17 Pierre wants to investigate the favourite hobbies of students in his year group at school.

(a) There are 100 girls and 120 boys in his year group at school.
Pierre decides to sample 20 girls and 24 boys rather than the same number of girls and
boys.

Write down a reason to support Pierre’s decision.

This method takes less time to get some data

[1]

(b) Pierre decides to give the students in his sample a questionnaire instead of interviewing
them.

Write down a reason why this may not be a good decision.

This way could have more bias or they may not even return the survey
[1]

(c) Pierre wants to use a fair sampling method to randomly select the 20 girls.

Put a tick () next to the sampling method that is the most likely to be random
and fair.

Choose the youngest 20 girls.

Choose the first 20 girls he sees coming

into school.
Put the names of all the girls in a hat and pick
20 names out of the hat without looking.
One class in the school has 20 girls in it.
Choose all of the girls in this class.

18 Yuri has two boxes containing red, black and blue pens only.

Box A contains 3 red pens, 5 black pens and 2 blue pens.

Box B contains 2 red pens, 2 black pens and 1 blue pen.

Yuri picks a pen from one of the boxes at random.

(a) Yuri thinks the probability that the pen will be green is 0

Explain why Yuri is correct.

Shes picking from a box that only has red, black and blue pens
[1]

(b) Yuri says,

‘I am more likely to pick a red pen from box A than from box B
because there are more red pens in box A than box B.’

Explain why Yuri is not correct.

Because box A has a 30% while box B has a 40%, and 40% > 30%
