Given

X = 0.85y, Y = 0.89x, σz = 3, find σy

A.

3.07

B.

2.03

C.

4.06

D.

1.03

 
 

Option: A

Explanation :

Regression coefficient of X and Y or

bxy = r x σxy = 0.85

or 0.87 x 3/σy = 0.85

or 2.61/σy = 85

or 0.85 σy = 2.61

or σy = 2.61/0.85 = 3.07

Hence the answer is (a).

The probability of a bomb hitting a target is 1/5. Two bombs are enough to destroy a bridge. If six bombs are aimed at the bridge, find the probability that the bridge is destroyed

A.

0.79

B.

0.39

C.

0.16

D.

0.36

 
 

Option: B

Explanation :

‘P’ of hitting a bridge = 1/5

q= 1 - P

or     1 - 1/5 = 4/5

n = 6, r = 1

Hence the answer is (b).
