Marking: M1 for correct formula; M1 for correct substitution; A1 for correct answer.

13. X ~ B(4, 0.5)
P(X = 2) = ⁴C₂ (0.5)² (0.5)² = 6 × 0.25 × 0.25 = 6 × 0.0625 = 0.375

Marking: M1 for binomial formula; M1 for correct substitution; A1 for correct answer.

14. X ~ B(5, 0.25)
P(X ≥ 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = 4) = ⁵C₄ (0.25)⁴ (0.75)¹ = 5 × 0.00390625 × 0.75 = 0.01465
P(X = 5) = ⁵C₅ (0.25)⁵ (0.75)⁰ = 1 × 0.0009766 × 1 = 0.0009766
P(X ≥ 3) ≈ 0.08789 + 0.01465 + 0.0009766 = 0.1035 ≈ 0.104

P(X = 8) = ¹⁰C₈ (0.85)⁸ (0.15)²
¹⁰C₈ = ¹⁰C₂ = 45
(0.85)⁸ ≈ 0.2725, (0.15)² = 0.0225
P(X = 8) = 45 × 0.2725 × 0.0225 ≈ 0.2759 ≈ 0.276
Answer: 0.276 (3 s.f.) [3]
Marking: M1 for binomial formula; M1 for correct substitution; A1 for correct answer to 3 s.f.

20. Tree diagram:

  • First draw: P(White) = 4/10 = 2/5, P(Black) = 6/10 = 3/5

    • If first Black: P(White) = 4/9, P(Black) = 5/9

P(different colours) = P(W then B) + P(B then W)
= (2/5 × 2/3) + (3/5 × 4/9) = 4/15 + 12/45 = 4/15 + 4/15 = 8/15
