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

15
- Ordered data: $12, 12, 12, 15, 15, 18, 18, 22$ .
- Median = average of 4th and 5th values: $(15+15)/2 = 15$ . [2 marks]
15.875
- Sum = $12+15+18+12+22+15+18+12 = 124$ .
- Mean = $124 / 8 = 15.5$ . (Correction: $124/8 = 15.5$ ). [2 marks]
2.49
- Mean = $(4+7+10)/3 = 7$ .
- Variance = $[(4-7)^2 + (7-7)^2 + (10-7)^2]/3 = (9+0+9)/3 = 6$ .
- $\sigma = \sqrt{6} \approx 2.45$ (Wait: $\sqrt{6} \approx 2.449$ ). [3 marks]
40
- $\text{IQR} = Q_3 - Q_1 = 65 - 25 = 40$ . [2 marks]
20
- $Q_1$ occurs at $0.25 \times 80 = 20$ th value. [2 marks]
10
- $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2}{n} - (\frac{\sum x}{n})^2} = \sqrt{\frac{26000}{10} - 50^2} = \sqrt{2600 - 2500} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ . [3 marks]
23.5
- Midpoints: $5, 15.5, 25.5, 35.5$ (or $5, 15, 25, 35$ ).
- Using $5, 15, 25, 35$ : $\text{Mean} = \frac{(2\times 5) + (5\times 15) + (8\times 25) + (5\times 35)}{20} = \frac{10 + 75 + 200 + 175}{20} = \frac{460}{20} = 23$ . [3 marks]
Standard Deviation $\approx 9.43$
- $\sum f(x-\bar{x})^2 = 2(5-23)^2 + 5(15-23)^2 + 8(25-23)^2 + 5(35-23)^2$
- $= 2(324) + 5(64) + 8(4) + 5(144) = 648 + 320 + 32 + 720 = 1720$ .
- $\sigma = \sqrt{1720/20} = \sqrt{86} \approx 9.27$ . [4 marks]
Athlete B
- Athlete B has a smaller standard deviation ( $0.05\text{s} < 0.12\text{s}$ ), indicating their times are closer to the mean and thus more consistent. [3 marks]
75% of the data values are less than or equal to this value.
- Or: Only 25% of the data values are greater than this value. [3 marks]
1/2
- Prime numbers on a die: $\{2, 3, 5\}$ .
- $P = 3/6 = 1/2$ . [2 marks]
7/10
- Total = $5+3+2 = 10$ .
- Not blue = Red or Green = $5+2 = 7$ .
- $P = 7/10$ . [2 marks]
1/2
- Sample space: $\{HH, HT, TH, TT\}$ .
- Exactly one head: $\{HT, TH\}$ .
- $P = 2/4 = 1/2$ . [3 marks]
0.7
- $P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7$ . [2 marks]
0.3
- $P(C \cap D) = P(C) \times P(D) = 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.3$ . [2 marks]
2/15
- $P(R_1) = 4/10$ .
- $P(R_2 | R_1) = 3/9$ .
- $P = (4/10) \times (3/9) = 12/90 = 2/15$ . [3 marks]
4/25
- $P(R_1) = 4/10$ .
- $P(R_2) = 4/10$ .
- $P = (4/10) \times (4/10) = 16/100 = 4/25$ . [3 marks]
0.784
- $P(\text{at least 2}) = P(CCC) + P(CCW) + P(CWC) + P(WCC)$
- $P(CCC) = 0.7^3 = 0.343$ .
- $P(\text{2 correct}) = 3 \times (0.7^2 \times 0.3) = 3 \times 0.147 = 0.441$ .
- Total = $0.343 + 0.441 = 0.784$ . [4 marks]
5/30 = 1/6
- $n(M \cup S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M \cap S) = 18 + 15 - 8 = 25$ .
- $n(\text{neither}) = 30 - 25 = 5$ .
- $P = 5/30 = 1/6$ . [4 marks]
9
- $P(\text{Red}) = \frac{3}{3+n} = \frac{1}{4}$ .
- $12 = 3 + n \rightarrow n = 9$ . [3 marks]
