    S1 2017 Chapter 7 Binomial Distribution

    Uploaded by

    Kyle Zhang
    The document contains several statistics problems involving binomial and normal distributions. The problems calculate probabilities related to events like the number of cracked eggs in a box of eggs, the probability Khalid hurts himself riding a bicycle or skateboard on a given day, and the number of crossword puzzles Hebe completes in a week.

    5 Eggs are sold in boxes of 20. Cracked eggs occur independently and the mean number of cracked
    eggs in a box is 1.4.

    (i) Calculate the probability that a randomly chosen box contains exactly 2 cracked eggs. [3]

    (ii) Calculate the probability that a randomly chosen box contains at least 1 cracked egg. [2]

    (iii) A shop sells n of these boxes of eggs. Find the smallest value of n such that the probability of
    there being at least 1 cracked egg in each box sold is less than 0.01. [2]
    9709/62/M/J/17
    7 During the school holidays, each day Khalid either rides on his bicycle with probability 0.6, or on his
    skateboard with probability 0.4. Khalid does not ride on both on the same day. If he rides on his
    bicycle then the probability that he hurts himself is 0.05. If he rides on his skateboard the probability
    that he hurts himself is 0.75.

    (i) Find the probability that Khalid hurts himself on any particular day. [2]

    (ii) Given that Khalid hurts himself on a particular day, find the probability that he is riding on his
    skateboard. [2]

    (iii) There are 45 days of school holidays. Show that the variance of the number of days Khalid rides
    on his skateboard is the same as the variance of the number of days that Khalid rides on his
    bicycle. [2]

    (iv) Find the probability that Khalid rides on his skateboard on at least 2 of 10 randomly chosen days
    in the school holidays. [3]
    9709/63/M/J/17
    2 The probability that George goes swimming on any day is 31 . Use an approximation to calculate the
    probability that in 270 days George goes swimming at least 100 times. [5]

    9709/63/M/J/17
    5 Hebe attempts a crossword puzzle every day. The number of puzzles she completes in a week (7 days)
    is denoted by X .

    (i) State two conditions that are required for X to have a binomial distribution. [2]

    On average, Hebe completes 7 out of 10 of these puzzles.

    (ii) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability that Hebe completes at least 5 puzzles in a
    week. [3]

    (iii) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability that, over the next 10 weeks, Hebe completes
    4 or fewer puzzles in exactly 3 of the 10 weeks. [3]
    9709/61/O/N/17
    3 An experiment consists of throwing a biased die 30 times and noting the number of 4s obtained. This
    experiment was repeated many times and the average number of 4s obtained in 30 throws was found
    to be 6.21.

    (i) Estimate the probability of throwing a 4. [1]

    Hence

    (ii) find the variance of the number of 4s obtained in 30 throws, [1]

    (iii) find the probability that in 15 throws the number of 4s obtained is 2 or more. [3]

    9709/63/O/N/17
    1 A statistics student asks people to complete a survey. The probability that a randomly chosen person
    agrees to complete the survey is 0.2. Find the probability that at least one of the first three people
    asked agrees to complete the survey. [2]
    9709/62/O/N/17
    5 Blank CDs are packed in boxes of 30. The probability that a blank CD is faulty is 0.04. A box is
    rejected if more than 2 of the blank CDs are faulty.

    (i) Find the probability that a box is rejected. [3]

    (ii) 280 boxes are chosen randomly. Use an approximation to find the probability that at least 30 of
    these boxes are rejected. [5]
