Section B: Statistics [60 marks]

5 The owner of a newly opened megastore would like to sample 2% of the patrons to find
out the quality of service provided by his staff.
(i) Give a reason why it would be difficult to use a stratified sample. [1]
(ii) Explain how a systematic sample could be obtained. [2]

6 A box contains twenty chocolates which are identical apart from theirflavours. Five of
the chocolates are caramel-flavoured, seven are mint-flavoured and eight are
strawberry-flavoured. J ohn randomly selects three chocolates from the box. Find the
probability that
(i) exactly two of the three chocolates are mint-flavoured, [2]
(ii) at least two of the three chocolates have the same flavour, [2]
(iii) exactly one chocolate is strawberry-flavoured given that at least two of the three
chocolates have the same flavour. [3]

7 The occurrences of floods per year in Orchid Town follow a Poisson distribution with
mean 5.
(i) Find the probability that in a period of 8 months, there are at most 3 floods
occurring in Orchid Town. [2]
(ii) Ten 8-month periods are chosen at random. Find the probability that there are at
least 7 such periods with more than 3 floods occurring in Orchid Town. [3]
(iii) Using a suitable approximation, find the probability that in 6 years, Orchid Town
is flooded more than 5 times but not more than 32 times. [4]

8 Tom, Dick and J erry met up for dinner with their best friends, J ack and J ane at a
restaurant. J ack and J ane brought their 3 children with them. They requested to be
seated at a round table. Find the number of ways that the 8 of them can be seated at the
round table if
(i) the family of 5 is to be seated together, [2]
(ii) the 3 children are to be separated, [3]
(iii) the chairs are labeled. [1]
At the restaurant, there is a free flow salad bar. J ane visits the salad bar to get some
salad. At the salad bar, there are altogether 10 separate bowls, each containing a
different type of vegetable. At each bowl, she can choose to take some of the contents
or not. Assuming that J ane takes some of the contents from at least one bowl, find how
many different selections she can make. [2]

9 A teacher wants to find out if there is any correlation between the amount of time spent
on preparation and the results obtained in a Mathematics examination. A random
sample of 10 students is taken from those sitting examinations in Mathematics. The
number of hours these students spent in preparing for the examination, t, and their
scores for the examination, x, are given in the table.



(i) Draw a scatter diagram to illustrate the data. [2]
(ii) State, with a reason, which of the following models is appropriate.
A: x a bt = +
B: ln x a b t = +
C: e

(iii) For the appropriate model chosen, find the value of the product moment
correlation coefficient for the transformed data, and the least squares estimates of
a and b. [3]
(iv) Using your answers to (iii), obtain an estimate of the score of a student who spent
36 hours studying for a mathematics examination and comment on the reliability
of your answer. [3]

10 In this question you should state clearly the values of the parameters of any normal
distribution you use.
The mass, in grams, of a randomly chosen jar of Tasty brand jam is a random variable
with the distribution N(300, 4
2
). The mass, in grams, of a randomly chosen Yummy
brand jam is a random variable with the distribution N(350, 5
2
).
(i) Find the probability that the masses of 2 randomly selected jars of Tasty brand
jam differ by more than 10g. [3]
(ii) Find the probability that out of four randomly chosen jars of Yummy brand jam,
exactly one weighs more than 355g and the other three weigh not more than 345g
each. [3]
(iii) A crate contains ten jars of Tasty brand jam and five jars of Yummy brand jam.
Find the probability that the average mass of fifteen jars of jam in a randomly
chosen crate lies between 317g and 322g. [4]

11 The population mean earnings per share for a group of corporations was $2.70 in the
year 2009.
(a) In 2010, a sample of 10 corporations provided the following data of earnings per
share (in $).
1.77 2.30 3.17 2.96 1.76 2.89 1.94 2.15 2.46 2.38
(i) Test, at the 4% significance level, whether the population mean earnings
per share in 2010 is less than $2.70. State a necessary assumption for the
test to be valid. [5]
(ii) What is the smallest significance level at which the alternative hypothesis is
accepted? [1]
(b) Another sample of 75 corporations was taken and the standard deviation was
found to be $0.75. The null hypothesis that the mean earnings per share is $2.70
is tested against the alternative that it is not $2.70 at the 2% level of significance.
(i) Find the set of values within which the mean earnings per share of this
sample must lie for the alternative hypothesis to be accepted. [5]
(ii) State one assumption or approximation that is involved. [1]
(iii) Explain, in the context of the question, the meaning of at the 2% level of
significance. [1]
