uniform population over [ 2

Obtain maximum likelihood estimator of 0.
Does a unique estimator exist ? Give
reasons.

(a) Let X be a random variable having uniform

density over (0, 1). Find
(i)

E (J),

(ii)

pdf of y = -%/TE ,

(iii) E(y) and

(iv) check whether E(y) = E (IX) or not.

(b) Develop a test for testing

_ 1X 2
H0 : f(x) = 1 e 2
co < x < 00 against
1
Hi : f(x) = 2 exp(IxI),oo<x< oo
based on a single observation drawn from
f(x). Obtain expression for size and power of
the test.

(a) The random vector (X, Y) has the joint

density function given by
'1

x2 + y 2

f(x, y) =
otherwise

0,

Then find the marginal probability density

function of X and Y. Show that cov(X, Y) = 0

but X and Y are not independent.

(b) State Bayes theorem. There are three bags

containing 2 white balls, 1 white and 1 black
ball, and 2 black balls respectively. A bag is
selected randomly and a ball is drawn. It is
found to be white. What is the probability
that remaining ball in the selected bag is
4

white ?

4.

(a) The first three moments about

, n+1
the origin are given by m1 =
2
m2 =

, n (n + 1)2
(n + 1) (2n + 1)
and m3 =

Examine the skewness of the data.

(b) A taxi cab company has two types of cabs A

and B. The number of cabs of type A and B
are 12 and 8 respectively. If 5 of these taxi
cabs are in the workshop for repairs and the
time needed for repairing each of the types is
same, what is the probability that
(i) 3 of them are of type A and 2 of them
are type B ?
(ii) at least 3 of them are of type A ?
(iii) all 5 are of same type ?

5. (a) Let X be a random variable with pdf

f x) = 0 e- ex; 0 > 0, x O.
Find the moment generating function of X,
and hence find first three moments about
origin.

(b) The following table gives the number of

aircraft accidents that occurred during six
days of the week. Find whether the accidents
are uniformly distributed over the week at
5% level of significance.

6. (a) For the data given below

X 12

10 11 13

Y 14

11 12

find :
(i)

the correlation coefficient between x

and y.

(ii) the regression equation of y on x.

(b) If X is a random variate such that E(X) = 3
and E(X2) = 13, use Chebychev's inequality
to determine a lower bound for
P ( 2 < X < 8).

7. Which of the following statements are true or

false ? Give reasons for your answer.

10

(a) For negatively skewed distribution,

Pearson's coefficient of skewness is negative.
(b) Variance is independent of change of origin
and scale.
(c) If A and B are independent events then A'
(Complement of A) is also independent of B.

(d) X1, X2, ... Xn is a random sample from a

uniform distribution with probability density
function
f(x) = 1 ,. a < x < 13
R-a
= 0,
otherwise
Then the maximum likelihood estimator of a
is min (X1, X2, ... Xn).
(e) If X has F-distribution with n1, n2 degrees of
1
freedom, then also has F-distribution
X
with same n1, n2 degrees of freedoms.
