Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. In particular, solutions found from a graphic display
calculator should be supported by suitable working, e.g. if graphs are used to find a solution, you
should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given
for a correct method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show
all working.

Section A
Answer all questions in the space provided. Working may be continued below the lines if necessary.

9. [Maximum mark: 18]

A large farm produces eggs that are packaged in boxes with 12 eggs in each box. The
probability that a single egg is cracked is 0.017. A random box is selected and the 12 eggs
in it are inspected.

(a) Find the probability that exactly one egg in the box is cracked. [2]

(b) A box fails inspection if at least two eggs in it are cracked. Find the probability that
the randomly selected box passes (does not fail) inspection. [3]

The weights of individual eggs are normally distributed with a mean of 58 grams and a
standard deviation of 4.7 grams. Before the eggs are packed in boxes a very large number
of them are placed in a sorting bin.

(c) One egg is chosen at random from the bin. Find the probability that this egg

(i) weighs less than 64 grams;

(ii) weighs between 52 grams and 64 grams. [4]

(d) 10% of the eggs in the bin weigh less than w grams.

(i) Copy and complete the following normal distribution diagram, to represent this
information, by indicating w, and shading the appropriate region.

(ii) Find the value of w. [4]

(e) An egg selected from the sorting bin is accepted to be put into a box if its weight
lies between 52 grams and 64 grams. 12 eggs are randomly selected from the
sorting bin. Find the probability that all the eggs are accepted to be put in a box. [2]

(f) Eggs from the farm are either white or brown. The colour of an egg has no effect on
its weight. The probability an egg is white is 0.28. Find the probability that an egg
randomly selected from the sorting bin is accepted to be put in a box and is brown. [3]
