In the Binomial Distribution, If p, q and n are probability of success, failure and number
of trials respectively then variance is given by

Q.   9

and ‘q’ respectively and ‘n’ trials being conducted, then what is the probability that ‘x’
takes values ‘x’? Use Binomial Distribution

Q.   10

Binomial Distribution, what is its standard Deviation?

Q.   11

15 dates are selected at random, what is the probability of getting two Sundays?

Q.   12

The incidence of occupational disease in an industry is such that the workmen have a
10% chance of suffering from it. What is the probability that out of 5 workmen, 3 or
more will contract the disease?

Q.   13

Find the probability of a success for the binomial distribution satisfying the following
relation 4 P (x = 4) = P (x = 2) and having the parameter n as six.

Q.   14

Q.   19

Normal Distribution is also known as

Q.   20

Skewers of Normal distribution is

Q.   21

The shape of the normal curve depends on its

Q.   22

The value of constant ‘e’ appearing in normal distribution is

Q.   23

Q.   24

In a certain book, the frequency distribution of the number of words per page may be
taken as approximately normal with mean 800 and standard deviation 50. If three pages
are chosen at random, what is the probability that none of them has between 830 and
845 words each?

Q.   25

The distribution of 1,000 examines according to marks percentage is given below:

% Marks less than 40 40-75 75 or more Total
No. of examines 430 420 150 1000

Assuming the marks percentage to follow a normal distribution, calculate the mean and
standard deviation of marks. If not more than 300 examines are to fail, what should be
the passing marks?

Q.   26

At a petrol station, the mean quantity of petrol sold to a vehicle is 20 litres per day with
a standard deviation of 10 liters. If on a particular day, 100 vehicles took 25 or more
litres of petrol, estimate the total number of vehicles who took petrol from the station
on the day. Assume that the quantity of petrol taken from the station by a vehicle is a
normal variate.

Q.   27

Using the table areas under the standard normal curve, find the following probabilities:

Q.   30

X is a passion variate satisfying the following condition 9 P(X = 4) + 90 (X = 6) = P
(X = 2). What is the value of P (X ≤ 𝟏)?
