SECTION ‘C’ :
Answer any four Sub-division: (9 Marks each)
3. a) Define weighted Arithmetic mean, Find the weighted arithmetic mean of first ‘n’ natural numbers, with weights being corresponding numbers.
b) Derive the formula for mode in case of a continuous frequency distribution (4+5)
4. a) Define mean deviation and prove that is least when it is measured from the median

7. a) Define mutually exclusive events.
Two cards are drawn from a pack of playing cards randomly. Find the probability of getting i) Two kings, (ii) One spade and one clcb. iii) An ace and a knave.
b) If A and B are two events then prove that i) P (AUB)= P (A)+P (B)-P (AUB) (4+5)

b) State Bayes theorem. (4+5)

Three urns contain 2 white and 3 black balls. 3 White & 2 black balls and 4 white and I black ball respectively. One ball is drawn from an urn chosen at random and it was found to be white. Find the probability that it was drawn from the first urn.
