2. The time taken to complete a puzzle, in minutes, is recorded for each person in a club. The
times are summarised in a grouped frequency distribution and represented by a histogram.

One of the class intervals has a frequency of 20 and is shown by a bar of width 1.5 cm and
height 12 cm on the histogram. The total area under the histogram is 94.5 cm2

Find the number of people in the club.

5. A biased tetrahedral die has faces numbered 0, 1, 2 and 3. The die is rolled and the number
face down on the die, X, is recorded. The probability distribution of X is

x 0 1 2 3
1 1 1 1
P(X = x)
6 6 6 2

If X = 3 then the final score is 3

If X z 3 then the die is rolled again and the final score is the sum of the two numbers.

The random variable T is the final score.

(a) Find P(T = 2)

(2)

(b) Find P(T = 3)
