The chances of winning a free soft drink are 1 in 10, and the chances of winning a free large pizza are 1 in 50. You plan to eat lunch tomorrow at Tony's Pizza. What is the probability that : (a) you will not win a prize. | Bl (©) you will win a prize at least once on three consecutive visits fo Tony's Pizza. [3] During Chinese New Year, boxes of mandarin oranges are shipped and imported. The probability of finding X rotten oranges in a box of large oranges is given by the function f(x) below. a , x=1,2,3 2x P(X =x 0, otherwise where mis a constant. (a) Find the value of m. 2] (b) Find the expectation value of X. 2] (©) Two boxes of large oranges are randomly chosen. If ¥ represents the total rotten oranges found, calculate P(Y <3). (3]‘The number of telephone calls received by an office daily has a Poisson distribution witha mean 9.5 . (@) Calculate the probability that in a randomly chosen day, eight calls are received. 2 (b) In ten randomly chosen days, determine the probability that there are exactly two days where eight calls are received daily. BI (©) Calculate the probability that in any two randomly chosen days, a total of ten calls are received. 2 Chicken Delight claims that 90% of its orders are delivered within 10 minutes of the time the order is placed. A sample of 100 orders revealed that 82 were delivered within the promised time. At the 10% significant level, can we conclude that less than 90% of the orders are delivered in less than 10 minutes? {6 ‘A company produces thousands of small packets of salt each day. The manager of the company claims that the mean mass of a small packet of salt is normally distributed with a mean of 46.2 g and a standard deviation of 1.6 g. The masses of 400 randomly chosen ‘small packets of salt were measured and the results are summarised in the following tabie. Some expected frequencies, each correct to 2 decimal places for a random sample of 400 drawn from a normal distribution with mean of 46.2 g and standard deviation 1.6 g are shown in the following table: (a) Find the values of a,b and c which will complete this table. [6 marks] (b) Carry out a chi-squared test, at the 1% significance level to determine whether a normal distribution with mean of 46.2 g and standard deviation 1.6 g provides a suitable model for this data. [6 marks]7. (a) Itis known that the success rate of a cactus seed germinating is 0.3. (i) If6 of the cactus seeds are chosen at random, find the probability that at most one seed germinates. 2 (i) If 400 cactus seeds are randomly chosen, by using an appropriate approximation probability distribution, determine the probability of more than 114 cactus seeds germinate, 4] (b) The length of a type of brush manufactured by a company is distributed normally with mean 12 and variance 1.44 om. (J State the standard error of the sample mean for a random sample of ten brushes. ti (i) Calculate the probability that the mean length of the random sample of ten brushes is less than 11 cm. BB] (ii) Find the smallest sample size needed in order to estimate that the percentage of error is less than 0.02 at 95% confidence level. 6] 8. (a) A pharmaceutical company is examining a new drug in pill form which is about to be marketed nationwide. In a random sample of 100 pills taken, the masses, X, are recorded, and the results are as follow. ig wo dix =1200 x a at Calculate the unbiased estimate of the mean and variance of X. [4] 14800 (b) Ina survey done where 300 students were randomly selected by a school's textbook unit, it has been found out that 245 of them are using borrowed textbooks which are provided by the government. () _ Whatis the proportion of student who is using the borrowed textbook? [2] (i) Determine, at 95% symmetrical confidence level, whether the proportion of students who use borrowed textbooks are more than 93%. (5) (i) Calculate the maximum estimation error, with a probability of 0.9, for the proportion of student using borrowed textbooks. 4] seannnnnnnenesesseseeenereT HE END OF THE QUESTION PAPER****treseterenenenstenne
