Answer all questions in the answer booklet provided. Please start each question on a new page.
Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be
supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch
these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct
method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.

Elsie, a librarian, wants to investigate the length of time, T minutes, that people spent in her
library on a particular day.

(a) State whether the variable T is discrete or continuous. [1]


Elsie’s data for 160 people who visited the library on that particular day is shown in the
following table.

T (minutes) 0 ≤ T < 20 20 ≤ T < 40 40 ≤ T < 60 60 ≤ T < 80 80 ≤ T < 100

Frequency 50 62 k 14 8

(b) Find the value of k . [2]


(c) (i) Write down the modal class.

(ii) Write down the mid-interval value for this class. [2]

(d) Use Elsie’s data to calculate an estimate of the mean time that people spent in the library. [2]


(e) Using the table, write down the maximum possible number of people who spent 35
minutes or less in the library on that day. [1]

Elsie assumes her data to be representative of future visitors to the library.

(f) Find the probability a visitor spends at least 60 minutes in the library. [2]

(Question 1 continued)

The following box and whisker diagram shows the times, in minutes, that the 160 visitors
spent in the library.

T (minutes)

(g) Write down the median time spent in the library. [1]


(h) Find the interquartile range. [2]

(i) Hence show that the longest time that a person spent in the library is not an outlier. [3]


Elsie believes the box and whisker diagram indicates that the times spent in the library are
not normally distributed.

(j) Identify one feature of the box and whisker diagram which might support Elsie’s belief. [1]

At Mirabooka Primary School, a survey found that 68 % of students have a dog and 36 % of
students have a cat. 14 % of students have both a dog and a cat.

This information can be represented in the following Venn diagram, where m , n , p and q
represent the percentage of students within each region.

(Question 4 continued)

Each year, one student is chosen randomly to be the school captain of Mirabooka
Primary School.

Tim is using a binomial distribution to make predictions about how many of the next 10
school captains will own a dog. He assumes that the percentages found in the survey will
remain constant for future years and that the events “being a school captain” and “having
a dog” are independent.

Use Tim’s model to find the probability that in the next 10 years

(d) (i) 5 school captains have a dog.


(ii) more than 3 school captains have a dog.

(iii) exactly 9 school captains in succession have a dog. [7]


John randomly chooses 10 students from the survey.

(e) State why John should not use the binomial distribution to find the probability that 5
of these students have a dog. [1]
