COSM IMP

The document contains a series of important questions related to statistics and probability, including problems on normal distribution, hypothesis testing, and Markov processes. It covers calculations for means, standard deviations, and tests for significance across various scenarios. Additionally, it includes definitions and properties related to statistical concepts such as Type-I and Type-II errors, null and alternative hypotheses, and transition probability matrices.

COSM MID IMP QUESTIONS

1. The marks obtained in statistics in a certain exam are found to be normally distribute. If 15%
of the candidates score ≥ 60 marks and 40% score < 30 marks. Find the mean and standard
deviation of the marks.
2. Find the mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution in which 7% of items are under
35 and 89% are under 63.
3. A population consists of the five numbers 2, 3, 6, 8, and 11. Consider all possible samples of
size 2 that can be drawn without replacement from this population. Find (a) the mean of the
population, (b) the standard deviation of the population, (c) the mean of the sampling
distribution of means, and (d) the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means.
4. Two horses A and B were tested according to the time (in seconds) to run a particular track
with the following results. Test whether two horses have the same running capacity.

Horse A 28 30 32 33 33 29 34

Horse B 29 30 30 24 27 29 -

5. The following are the average weekly losses of worker hours due to accidents in 10
industrial plants before and after a certain safety programme was put into operation:

Before 45 73 46 124 33 57 83 34 26 17

After 36 60 44 119 35 51 77 29 24 11

Test whether the safety programme is effective in reducing the number of accidents at
the level of significance of 0.05?

puts out 3 imperfect articles in a batch of 100. Has the machine improved? Test at 5% LOS

7. In a city A 20% of a random sample of 900 school boys had a certain slight physical defect.
In another city B 18.5% of a random sample of 1600 school boys had the same defect. Is the
difference between the proportions is significant at 0.05 LOS
8. Three boys A,B,C are throwing a ball to each other. A always throws the ball to B and B
always throws the ball to C, but C is just as likely to throw the ball to B as to A. Show that the
process is markovian. Find the transition matrix and classify the states are ergodic.

0.12 0.88
revealed the following transition probability matrix ( ). Find the percentage of
0.54 0.46
letters in the textbook which are expected to be vowels.

0.4 0.3 0.3
P = ( 0.8 0.1 0.1)And initial market shares are 50%, 25% ,25%. Find
0.35 0.25 0.4

(0.2 0.3 0.5)

0 1 0
P=( 0 2/3 1/3)
1/16 15/16 0
