Aswers should be writte eatly ad legibly.
2 Questio No. 01 I. The followig summery is prepared based o a Quality Check which categorizes all the items produced by three Productio Lies (P1, P ad P3) i a factory ito three grades (G1, G ad G3) durig a certai day. P1 P P3 Total G G G Total If a item is selected at radom what is the probability that a. It is grade G1. b. It was produced by Productio Lie P1 or is of Grade G. c. It was produced by Productio Lie P ad is of Grade G3. d. It is Grade G3 give that it was produced by Productio Lie P3. e. It was from Productio Lie P3, give that it is Grade G. II. Suppose you are to select the best project proposal for a cliet out of three project proposals you have receive as follows. Project Proposal A : A profit of Rs.,000 with a probability of 0.5 or else a loss of Rs Project Proposal B : A profit of Rs. 800 with a probability of 0.3 or else a profit of Rs Project Proposal C : A profit of Rs. 1,000 with a probability of 0.8 ad a profit of Rs. 500 with a probability of 0.1 or else a loss of Rs Select the best project with the reaso for your choice. III. A bag cotais four red ad five black couters. The couters are removed oe at a time without replacemet. If the couters are take out at radom fid the probability that: a. The first two couters removed are red b. The secod couter removed is red 1
3 Questio No. 0 I. A ubiased die, marked 1 to 6, is rolled twice. Fid the probability of : a. Rollig two fives b. The secod throw beig a five, give that the first throw is a five, c. Gettig a score of ie from two throws d. Throwig at least oe five e. Throwig exactly oe five II. Three people A, B, C tries their fortue for a price by rollig a tetrahedro with the faces umbered 1,, 3 ad 4 (a four sided fair die). The wier is the first perso to roll a four.

4 Questio No. 04 I. A washig machie maufacturer states that the washig machies they produce have a mea lifetime of 6000 hours with a stadard deviatio of 300 hours. I geeral, it ca be assumed that the lifetime of washig machies follows a Normal Distributio a.
