Suppose the gene ‘A’ stands for tall and gene ‘a’ stands for short, and ‘A’ is dominant over
‘a’. Suppose the parents are of genotype aa and Aa.
i) In a family like this what is the probability of having a short child?
ii) In a family like this if there are four children, what is the probability that two children
are tall and two children are short?
iii) If you survey a large number of such families having four children, what is the average
number of tall children to be expected in a family?
iv) If you survey 256 families of this type, each having four children, how many families
are expected to have all tall children?
The number of bacteria in a certain culture doubles every hour. If there were 30 bacteria
present in the culture originally, how many bacteria will be present at the end of
18th hour?
There is a tower the angle of elevation from the point 'A' which is situated South of the tower is 30°. And angle of elevation of the tower from point 'B' which is to the West of point 'A' is 18°.
If AB = a
Find the height of tower using 'a'.
(sin 18°= (√5-1)/4 )
In a railway yard, goods trains arrive at the rate of 60 trans per day. Assuming that the inter-arrival time follows an exponential distribution and the service time distribution is also exponential with an average of 72 minutes, calculate the following:
i) The average number of trains in the queue.
ii) The probability that the queue size is greater than or equal to 10.
