O-Level Additional Mathematics Quiz Answers - Statistics Probability

Section A: Probability and Discrete Distributions

  1. Working: P(Same)=P(RR)+P(BB)=(58×47)+(38×27)=2056+656=2656=1328P(\text{Same}) = P(RR) + P(BB) = (\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{4}{7}) + (\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{7}) = \frac{20}{56} + \frac{6}{56} = \frac{26}{56} = \frac{13}{28} Answer: 0.464 (or 13/28) [3 marks]

  2. Working: P(At least one)=1−P(None)=1−(1−0.7)(1−0.6)=1−(0.3×0.4)=1−0.12=0.88P(\text{At least one}) = 1 - P(\text{None}) = 1 - (1-0.7)(1-0.6) = 1 - (0.3 \times 0.4) = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88 Answer: 0.88 [3 marks]

  3. Working: P(C∪P)=P(C)+P(P)−P(C∩P)=0.6+0.5−0.3=0.8P(C \cup P) = P(C) + P(P) - P(C \cap P) = 0.6 + 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.8. P(Neither)=1−0.8=0.2P(\text{Neither}) = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2 Answer: 0.2 [3 marks]

  4. Working: (53)(0.5)3(0.5)2=10×0.125×0.25=0.3125\binom{5}{3} (0.5)^3 (0.5)^2 = 10 \times 0.125 \times 0.25 = 0.3125 Answer: 0.313 [3 marks]

  5. Working: P(X≤1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)=(100)(0.05)0(0.95)10+(101)(0.05)1(0.95)9≈0.5987+0.3151=0.9138P(X \le 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) = \binom{10}{0}(0.05)^0(0.95)^{10} + \binom{10}{1}(0.05)^1(0.95)^9 \approx 0.5987 + 0.3151 = 0.9138 Answer: 0.914 [4 marks]

  6. Working: P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)=0.4+0.5−0.7=0.2P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) = 0.4 + 0.5 - 0.7 = 0.2. Check independence: P(A)×P(B)=0.4×0.5=0.2P(A) \times P(B) = 0.4 \times 0.5 = 0.2. Since P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B), they are independent. Answer: Independent [4 marks]

  7. Working: (32)×(51)(83)=3×556=1556\frac{\binom{3}{2} \times \binom{5}{1}}{\binom{8}{3}} = \frac{3 \times 5}{56} = \frac{15}{56} Answer: 0.268 [4 marks]

  9. Working: np=4np = 4 and np(1−p)=3np(1-p) = 3. Divide: (1−p)=3/4  ⟹  p=0.25(1-p) = 3/4 \implies p = 0.25. n(0.25)=4  ⟹  n=16n(0.25) = 4 \implies n = 16. Answer: n=16,p=0.25n=16, p=0.25 [4 marks]

  10. Working: P(H∪K)=P(H)+P(K)−P(H∩K)=1352+452−152=1652=413P(H \cup K) = P(H) + P(K) - P(H \cap K) = \frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13} Answer: 0.308 [3 marks]
