JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD B.Tech II STATISTICAL METHODS FOR DATA SCIENCE Previous Question Paper (August/September - 2022 - R18)
Answer any five questions. All questions carry equal marks.
Main
A coin is tossed until a head appears. Expect the number of tosses required?
Answer
Let X be the random variable representing the number of tosses required to get the first head. This follows a geometric distribution with probability of success p = 0.5. The probability mass function is P(X = k) = (1 - p)^(k-1) * p for k = 1, 2, 3, ...
The expected value E[X] for a geometric distribution is given by the formula:
Substituting p = 0.5:
Therefore, the expected number of tosses required to obtain the first head is 2.
Let X be a random variable with the density function
Answer
The moment generating function (MGF) M_X(t) is defined as the expected value of e^(tX), given by the integral:
Given f(x) = x for 0 < x < 1, the integral becomes:
Using integration by parts, where u = x and dv = e^(tx) dx, we have du = dx and v = (1/t) * e^(tx):
Simplifying the expression:
This expression holds for t ≠ 0. For t = 0, M_X(0) = 1.
Explain Binomial distribution. Derive its moment generating function and hence find its mean and variance.

A sample of 100 electric bulbs produced by manufacturer A showed a mean lifetime of 1190 hours and a standard deviation of 90 hours. A sample of 75 bulbs produced by manufacturer B showed a mean lifetime of 1230 hours, with a standard deviation of 120 hours. Is there a difference between the mean life time of two brands at a significance level of 0.05?

Eleven school boys were given a test in drawing. They were given a month's further tuition and a second test of equal difficulty was held at the end of it. Do the marks give evidence that the students have benefitted by extra coaching? (Data: Boys 1-11; Marks I test: 23, 20, 19, 21, 18, 20, 18, 17, 23, 16, 19; Marks II test: 24, 19, 22, 18, 20, 22, 20, 20, 23, 20, 17)

Two random samples are drawn from two populations: Sample I (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) and Sample II (12, 17, 18, 22, 27, 23, 32). Find the variances of the two samples and test whether the two populations have the same variance at 5% level of significance.
