Secondary 4 Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answers)

Total = 20. Not red = 8 (blue) + 7 (green) = 15. $P = 15/20 = 3/4$ . [2 marks]
Prime numbers on a die: 2, 3, 5. $P = 3/6 = 1/2$ . [2 marks]
Sorted: 12, 12, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20. Median = 15. [2 marks]
Sum = 104. Mean = $104/7 \approx 14.9$ . [2 marks]
$P(\text{Heart}) = 13/52$ , $P(\text{King}) = 4/52$ , $P(\text{Heart and King}) = 1/52$ . $P = (13+4-1)/52 = 16/52 = 4/13$ . [2 marks]
Largest = Smallest + Range = $11 + 24 = 35$ . [2 marks]
$P(\text{Green}) = (1 - (1/4 + 1/3)) / 2 = (1 - 7/12) / 2 = (5/12) / 2 = 5/24$ . [2 marks]
$n(M \cup S) = 25 + 20 - 10 = 35$ . Neither = $40 - 35 = 5$ . $P = 5/40 = 1/8$ . [2 marks]
Mean = $(4+7+9+12+15)/5 = 9.2$ . $\sigma = \sqrt{[(4-9.2)^2 + (7-9.2)^2 + (9-9.2)^2 + (12-9.2)^2 + (15-9.2)^2]/5} = \sqrt{[27.04 + 4.84 + 0.04 + 7.84 + 33.64]/5} = \sqrt{14.68} \approx 3.83$ . [3 marks]
$\text{Mean} = [(5 \times 2) + (15 \times 5) + (25 \times 3)] / (2+5+3) = (10 + 75 + 75) / 10 = 160/10 = 16$ . [3 marks]
$\text{IQR} = Q_3 - Q_1 = 35 - 15 = 20$ . [2 marks]
Median is the 50th percentile. $0.5 \times 80 = 40$ plants. [2 marks]
Set A. Lower standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean, hence more consistent. [3 marks]
75th percentile position = $0.75 \times 120 = 90$ . Student reads the value on the x-axis corresponding to $y=90$ on the CF curve. [3 marks]
New Mean = $10 \times 2 = 20$ . New SD = $\sqrt{16} \times 2 = 4 \times 2 = 8$ . [3 marks]
Diagram: (H,H), (H,T), (T,H), (T,T). Favorable: (H,H), (H,T), (T,H). $P = 3/4$ . [3 marks]
$P(\text{B1}) = 6/10$ , $P(\text{B2}|\text{B1}) = 5/9$ . $P = (6/10) \times (5/9) = 30/90 = 1/3$ . [3 marks]
$P(\text{Umbrella}) = P(\text{Rain})P(\text{U}|\text{R}) + P(\text{No Rain})P(\text{U}|\text{NR}) = (0.3 \times 0.8) + (0.7 \times 0.2) = 0.24 + 0.14 = 0.38$ . [4 marks]
$P(\text{Red, Blue}) + P(\text{Blue, Red}) = (3/5 \times 2/5) + (2/5 \times 3/5) = 6/25 + 6/25 = 12/25$ . [3 marks]
$P(\text{Win}) = 1/10, P(\text{Lose}) = 9/10$ . Combinations: WLL, LWL, LLW. $P = 3 \times (1/10 \times 9/10 \times 9/10) = 3 \times (81/1000) = 243/1000$ . [4 marks]
