Saul is shooting baskets from the free throw line on the basketball court. From previous experience he
estimates the probability that he scores a basket Wilh a single shot is 60%. He lines up 7 basketballs and
shoots each one from the free throw line. The random variable X is the number of baskets he scores from his
7 shots.

a) Describe the distribution of the random variable that you would use to model this situation together
with any assumptions you are making in using it. [2]
b) Find the probability that Saul scores less than 3 baskets. [1]
c) Find E(X) and Var(X) [2]

Sam owns a small boat and so wishes to investigate the depth of water in his local harbor. On the 1st June,
during low tide at 09:18 the depth was 2.5 m and during the subsequent high tide at 15:30 the depth was
4.9 m. Letting w(t) be the depth of water (metres) at time t (hours after midnight), Sam finds a model for
the depth of water on 1st June using a function of the form w(t) = a sin(bt) + d, 0 ≤ t ≤ 24. a) Show that d
3.7.
c) Find the value of a.
d) State the period of the function and hence state the value of b correct to 2 decimal places.
To take his boat out Sam needs the depth in the harbor to be above 3.3 metres. d)
Find the latest time on 1st June that Sam can return to the harbor.

A hotel manager collects data on the age of their guests and the feedback they provide on their
experience of staying at the hotel. The results are shown belowat the hotel. The results are shown in the
table

a) Test at the 10% level whether the age of the guests and feedback they provide on their stay are
independent of each other.

A manufacturing company suspects that one of their machines is working inefficiently and they are
therefore considering replacing it with a newer model. They obtain a new machine on a one week loan
and take a sample of production times (in mins) from both the old and new machines.

The manufacturing company wishes to carry out a t-test to determine whether the new machine will give a
lower production time than the old machine. The significance level of the test is 5%.

a) State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. [1]
b) Find the t-value and p-value of the test. [2]
c) State, with reason, the conclusion of the test. [2]

a) a Find the probability that a randomly chosen pumpkin from the farm is below 3 kg. [2]

b) b Find the lowest mass for a pumpkin to be sold as an XL Pumpkin' [2]

c) c Two pumpkins are selected at random. Find the probability that one is too light to sell and the

other is an 'XL Pumpkin [2]
