2) If we draw a card from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. Can king and diamond be mutually exclusive
events? Give reason to support your answer.
Answer:- (Page 146)
No, because If the two events can occur at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive, Therefore, kings and
diamonds are not mutually exclusive.

12) What is natural pairing in observations? Give example.
Answer:- (Page 302)
Natural pairing occurs whenever measurement is taken on the same unit or individual at two different times.
For example, suppose ten young recruits are given a strenuous physical training programme by the Army. Their
weights are recorded before they begin and after they complete the training. The two observations obtained for
each recruit i.e. the before-and-after measurement constitute natural pairing. The above is natural pairing.

13) Interpret the concept of five numbers summary and also explain the purpose of five number
summaries.
Answer:- (Page 97)
A five-number summary consists of X0,Q1, Median, Q3, and Xm ; It provides us quite a good idea about the
shape of
the distribution
If the data were perfectly symmetrical, the following would be true:
1. The distance from Q1 to the median would be equal to the distance from the median to Q3
2. The distance from X0 to Q1 would be equal to the distance from Q3 to Xm.
3. The median, the mid-quartile range, and the midrange would all be equal. All these measures would also be
equal to the arithmetic mean of the data
1.
2.
On the other hand, for non-symmetrical distributions, the following would be true:
In right-skewed distributions the distance from Q3 to Xm greatly exceeds the distance from X0 to Q1
in right-skewed distributions,
median < mid-quartile range < midrange:

Question No: 37 ( Marks: 5 )
A candidate for mayor in a large city believes that he appeals to at least 10 per cent more of the educated
voters than the uneducated voters. He hires the services of a poll-taking organization, and they find that
62 of 100 educated voters interviewed support the candidate, and 69 of 150 uneducated voters support
him at the 0.05 significance level.
Answer:- (Page 292)
Step-1:
The null and alternative hypothesis is
H0 : p1 p2 > 0.10, and
H1 : p1 p2 < 0.10, where p1 = proportion of educated voters, and p2 = proportion of uneducated voters.
Step-2:
Level of Significance:
= 0.05.
22
Step-5:
Critical Region:
As this is a one-tailed test, therefore the critical region is given by
Z < -z0.05 = -1.645
Step-6:
Conclusion:
Since the calculated value z = 0.95 does not fall in the critical region, so we accept the null hypothesis H0 : p1
p2 > 0.10.The data seems to support the candidates view.
Until now, we have discussed in considerable detail interval estimation and hypothesis-testing based on the
standard normal distribution and the Z-statistic.
Next, we begin the discussion of interval estimation hypothesis-testing based on the t-distribution.

Explain the method of Maximum Likelihood in Point Estimation?
Answer:- Page 263
The method of maximum likelihood is regarded as the MOST important method of estimation, and is the most
widely used method. This method was introduced in 1922 by Sir Ronald A. Fisher (1890-1962).The
mathematical technique of finding Maximum Likelihood Estimators is a bit advanced, and involves the concept
of the Likelihood Function.
