1. The scores of students in a mathematics exam are normally distributed
with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. Calculate the percentage
of students scoring between 67 and 83.
2. A researcher collected data on the number of hours spent studying and
the scores obtained by students in an exam. Perform a linear regression
analysis to determine the relationship between hours studied and exam
scores.
3. Use the chi-square test to determine if there is a significant difference
between the expected and observed frequencies in the following data:
Category Observed Expected
A 40 35
B 30 25
C 20 15
D 10 25

1. Solve the equation 2 cos2 θ − 3 cos θ + 1 = 0 for 0◦ ≤ θ ≤ 360◦ .
2. A triangle has sides a = 5, b = 8, and c = 10. Calculate the angles of the
triangle using the cosine rule.
3. A plane flies 200 km on a bearing of 060° and then changes course to fly
150 km on a bearing of 120°. Find the plane’s final position relative to its
starting point.

annual interest rate of 5%, compounded monthly.
2. Calculate the present value of an annuity that pays $1000 annually for 5
years at an interest rate of 6% per annum.
3. A person takes a mortgage of $300,000 at an interest rate of 4% per annum

length of 6.

1. A box contains 10 white balls and 5 black balls. Two balls are drawn
without replacement. What is the probability that both balls are black?
2. In a survey, 60% of respondents said they prefer tea over coffee. If 10
people are randomly selected, what is the probability that exactly 6 of
them prefer tea?
3. A factory produces light bulbs with a defect rate of 2%. If 100 bulbs are
produced, what is the probability that at most 2 bulbs are defective? Use
the binomial distribution to solve.
