1 The discrete random variable X ~ B(15, 0.35)
Find:
(a) P(X = 5)
(b) P(X < 4)
(c) P(X 10)
(Total for question 1 is 3 marks)
2 The probability of Harry being late for school is 0.1. Over a term of 30 days find the probability that
Harry is late:
Previous research by a restaurant found that 30% of customers will order a starter.
One one day a random sample of 40 customers is taken and 7 order a starter.
(b) Test at the 5% significance level whether the proportion of customers ordering a (5)
starter has decreased.
(c) State the conclusion you would have reached if you tested at the 10% significance level. (1)
On one particular day a random sample of 40 customers that ordered breakfast is taken and 19 of them
ordered a coffee.
(b) Test at the 1% significance level whether the proportion of customers ordering a coffee had (5)
Increased. State your hypotheses clearly.
(c) State the conclusion you would have reached if a 5% significance level had been used for this test. (1)
(Total for question 4 is 8 marks)
5 A company produces pens. The probability that any pen is defective is 0.08.
(a) A sample of 15 pens is taken. Find the probability that 2 or more pens are defective. (2)
An employee claims that the probability that a pen is defective is more than 0.08. They take a sample of
20 pens and 3 are defective.
(b) Stating your hypothesis clearly, test the employee's claim at the 5% significance level. (5)
6 Andy plays tennis. The probability that Andy will get one of his serves in court is 60%.
(b) Andy's coach thinks that the probability of Andy getting a serve in court has changed.
Andy serves 50 times in a set and 35 are in court.
Stating your hypothesis clearly, test the coach's claim at the 10% significance level.
7 The probability of a bias dice landing on 6 is 0.4. The dice is going to be rolled 20 times.
(a) Find the probability that the dice will land on 6 exactly 5 times.
Polly thinks that the probability that the dice will land on 6 is incorrect.
(b) Write down the hypotheses that should be used to test Polly's suspicion
(c) Using a 10% significance level find the critical region for a two tailed test to test Polly's suspicion.
You should state the probability of rejection in each tail, which should be less than 0.05
(d) Find the actual significance level of a test based on your critical region from part (c)
Polly rolls the dice 20 times. The dice lands on six 11 times.
