Numerical and Statistical Computing Exam

1. The document is a 4 page exam for the course MCSE-004 Numerical and Statistical Computing. It contains 5 compulsory questions covering topics like error calculation, root finding using bisection method, solving systems of equations using Jacobi's and Gauss-Seidel methods, interpolation and integration. 2. Question 2 asks to estimate population for the year 1895 using population data from census years between 1891-1931, solve an ODE using the Runge-Kutta method, and evaluate an integral using Gaussian quadrature. 3. Question 5 contains probability problems like finding the probability of getting at least one ball of each color when drawing balls randomly from a box containing different colored balls, and finding the probability of getting
