is a poisson variate, the parameter λ can be obtained as:
Let f be the number of days, then we know that

Theoretical frequncy = Tx = p(x) × N.
∴ T0 = p(x = 0) × 400.
= $$\frac{\mathrm{e}^{-16}(1.6)^{0}}{0 !}$$ × 400 = 0.2019 × 400= 80.76

T(7 or more) = N – [ T0 + T1 + T2 +…. + T6 ]
= 400 – [80.76 + 129.22.103.38 + 55.14 + 22.06 + 7.06 + 1.88]
= 400 – 399.5
= 0.5
∴ The fitted observed and theoretical frequency distribution is:

Question 5.

Let x be poisson variate, then the paramter λ can be obtained as :-

The p.m.f is

The theoritical frequency Tx = p(x) × N
∴ T0 = p(x = 0) × 100

∴ T0 = 33.29

∴ The fitted observed and theoretical frequency distribution is Approx

Question 6.
If the height of 500 soldiers are found to be normally distributed with mean 70” and standard deviation 12”, find the number of soldiers whose heights are (/) below 56″ (JI) above 73″ («7) between 66″ and 73″.
Let x be the height of soldiers is a Normal variate with meari μ = 70″ and SD = σ = 12″, then

(i) p (height is below 56″) = p(x < 56)

= p (Z ← 1.17)
= Area from (-1.17) to (-∞) – Area from 0 to (-1.17)
= 0.5-0.3790
= 0.1210
∴ The number of soldiers whose height is below 56″
= p (x < 56) × N
= 0.1210 × 500
= 60.5 ≅ 61 soldiers 19

(ii) p (height is above 73″) = p(x > 73)

= p (Z > 0.25)
= Area from 0.25 to ∞.
= Area from 0 to ∞ – Area from 0 to 0.25
= 0.5 – 0.0987 = 0.4013.
∴The number of soldiers whose height is above 73″
= p (x > 73) × N
=0.4013 × 500
= 200.65 ≅ 201 soldiers.

(iii) p (height is between 66″ and 73″) = p(66 < x < 73)

p(-0.33 < Z < 0.25)
= Area from (0.33) to (0.25)
= Area from 0 to 0 to (-0.33) – Area from 0 to (0.25)
= 0.1293 + 0.0987
p (66 < x < 73) = 0.228.
∴ The number of students whose height is between 66″ and 73″
= p (66 < x < 73)× N
= 0.228 × 500
= 114 soldiers.

Question 7.
Heights of 2000 soldiers are normally distributed with mean 160 cms and standard deviation 5 cms. Find the number of soldiers with height.
(i) less than 155 cms
(ii) between 160 cms and 165 cms
(iii) more than 170 cms.
Let X be the heights of soldiers is a normal variate with the parameters mean m = 160 and S.D. s = 5, then S.N.V,

(i) Numbcr of soldiers with height less than 155 ems.
=P(x < 55) × 2o00

=P(Z < -1) × 2000
= Area from (-1) to (-∞) × 2000
= Area from 0 to (-∞) – Area from 0 to (-1) × 2000
=0.5 – 0.3413 – 0.1587 × 2000
=317.4

(ii) P(height between 160 and 165 cms)
= P(160 < X < 165)

=P(0 < Z < 1)
= Area between 0 to 1
= Areafrom 0 to 1
= 0.3413
Number of soldeirs with height between 160 & 165 cms.
= 0.3413 × 2000= 682.6

(iii) P(hcight more than 170 ems)

= P(Z> 2)
= Area from 2 to ∞
=Area from 0 to ∞ – Areafrom 0 to 2
= 0.5 – 0.4772
= 0.0228
Number of soldiers whose height is more than 170 ems = 0.0228 × 2000 = 45.6.

Question 8.
The weekly wages of 1000 workmen are normally distrbuted around a mean of Rs.70 and with standard deviation of Rs.5. Estimate the number of workers whose weekly wages wil be: (i) Between Rs. 69 and Rs. 72, (ii) more than Rs.75.
Let x be the weekly wages is a normal variate with mean µ= 70 and SD σ = 51, given
N = 1000. then SNV,

(i) p (wage is between Rs. 69 and Rs. 72)
= p (69 < x < 72)

= p (-0.2 < Z < 0.4)
= Area from (0.2) to (0.4)
= Area from 0 to (-0.2) + Area from 0 to (0.4)
= 0.0793 + 0.1554
= 0.2347
∴ The number of workers whose weekly wages is between Rs. 69 and Rs. 72
= p (69 < x < 72) × N
= 0.2347 × 1000 = 234.7 ~ 235 workers

(ii) p (wage is more than Rs. 75)
= p (x >75)

= p(z > 1)
= Area from 0 to ∞ – Area from 0 to 1
= 0.5-0.3413 = 0.1587
∴ The number of workers whose weekly wage is more than Rs. 75
= p(x >75) × N = 0.1587 × 1000
= 158.7 ≅ 159 workers.

Question 9.
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by the candidates in a competitive examination are 50 and 15 respectively. If 1200 candidates appear for the examination find:
(i) The number of candidates who are expected to score more than 70 marks.
(ii) The expected number of candidates who score between 58 and 80 marks:
Let x be the marks obtained in an examination is a normal variate with the parameters mean
µ = 50 and SD = σ = 15. Given N = 1200 then SNV,

(i) p (marks more than 70)
= p(x> 70)

= p (z > 1.33)
= Area from 1.33 to ∞.
= Area from 0 to ∞ – Area from 0 to (1.33)
= 0.5 – 0.4082
∴ The number of candidates who are expected to score more than 70 marks
= p (x > 70) × N
= 0.0918 × 1200
= 110.16 ~ 110 candidates.

(ii) p (marks between 58 and 50)
p(58 < x < 80)

= p(0.53 < Z Z < 2)
= Area from O to 2
Area from 0 to 2 – Area from Oto 0.53
= 0.4772 – 0.2019
= 0.2753
= 0.2753
∴ Expected number of candidates who score between 58 and 80 marks
= p (58 < x < 80) × N.
= 0.2753 × 1200
= 330.36 ~ 330 candidates.
