2. What is a square matrix?
3. What is meant by constraint variable?
4. Write a note on EMV in probability.
5. Differentiate mean and median.

12. (a) The India manufacturing Corporation has one plant

located on the outskirts of city. Its production is limited to
two products. The unit contribution for each product has
been computed by the firm’s costing department as Rs. 50
per unit for product I and Rs. 60 per unit for product II.
The time requirements for each product and total time
available in each department are as follows :
Department Hours required
Product I Product II Available hours in a month
1 2.0 3.0 1500
2 3.0 2.0 1000
3 1.5 3.5 500
In addition, the demand for the products restricts the

production to a maximum of 400 units each of these two
products. Formulate this problem as Linear Programming
problem.

Or
(b) (i) Suppose a book of 585 pages contains 43
typographical errors. If these errors are randomly
distributed throughout the book. What is the
probability that 10 pages, selected at random, will be
free from errors? (use e-0.75 = 0.4795)
(ii) The mortality rate for a certain disease is 7 in 1000.
What is the probability for just 2 deaths on account of
this disease in a group of 400? (given e –0.28 = 0.06)
14. (a) Discuss the concept ofsampling distribution in testing of

significance.

increased weight in pounds in certain period were:
10, 6, 16, 17, 13, 12, 8, 14, 15, 9
For another random sample of 12 persons fed on diet B, the
increases in the same period were: 7, 13, 22, 15, 12, 14, 18,
8, 21, 23, 10, and 17. Test whether the diets A and B differ
significantly as regards their effect on increase in weight
given the following?

experiment relating to their life, the following results were
obtained. Compare the variability of the two varieties using the
coefficient of variation and suggest which is consistent in life.
