b) Determine the value of n such that the probability that the number of patients who
recover is at least n is 0.95. [6 marks]

END OF QUESTION PAPER

Answers:
SECTION A
1. (a) 7 (b) 0.9544.
2. The average weight is 5.92 kg. the percentage approximately 61.03%
3. (a) r = 0.9816
(b) equation of the regression line is:
Y = 28.92 + 7.917X

SECTION B
1. (a) 0.8 (b) not independent (c) 0.6
2. (a) i. 0.1859 ii. 0.0950 iii. 0.0271 (b) λ = 12 and P(X = 5) = 0.01274
3. (a) 0.91222 (b) 110
4. (a) 0.05 (b) 0.125 (c) 0.5
5. (a) 90 (b) 6
6. (a) 0.1587 (b) 58.42 kg
7. (a) r =0.9788
Interpret: There is a strong positive linear correlation relationship between the number of
hours students spend studying for an exam and their corresponding grades.
(b) Coefficient of determination,r2=(0.9788)2
=95.80%
Interpret: 0.9580 means that 95.80% of the variation in their corresponding grades
explained by the number of hours studied and 4.2% of the variation in their
corresponding grades is caused by the other factors.
(c) The linear regression equation is y=59.7403+4.8425x
Interpret: The value of b means that for every unit (1 hour) increase in the number of
hours students spend studying for an exam, there is an increase of 4.8425 in their
corresponding grades..
