1. State whether the following statements are true or false. Give a short proof or a counter
example in support of your answers: (10)
(a) Poisson distribution is a limiting case of binomial distribution for n p, 1
→ → ∞ and
np ∞.
→
(b) For two independent events A and B, if P(A) = 2.0 and P(B) = ,4.0 then
(A∩ B) = .6.0
(c) If H0
: P ≤ 6.0 and X ~ B(n, p)n -known and p unknown and 1 0 H :µ = µ where
X ~ N
2 2
(µ,σ )σ unknown, then H0
and H1
are simple null hypothesis.
(d) Frequency density of a class for any distribution is the ration of total frequency to
class width.
(e) If X and Y are independent r.v.s with M (t) X
and M (t) Y
as their m.gf’s
respectively, then M (t) M (t)M t)
