Time : 3 Hours ‘ Maximum Marks : 100
INSTRUCTIONS:
T. Answer AIL questions. Each question carries 20 Marks.
2. Subdivisions (a)i) and (a)ii) carries 2 marks each, subdivision (b) carries 6 marks each
aid subdivision (¢) carties 10 marks each,
3. Statistical tables (Nommal table, t, chi-squate & Fables may be permitted)
1. a) i) Identify the sample space for each of the following
1@ of a transistor.
1) The experiment of measuring (in hours) the if
|) Ina random experiment of tossing a ooin three times, if we wish to obsenwe
the exact sequences of heads and tails
ii) For a Poisson variate X, if P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), lind the standard deviation of X.
b) Consider the CDF given below for a discrete random variable X to find each of the
following
0 5x<-10
0.25; -10S x < 30
0.75;30 Sx < 50
1B0Sx
F(x) =
A) Sketch the CDF.
B) Find the probability mass function pmt,
C) Whatis P(x = 35)?
¢) i) Software to detect fraud in consumer phone cards tracks the number of
metropolitan areas where calls originate each day. It is found that 1% of the
legitimate users originate calls trom two or more metropolitan areas in a single
day. However, 30% of fraudulent users originate cals from two or more
metropolitan areas in a single day. The proportion of fraudulent users is 0.01%.
1) If the same user originates calls from two or more metropolitan areas in a single
day, what is the probability that the user is fraudulent?
2) If the same user originates calls from two or more metropolitan areasin a single
day, what is the probability that the user is not fraudulent?
(OR)
il) Each time a modem transmits one bit, the receiving modem analyzes the signal
that arrives and decides whether the transmitted bit is 0 or 1. It makes an error
\with probability p, independent of whether any otherbit is recsived correctly.
1) If the transmission continues until the receiving modem makas its first error,
what is the PMF of X, the number of bits transmitted?
2) Ifthe modem transmits 100 bits, what is the PMF ol Y, the number of errors?
3) Onan average if there are 10 errs per hour , what is the PMF of Z, the
number of errors during the transmission?
4) What are E(x), EfY) and VariZ)?
