1. (a) Letf :R\{-1} -+R, g:R-+R bedefinedby

f(x)= gk):3x
h,
Find the set of solutionsof : (fog) (x) = (gof) (x) 3
(b) The probability that a regularly scheduled flight
departs on time is 0.83, the probability that it arrives
on time is 0,82 and the probabilitythat it departsand
arrives on time is A.78. Find the probability that a
plane arrives on time given that it departed on time. 3

2. (a) A bag contains 7 red balls and 5 white balls. In how
many ways can 4 balls be drawn such that

(i) all of them are red,

(ii) two of them are red and two white ? 2

(b) If the sum of a certain nurnber of terms of the A.P.

25, 22, 19, .... is 116, find the number of terms. 3 t

(c) In a shop study, a set of data was collected to

determine whether or not the proportion of
defectivesproduced by workers was the same for the
duy, evening or night shifts worked. The following
data was collected :

shift Day Evening Night

Defectivcis 24 43 13
Non-defectives 31 57 32
Use the ^trz-testto determine if the proportion of
defectivesis the same for all three shifts at 5o/olevel: 5

 3. (a) A particle moves in the plane accordingto the law
x : t2 + 2t, ! = 2f - 6t. Find the slope of the
tangent line when t : 0.
(b) Find a unit vector perpendicular to the two vectors
3i + 2i - k and i + j + k. Also find the areaof the
\ triangle having the above two vectors as two of its
I

1 sides.

(c) The probability of getting a head in one tossing of a
\
defective coin is p. This defective coin is tossed
i
. 8 times. If the probabilityof getting a combinationof
i

4 heads'and 4 tails is the same as the probability of

getting a combination of 3 headsand 5 tails, use the
Binomial distributionto find the value of p.
4. (a) Find the point(s) on the cuwe y = xz at which the
tangent line is parallelto the line y :i 6x - 1.
(b) Compute the correlation coefficient for the following
data :
