The probability that a bomb hits the target is $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ Five bombs are aimed at the target. Find the probability that:

Let x denote the number of bombs hit the target is a Binomial variate with the parameters
n = 5, P = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ = 0.25 and q= 1 – p= 1 – 0.25 = 0:75.
The p.m.f is:-
p(x) = ncx px qn-x: x = 0,1,2 n
p(x)= 5cx (0.25)x (0.75)5-x x = 0,1,2……..5
(i) p(3 bombs hit the target) =p(x = 3) = 5c3 (0.25)3 (0.75)5-3 = 10 × 0.015625 × 0.5625
= 0.08789.

(ii) p(at most two bombs hit the target) = p(x ≤ 2)
= p(x = 0) + p[x = l) + p(x = 2)
= 5c0 (0.25)° x (0.75)5-0 + 5c1 (0.25)1 (0.75)5-1 + 5c2 (0.25)2 (0.75)5-2
= 1 × 1 × 0.2373 + 5 × 0.25 × 0.3164 + 10 × 0.0625 × 0.4218
= 0.2373 + 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.8965.

Question 39.
Fit an exponential trend line of the form y = ab*. Also estimate the value for 2008.

Here $$x=\frac{x-\bar{x}}{c}$$; x̄ = 2003; c = 1
The normal equations: n log a + log b. Σx = Σlogy
since Σx = 0; loga = $$\frac{\Sigma \log y}{n}=\frac{7.853}{7}$$ = 1.1218
∴ a = AL(loga) = AL(1.1218)
a = 13.2373
log a. Σx + log b Σx2 = Σx. logy

log b = $$\frac{\Sigma x \log y}{\Sigma x^{2}}$$ ; logb= $$\frac{4.2071}{28}$$ =0.1502
∴ b = AL (log b) = AL (0.1502) = 1.4132 ; The fitted exponential trend line is: y = abx ;
ŷ = 13.2373(1.4132)x.
Estimation for the year 2008; x = 5; ŷ = (2008) = 13.2373(1.4132)5 = 74.6135.

Question 40.
Consider the following data:

Fit a Poisson distribution to the data and test the goodness of fit. (Use 5% L.O.S.)
The parameter of Poisson variate λ is:
From the distribution: Mean = x̄ = λ = $$\frac{\Sigma f x}{N}$$

λ = 0.99

T0 = 0.3716 × 100 = 37.16 = 37

T1 = $$\frac{0.99}{1}$$T0 =0.99 × 37.16 = 36.7884 = 37
T2 = $$\frac{0.99}{2}$$ T1 = 0.495 × 36.7884 = 18.2103 = 18
T3 = $$\frac{0.99}{3}$$T2 = 0.33 × 18.2103 = 6.0094 = 6
T = $$\frac{0.99}{4}$$T3 = 0.2475 × 6.0094 = 1.4873 = 2
T 5, = $$\frac{0.99}{5}$$T4 0.198 × 1.4873 = 0.2945=0
T 6 = $$\frac{0.99}{6}$$ T5 = 0.165 × 0.2945 = 0.0486= 0
T7 or more =N – T6= 100 – 100 = 0.
The fitted observed and theoretial frequency distribution is:

H0: Poisson distribution is good fit {i.e., Oi = Ei}
H1: Poisson distribution is not good fit {i.e., 0i ≠ Ei}
CHI – SQUARE TEST: Let 0≠ and E. be the observed (f) frequency and theoretical frequency (Tx)
Then the χ2-test statistic is:

λ is estimated from the data so (n – 2) d.f.

∴ χ2cal= 11.0979; n = 4
At α = 5% for (n – 2) = 4 – 2 = 2 d.f the upper tail critical value K2 = 9.49. Here χ2cal lies in
R.R. ∴ H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted.
OR
Conclusion: 0i ≠ Ei; i.e., P.D. is not a good fit.

Q0 = 1 – p0 = 0.5 [male and female are in equal in proportion]
H0: Male and female are in equal proportion [P0 = 0.5]
H1: Male and female are not in equal proportion [p0 ≠ 0.5]

under H0, the test statistic is:-
