Version 4 of 5 — Answer Key

Section A: Probability and Counting

1. [2 marks]
Choose 2 girls from 5: $\binom{5}{2} = 10$ . Choose 2 boys from 7: $\binom{7}{2} = 21$ .
Total = $10 \times 21 = 210$ .
Teaching note: Use combinations because order does not matter. Common mistake: using permutations.

2. [2 marks]
$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.45 + 0.30 - 0.12 = 0.63$ .
Teaching note: Addition rule prevents double-counting intersection.

3. [3 marks]
Tree: First branch R (0.6), B (0.4). From R: R (5/9), B (4/9). From B: R (6/9), B (3/9).
Outcome probs: RR = 0.6×5/9=1/3, RB=0.6×4/9=4/15, BR=0.4×6/9=4/15, BB=0.4×3/9=2/15.
Marking: 1 for structure, 1 for correct conditionals, 1 for labelled probabilities.

4. [2 marks]
$P(C \cap D) = P(C) \times P(D|C) = 0.6 \times 0.25 = 0.15$ .
Teaching note: Conditional probability formula.

5. [2 marks]
$P(\text{PT and late}) = 0.70 \times 0.40 = 0.28$ .
Teaching note: Multiply marginal and conditional.

6. [3 marks]
$X \sim B(20, 0.35)$ . $P(X > 10) = 1 - P(X \le 10)$ . Using GC: $1 - 0.8724 = 0.1276$ .
Marking: 1 for setup, 2 for correct value.

7. [2 marks]
Fixed n=15 independent trials; constant p=0.08; two outcomes (defective/not); batch large so independence approx holds.
Teaching note: Binomial conditions.

Section B: Distributions and Sampling

8. [3 marks]
$Z_1 = (380-420)/60 = -0.667$ , $Z_2 = (450-420)/60 = 0.5$ .
$P(-0.667 < Z < 0.5) = \Phi(0.5) - \Phi(-0.667) = 0.6915 - 0.2525 = 0.439$ .
Marking: 1 each for z-scores, 1 for final prob.

9. [3 marks]
$P(T>45)=0.10 \Rightarrow P(Z > (45-\mu)/12)=0.10 \Rightarrow (45-\mu)/12 = 1.282$ .
$\mu = 45 - 12(1.282) = 29.6$ min.
Marking: 1 for inverse normal, 2 for solve.

10. [3 marks]
$E(2X-Y)=2(50)-30=70$ . $\text{Var}(2X-Y)=4(16)+9=73$ .
Teaching note: Independent so variances add with squares of coefficients.

11. [3 marks]
$\bar{x} = 2124/36 = 59.0$ .
$s^2 = [\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2/n]/(n-1) = [128900 - 2124^2/36]/35 = [128900 - 125316]/35 = 3584/35 = 102.4$ .
Marking: 1 mean, 2 variance.

12. [2 marks]
By CLT, $\bar{X} \approx N(100, 64/50) = N(100, 1.28)$ .
Teaching note: n=50 ≥ 30.

13. [2 marks]
Mean = $np = 40(0.2) = 8$ . Variance = $np(1-p) = 40(0.2)(0.8) = 6.4$ .

14. [3 marks]
$s^2 = [7890 - 437.5^2/25]/24 = [7890 - 7656.25]/24 = 233.75/24 = 9.74$ cm².

Section C: Correlation, Regression and Hypothesis Testing

15. [4 marks]
$r = \frac{n\sum xy - \sum x\sum y}{\sqrt{(n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2)(n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2)}}$
$= \frac{8(3326)-44(560)}{\sqrt{(8(284)-44^2)(8(40268)-560^2)}} = \frac{26608-24640}{\sqrt{(2272-1936)(322144-313600)}} = \frac{1968}{\sqrt{336 \times 8544}} = \frac{1968}{\sqrt{2870784}} = 0.989$ .
Strong positive linear correlation.
Marking: 2 formula/substitution, 2 value+comment.

16. [3 marks]
$b = \frac{8(3326)-44(560)}{8(284)-44^2} = 1968/336 = 5.857$ .
$a = 560/8 - 5.857(44/8) = 70 - 32.21 = 37.79$ .
$y = 37.8 + 5.86x$ .

17. [5 marks]
$H_0: \mu = 0.4$ , $H_1: \mu \neq 0.4$ (2-tail).
Test stat: $Z = (0.43-0.4)/(0.08/\sqrt{35}) = 0.03/0.0135 = 2.22$ .
Critical z at 5% two-tail = ±1.96. Since 2.22 > 1.96, reject $H_0$ .
Evidence mean differs.
Marking: 1 H's, 2 calc, 2 conclusion.

18. [2 marks]
Correlation not causation; likely confounding (temperature) increases both.

19. [4 marks]
$H_0: \mu = 4.8$ , $H_1: \mu > 4.8$ .
$Z = (5.2-4.8)/\sqrt{1.44/42} = 0.4/0.185 = 2.16$ .
Critical 1% one-tail = 2.33. Not reject. Insufficient evidence.
Marking: 1 H's, 2 calc, 1 concl.

20. [2 marks]
Scatter shows clear negative linear trend; axes labelled; points as given.
Marking: 1 axes/labels, 1 points/trend.
