1 MTH302 Quiz # 4 Solved By konenuchiha@gmail.com When a coin is tossed once, the probability of getting head is (1/2) 0.51 Suppose the slope of regression line is 20 and the intercept is 9, then the equation of regression line will be y - 20x +9 = 0 y +20x -9 = 0 y -20x -9 = 0 (y=9+20x) y +20x +9 = 0 What is probability of r or more successes when m=7;r= successive binomial trials are assumed to be Independent Dependent May be independent

2 In the regression line The point (Xbar, Yabr) lies on the regression line The point (Xbar, Yabr) doesn t lies on the regression line The point (Xbar,Yabr) lies on origion always A scatterplot of a correlation of.10 would look straight line. circle. square ellipse The sum of all probabilties for any poisson density function is always The probability of successes can be less than 0 or greater than 1. True False

3 In scatter diagram, clustering of points around a straight line indicates a) Linear regression b) Non-linear regression c) Curvilinear linear regression d) Both (a) and (b) Evaluate 30! / 28!. (! means factorial) Equation of line having slope 0 and passing through the point A (0, 0) is X =0 Y= X Y=0 X-1= 0 What is the value of nc0? (C for combination) n 0 1.

4 The slope of the regression line may be Positive Negative Zero All of these The mathematical equation describing the liner relation is Y = a + bx Y = x Y = a + bx^2+c Y = C The probability of "success" p is equals to q 1-q 1+q If an event A is a proper subset of an event B then Probability of the event B is less than the event A A is equals the event B A is less than the event B he moving averages can be used for mode forecasting purposes

5 Middle value. Median Which of these numbers cannot be a probability? An arrangement of all or some of a set of objects in a definite order is called Combination Permutation What is the value of 5C5? (C for combination) Regression line always passes through Mean of data Median of data Both i. & ii. None Question # 2 of 10 ( Start time: 10:55:09 PM ) Total Marks: 1 Evaluate 13C4? 615

6 % of the electric bulbs manufactured by a company are defective. What is the probability that a bulb selected will not be defective? 90% 88% 80% 85% If the equation of regression line is y = 5, then what result will you take out from it? The line passes through origin. The line passes through (5, 0) The line is parallel to y-axis. The line is parallel to x-axis. The equation of the least squares line is x What is the predicted value of y when x = 1,000? Which of the following can be best fit for the prediction of the vehicles arriving at their destination in 2 hours?

7 Binomial Distribution Normal Distribution Poisson Distribution Chi-Square Distribution The correct formula for AND rule is P(A and B)= P(A) P(B) P(A and B)= P(A)-P(B) P(A and B)= P(A) + P(B) A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting head on first toss and tail on second toss? ½ 1/3 ¼ Which of the following is applicable to a Poisson Distribution? It is used to compute the probability of rare events. Every event is independent of every other event. The range for the number of events that could occur is 0,1,2,3,... all of given choices. he moving average CANNOT be used for one of the followings. Time Series Variation Smoothing Operation Short-term fluctuations Standard Deviations

8 When a dice is rolled then outcomes on the face of the dice (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are mutually exclusive. True False If the mean & standard deviation on an examination are 74 & 12 respectively and the standard scores is z= -1 then the grade x is Equation of line having slope 0 and passing through the point A (0, 1) is Y =1 Y-1= X X=1 X-1= 2(Y+1) Which of the following formula is correct? =BINOMDIST( 7, 4, 0.5, FALSE ) =BINOMDIST( -4, 7, 1.5, FALSE ) =BINOMDIST( 4, -7, 1.5, FALSE ) =BINOMDIST( 4, 7, 0.5, FALSE ) Probability of occurrence of an event A = (Where X=Number of outcomes favorable to event A and n=total number of outcomes) nx n/x

S=3, A =1, T =3, I =2, C = 1 Formula npr = n!/n1!n2!..nk! = 10!/3!1!3!2!1! = !/3!3!2! = There are 5 Rock songs, 6 Carnatic songs and 3 Indian pop songs. How many different albums can be formed using the above repertoire if the albums should contain at least 1 Rock song and 1 Carnatic song? Suppose the slope of regression line is and the intercept is 1.56, then the equation of regression line will be y 1.56 = x y = x y x = y 16.36x = 1.56 When a dice is rolled then outcomes on the face of the dice (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are mutually exclusive.

True false Which of the following is NOT applicable to a Poisson distribution? It is used to compute the probability of rare events. Every event is independent of every other event. The range for the number of events that could occur is 0,1,2,3,...
