Answers

Secondary 4 Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Statistics & Probability

Section A (Q1–5, 1 mark each)

1. Answer: $\frac{5}{8}$
Teaching note: Total balls = 5 + 3 = 8. Favourable = 5 red. $P(\text{red}) = \frac{5}{8}$ .
Common mistake: Forgetting to simplify or using 5/3.

2. Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$
Teaching note: Even numbers on a die: 2, 4, 6 → 3 outcomes of 6. $P = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

3. Answer: 40
Teaching note: Sum all cells: (8+10+4)+(6+5+7) = 22 + 18 = 40.

4. Answer: 0.7
Teaching note: Mutually exclusive → $P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7$ .

5. Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$
Teaching note: 2 blue out of 4 equal sections → $\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Section B (Q6–12, 2 marks each)

6. Answer: 4
Working: $n(B \cup L) = 18 + 15 - 7 = 26$ . Neither = 30 - 26 = 4.
Marking: 1 mark for union, 1 mark for neither.

7. Answer: 4.625 kg (or $4\frac{5}{8}$ kg)
Working: Sum = 2+5+3+7+5+4+6+5 = 37. Mean = $37 \div 8 = 4.625$ .

8. Answer: 5 kg
Working: Ordered: 2,3,4,5,5,5,6,7. Middle two = 5 and 5. Median = $(5+5)/2 = 5$ .

9. Answer: Outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT; Probability = $\frac{1}{2}$
Working: 2 heads, 1 head, 1 head, 0 heads. Exactly one head = HT, TH → 2/4 = 1/2.

10. Answer: 40 students
Working: MRT angle = 120° out of 360°. Fraction = $120/360 = 1/3$ . $1/3 \times 120 = 40$ .
Visual needed: Pie chart with MRT sector 120°.

11. Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$
Working: First white = 6/10. Without replacement, second white = 5/9. $P = \frac{6}{10} \times \frac{5}{9} = \frac{30}{90} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

12. Answer: 19
Working: Scores: 23,25,28,31,34,34,39,40,42. Max = 42, min = 23. Range = 42 - 23 = 19.

Section C (Q13–20, 3 marks each)

13.
(a) Venn: Two overlapping circles M and S in rectangle ξ=50. M only=10, S only=15, both=10, outside=15.
(b) $P(\text{M only}) = 10/50 = 1/5$ .
(c) $P(\text{neither}) = 15/50 = 3/10$ .
Marking: (a) 1 mark diagram, (b) 1 mark, (c) 1 mark.

14. Answer: 60 km/h
Working: $\sum fx = 50\times1 + 55\times2 + 60\times3 + 65\times3 + 70\times1 = 50+110+180+195+70 = 605$ . Mean = $605 \div 10 = 60.5$ → round to 60.5? Actually exact = 60.5. State 60.5 km/h.
Correction: Mean = 60.5 km/h.

15. Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$
Working: Total = 10. Green = 5. With replacement: $5/10 \times 5/10 = 25/100 = 1/4$ .

16. Answer: 5 books
Working: Values: 2,4,5,7,9. Median (middle) = 5.
Visual needed: Bars A=4,B=7,C=2,D=9,E=5.

17. Answer: $P(X \cap Y)=0.15$ , $P(X \cup Y)=0.65$
Working: Independent → $P(X \cap Y)=0.5\times0.3=0.15$ . $P(X \cup Y)=0.5+0.3-0.15=0.65$ .

18.
(a) $14/20 = 7/10$ .
(b) $75\% \times 20 = 15$ .
Marking: (a) 1 mark, (b) 1 mark, context 1 mark.

19.
(a) Mode = 15 cm (appears twice).
(b) Mean = (12+15+10+18+15+14+16)/7 = 100/7 ≈ 14.3 cm.
(c) >14 cm: 15,18,15,16 = 4 of 7 → $4/7$ .
Marking: 1 each.

20.
(a) Tree: Root → A,B,C each prob 1/3; each branches to A,B,C.
(b) At least one A: total 9 outcomes, no A = 4 (BB,BC,CB,CC) → 5/9.
(c) Different: AA,BB,CC are same (3); different = 6/9 = 2/3.
Marking: (a) 1, (b) 1, (c) 1.
