Question 1

+2 marksOne correct option

A company produces two types of products P1 and P2. The cost price per unit of P1 and P2 are **₹**4 and **₹**3, respectively. The production process requires two types of resources: labor hours and machine hours. Each unit of P1 requires 2 labor hours and 1 machine hour, while each unit of P2 requires 1 labor hour and 3 machine hours. The company has constraints on the availability of labor and machine hours, which are 80 and 90 hours, respectively. Use the above information to answer the given sub-questions.

Question 6

+3 marksNumerical answer

Suppose a random variable X has a mean μ of 70 and a standard deviation σ of 8. Using Chebyshev’s inequality, determine the maximum probability that X will deviate from the mean by more than 24 units. Enter the answer correct to two decimal places.

Show answer

Correct answer: 0.11 (accepted within ±0.02)

Question 7

+3 marksNumerical answer

Consider the following input data points:

xyy
[1,2,3][1, 2, 3]2
[0,0,0][0, 0, 0]1
[1,1,2][1, 1, 2]3
[−1,0,1][-1, 0, 1]-1
[3,1,3][3, 1, 3]4

Suppose we fit a linear model f(x)=x1+3x2−x3f(\mathrm{x}) = x_1 + 3x_2 - x_3, where x=(x1,x2,x3)\mathrm{x} = (x_1, x_2, x_3). Compute the value of the loss function LL for this dataset which is defined as L=1n∑i=1n(f(xi)−yi)2L = \dfrac{1}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (f(\mathrm{x}^i) - y^i)^2.

Enter the answer correct to one decimal place.

Show answer

Correct answer: 1.6

Question 8

+3 marksNumerical answer

Let XX and YY be two independent random variables, where X∼Normal(−1,11)X \sim \mathrm{Normal}(-1, 11) and Y∼Normal(1,9)Y \sim \mathrm{Normal}(1, 9). Define U=2X−3YU = 2X - 3Y. Find the value of P(U<2)P(U < 2). Enter the answer correct to three decimal places.

Hint: Use the following values of FZF_Z if required. FZF_Z stands for the CDF of the standard normal.

  • FZ(0.62)=0.7343F_Z(0.62) = 0.7343
  • FZ(−0.62)=0.2656F_Z(-0.62) = 0.2656
  • FZ(1.25)=0.8947F_Z(1.25) = 0.8947
  • FZ(−1.25)=0.1052F_Z(-1.25) = 0.1052
Show answer

Correct answer: 0.734 (accepted within ±0.003)
