Section 2
This section contains 4 questions worth 53 marks. Provide full working.
11. (13 Marks) X and Y are random variables with joint density
f (x, y) = k(5 − x + y), 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, 1 ≤ y ≤ 3.
(a) [4 marks] Find the value of k
(b) [4 marks] Find fX (x).
Page 4
(c) [5 marks] Find P (1 ≤ Y ≤ 2|X = 1).
12. (10 Marks) Random variables X and Y have Var(X) = 3, V (Y ) = 2, Cov(X, Y) = 1.

Find:
(a) [3 marks] Var(2X − 3Y )
(b) [3 marks] Corr(X, Y)
(c) [4 marks] Decide whether 2X + 3 and 3Y + 2 are independent.

13. (10 Marks) Random variable X is the net weight in 500g boxes of cereal.
X ∼ N (508, 162 ) in grams. For random samples of 12 cereal boxes:
(a) [3 marks] Give the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample means.
(b) [2 marks] State the distribution of X.

(c) [3 marks] Compute P X < 500
(d) [2 marks] Suppose that the population mean and standard deviation are still known
to be 508g and 15g, but the distribution is unknown. How would this affect your
answers to (b) and (c)? Justify your answer.
14. (20 Marks) A survey was conducted to estimate p, the proportion of tea-drinkers who
add sugar to their tea. Out of a random sample of 264 tea-drinkers, 73 said they add sugar.
(a) [5 marks] Construct a 99% confidence interval for p.
Page 6
(b) [11 marks] It has been claimed that in the target population, the proportion of tea-
drinkers who add sugar to their tea is 0.25. The National Diabetes Society (NDS)
suspects that the true proportion is more than 0.25. What evidence do the data
provide to support the NDS’s suspicion? Answer using an appropriate hypothesis test
at a 5
(c) [4 marks] How many people must be interviewed if we want the margin of error of
the 99% confidence interval to be no more than 0.03?
