10. Give any two assumptions of linear programming problem.
11. What is a discrete frequency distribution?
12. Give an example of ‘mutually exclusive’ events.
13. What is the ‘line of best fit’?
14. List any two methods of calculating correlation.
15. What is the ‘key element’ in a simplex table?
16. What is standard normal variate?
17. Define operations research.
18. List two methods to analyse time series trends. (W=8x1=8) (WGP=8x4x1=32)
PART – C
Answer any six questions. Answer not to exceed one page. Each question carries a weightage of two:
19. Explain any four features of operations research.
20. What are the properties of normal distribution? (any 8)
21. How will you interpret a scatter diagram?
22. What are the different types of correlation?
23. From the following data, find the regression equation of x and y.
x: 5 6 7 3 2
y: 4 5 8 2 1
24. There are 6 boys and 4 girls. A committee of 6 is to be formed. In how many ways can this be done if the committee has to contain at least two girls.
25. A firm engaged in producing two models X1 and X2 performs 3 operations painting, assembly and testing. Relevant data are as follows:
Hours required for each unit
Model Selling Price Assembly Painting Testing
X1 Rs. 50 1.0 0.2 0.0
X2 Rs. 80 1.5 0.2 0.1
Total number of hours available per week are assembly=600, painting=100, testing=30. The firm wishes to maximize total revenue. Write up the linear programming model.
26. 4 coins are tossed at a time, 208 times. Number of heads observed at each throw is recorded and the results are as follows:
No. of heads at a throw: 0 1 2 3 4 total
Frequency: 5 48 112 35 8 208 (W=6x2=12)
Fit a binomial distribution to the given data. (WGP=6x4x2=48)
PART – D
Answer any two. Each question carries a weightage of four.
27. What are the limitations of O.R.?
28. The ranking of 10 individuals at the start and at finish of a training course are as follows:
Rank before: 1 6 3 9 5 2 7 10 8 4
Rank after: 6 8 3 2 7 10 5 9 4 1
Calculate Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
29. Given P(B1) = P(B2) = P(B3) = 1/3. P(A/B1) = 1/2 P(A/B2) = ¼ P(A/B3)= 1/5.
Calculate P(B2/A). (W=2x4=8) (WGP=2x4x4=32)
