ii) One extra data value was added to the sample. Find the standard deviation of all 37
values. [4]

2. The amounts of money, 𝑥 dollars, that 24 people had in their pockets are summarized by

4. An unbiased tetrahedral die has faces marked 1, 2, 3, 4. If the die lands on the face
marked 1, the player has to play 15 USD. If it lands on a face marked with a 2 or a 4, the
player wins 7 USD and if it lands on a 3, the player wins 4 USD. Find the expected gain in
one throw. [5]

5. In a simple model of the weather in October, each day is classified as either fine or
rainy. The probability that a fine day is followed by a fine day is 0.8. The probability that
a rainy day is followed by a fine day is 0.4. The probability that that 1October is fine is
0.75.

a) Find the probability that 2 October is fine and the probability that 3 October is
fine. [3]
b) Find the conditional probability that 3 October is rainy given that 1 October is
fine. [4]
c) Find the conditional probability that 1 October is fine, given that 3 October is
rainy. [4]

6. The probability that the school bus is on time on any particular day is 0.6. If the bus is

on time the probability that Sam the driver gets a cup of coffee is 0.9. If the bus is not on

time the probability that Sam gets a cup of coffee is 0.3.

i) Find the probability that Sam gets a cup of coffee. [3]

ii) Given that Sam does not get a cup of coffee, find the probability that that the

bus is not on time. [4]

denoted by the variable X, which has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.15. Mr Kuna
offers to pay $200 each time that a hole-in-one is scored during 5 days of play. Find the
expectation and variance of the amount that Mr Kuna pays. [4]

10.

that, in a random sample of 8 households, 5, 6 or 7 households have a
printer.. [4]
b) Use an approximation to find the probability that, in a random sample of 500
households, more than 337 households have a printer. [4]
c) Justify your use of the approximation in part (b). [1]
