Question 10:

Determine variance and standard deviation of the number of heads in three tosses of a coin.

Let X denote the number of heads tossed. So, can take the values . When a coin is tossed three times, we get

Sample space

Thus the probability distribution of is:

Variance of

Where μ is the mean of given by

Now

From (1) , (2) and (3) , we get

Standard deviation

Question 11:

Refer to Example . Calculate the probability that the defective tube was produced on machine .

Now, we have to find .

Question 12:

A car manufacturing factory has two plants, X and Y. Plant X manufactures of cars and plant Y manufactures of the cars at plant X and of the cars at plant Y are rated of standard quality. A car is chosen at random and is found to be of standard quality. What is the probability that it has come from plant X?

Let be the event that the car is of standard quality. Let and be the events that the car is manufactured in plants X and Y, respectively. Now

Probability that a standard quality car is manufactured in plant

Probability that a standard quality car has come from plant

Hence the required probability is
