Question 29.
Following is the data regarding annual nt life insurance premium. Using binomial expansion method estimate the premium at the age 30 and 45.
2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 10
Answer:
Let X and Y be the age and premium. The number of known values of y : n = 4, the Binomial exponsion (y – 1)4 = 0. .
2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 11
y4 – 4y3 + 6y2 – 4y1+ y0 = 0 ……………(1)
By increasing sufficiences of y by T we get
y5 – 4y4 + 6y3 – 4y2 + y1 = 0 …………. (2)
From (1) 2256 – 4(1996) + 6y2 – 4(1581) +1426 = 0.
2256 – 7984 + 6y2 – 6324 + 1426 = 0 ,
6y2 – 10626 = 0
∴ y2 = Rs.1771
From (2) y5 – 4(2256) + 6(1996) -4(1771)+ 1581 =0
y5-9024 + 11976 – 7084 + 1581 =0
∴ y5 = Rs. 2551

2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 15
Answer:
Given: n1 = 64, n2 = 48, x̄1 = 50, x̄2 = 54, S1 = 8, s2 = 12.
H0 : Mean weight of Boys and Girls is same (µ1 = µ2)
H1 : Mean weight of Boys is less than Girls (µ1 < µ2) {Lower fail test -k}
Under H0 the test statistic is:
2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 16
At a = 5% the lower critical value -k = – 1.65
Here Zcal lies in rejection region (RR).

A tailor gets a profit of Rs. 100 from a shirt and Rs. 170 from a pant. In a week of 56 hours, he uses 36 hours for cutting and 20 hours for stitching. For cutting he requires tw0 hours for a shirt and three hours for a pant. He, requires one hour to stitch a shirt and two hours to stitch a pant, formualte L.P.P.
Answer:
Consider the constraints as equalities (i.e., as equaion).
2x + 3y = 36 Co-ordinates (x, y)
put x = 0: we get y = \(\frac{36}{3}\) = 12: (0,12) .
put y = 0; we get x = \(\frac{36}{2}\) = 18; (18 , 0)
and x + 2y = 20
put x = 0 ; y = \( \frac{20}{0}\) =10; (0, 10)
put y = 0; x = 20 (20 , 0)
Also x = 0, y = 0

Question 39.
For the following data fit a straight line trend and find trend values also estimate the production of 2017.
2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 29
Answer:
Let x and y be the year and production
2nd PUC statistics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 - 30
Here x̄ = 2013
From the normal equaiton na + bΣx = Σy
From Σa + bΣx2 = Σxy b = \(\frac{\Sigma x y}{\Sigma x^{2}}=\frac{84}{28}=3\)
Since Σx \(\frac{\Sigma y}{n}=\frac{630}{7}\) = 90 and
The fitted straight line trend equation is
y = a + bx : ŷ = 90 + 3x
Trend values : (2010) = 90 + 3(-3) = 81
ŷ(2011) = 90 + 3(-2) = 84.
Similarly all remaining trend values can be compated.
Estimation of production for 2017; x = 4
ŷ (2017) = 90 + 3(4) = 102 Tons.
