Question 12 Marks
Given $X \sim B (n, p)$. If $E ( X )=6$, and $\operatorname{Var}( X )=4.2$, find the value of $n$.
Answer

For X~ B(n, p), E(X) = np and V(X) = npq
Given that E(X) = 6 and V(X) = 4.2
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{V(X)}{E(X)}=\frac{4.2}{6} \\ & \therefore \frac{n p q}{n p}=0.7 \\ & \therefore q=0.7 \\ & \therefore p=1-q \\ & =1-0.7\end{aligned}$
= 0.3
∴ E(X) = np
= 6
⇒ n × 0.3 = 6
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow n =\frac{6}{0.3} \\ & =20\end{aligned}$

Question 32 Marks
If $X \sim B (n, p)$ and $E ( X )=6$ and $\operatorname{Var}( X )=4.2$, then find $n$ and $p$.
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & E ( X )=\text { mean }=n p \\ \therefore & n p=6 ....(1) \\ & \operatorname{Var}( X )=n p q=4.2 ....(2)\\ & \text { Dividing }(2) \text { by }(1) \\ & \frac{n p q}{n p}=\frac{4.2}{6} \\ \therefore & q=0.7=\frac{7}{10}\end{aligned}$
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore p & =1-q \\
& =1-\frac{7}{10}=\frac{3}{10}
\end{aligned}
$
From (1) : $n p=6$.
$
\therefore n \times \frac{3}{10}=6 \text {. }
$
$
\therefore n=20
$
$
\therefore p=\frac{3}{10}. n=20

Question 42 Marks
Given $X \sim B (n, p)$. If $n=10$ and $p=0.4$, find $E ( X )$ and var. (X).
Answer

Given, n = 10, p = 0.4
q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
Now, E(X) = np = 10 x 0.4 = 4 
Var(X) = npq = 10 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 2.4

Question 52 Marks
The probability that a bomb will hit a target is 0.8 . Find the probability that out of 10 bombs dropped, exactly 4 will hit the target.
Answer

Let r = no of bombs hit the target
p=0.8
q=0.2            (1-p=q)
n=10            r=4
$p(r=4)={ }^n C_r p^r q^{n-r} \quad r =0,1,2 \ldots \ldots \ldots, n$
$\begin{aligned} & ={ }^{10} C_4(0.8)^4(0.2)^6 \\ & ={ }^{10} C_4\left(\frac{8}{10}\right)^4\left(\frac{2}{10}\right)^6 \\ & =\frac{10 !}{4 ! 6 !} \times(2)^{18}\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{10} \\ & =\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7}{4 \times 3 \times 2} \times(2)^{18} \times\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{10}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & =210 \times(2)^{18} \times\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{10} \\ & =\frac{262144 \times 210}{(10)^{10}}=\frac{55050240}{(10)^{10}}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & =\text { Anti }[\log 210+18 \log 2-10] \\ & =\text { Anti }[2.3222+18 \log (0.3010)-10] \\ & =\text { Anti }(3.7402) \\ & =0.0055\end{aligned}$

Question 62 Marks
A fair coin is tossed five times. Find the probability that it shows exactly three times head.
Answer
Let $X$ be the radom variable.
let $'p\ '$ be the success and $'q\ '$ be the failure
$p=1/2, q=1/2$
$p($Coin shows $3$ heads$)$
$=p(x=3)=5c_3p^3q^2$
$= 10 (1/2)^3(1/2)^2$
$=10/32$
$=5/16$

Question 72 Marks
Given that $X \sim B (n=10, p)$, if $E ( X )=8$, find the value of $p$.
Answer

$\begin{aligned} & X \sim B(n=10, p) \\ & \therefore E(X)=n p \\ & 8=10 p \\ & p=0.8=\frac{4}{5}\end{aligned}$

Question 82 Marks
Given $X \sim B (n, p)$. If $n=10$ and $p=0.4$, find $E ( X )$ and var. $( X )$.
Answer

Given, n = 10, p = 0.4
q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
Now, E(X) = np = 10 x 0.4 = 4 
Var(X) = npq = 10 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 2.4

Question 92 Marks
Given $X \sim B (n, p)$. If $E ( X )=6$, and $\operatorname{Var}( X )=4.2$, find the value of $n$ and $p$.
Answer

Given, X ~ B (n, p) and E(X) = 6 and Var (X) = 4.2
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Now, } \frac{E(X)}{u(X)}=\frac{n p}{n p q} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{6}{4.2}=\frac{1}{q} \\ & \Rightarrow q =\frac{4.2}{6}=0.7\end{aligned}$
Since,  p + q = 1
⇒ p + 0.7 = 1
⇒ p = 0.3
Now E(X) = np
⇒ 6 = n × 0.3
$\Rightarrow n =\frac{6}{0.3}=\frac{60}{3}=20$
