Difference between correlation and regression analysis. Raw materials are used in the production od synthesis and fiber are stored in a place which has no humidity control. Measurement of relative humidity in the storage place and the moisture content of a sample of raw materials (both in percentage) on 10 days yields the following results. i. Compute correlation coefficient between humidity and moisture content and interpret the result. ii. Find the regression equation of moisture content on humidity. iii. Estimate the moisture content if humidity is 45%. iv. Interpret the value of regression coefficient. [10]

Define statistics and discuss its importance in the field of computational sciences. The following are the numbers of minutes that a person had to wait for the bus to work on 20 working days: 15, 10, 2, 17, 5, 8, 3, 10, 2, 9, 5, 9, 13, 1, 10, 12, 5, 10, 8, 4. Compute mean, median, mode, standard, variance and coefficient of variation. [10]

Define normal distribution. What are the main characteristics of normal distribution? Extruded plastic rods are automatically cut into length 5 inches. Actual length are normally distributed about a mean of 5 inches and their standard deviation is 0.05 inches. (i) What proportion of rods exceed tolerance limits of 4.9 inches to 5.1 inches? (ii) Proportion of rods having tolerance rod which is greater than 6.5 inches. [10]

Define poisson probability distribution. Cars arrive at a petrol station at an average rate of 3 per minute. Assuming that the cars arrive at random, find the probability that (i) no car arrives during a particular minute. (ii) at least one car arrive during a particular minute. (iii) four cars arrives in any 2 minutes. [5]

Define mutually exclusive events and independent events in probability. A problem of mathematics is given to three students, A, B and C whose chances of solving the problem are in ratio 2 : 3 : 5. Find the probability that (i) all of them solve the problem (ii) none of them solve the problem (iii) the problem will be solved. [5]

Define Baye's theorem. Store A, B and C have 100, 75 and 50 employees and, respectively 70, 60 and 50 percent of these are women. Registration are equally likely among all employees regardless of sex. One employee resigns, and this is woman. What is the probability that she works in store B? [5]
