Question

The figure below shows the lengths in centimetres of fish found in the net of a small trawler.

Find the total number of fish in the net.[2]

a.

Find (i) the modal length interval,

(ii) the interval containing the median length,

(iii) an estimate of the mean length.[5]

b.

(i) Write down an estimate for the standard deviation of the lengths.

(ii) How many fish (if any) have length greater than three standard deviations above the mean?[3]

c.

The fishing company must pay a fine if more than 10% of the catch have lengths less than 40cm.

Do a calculation to decide whether the company is fined.[2]

d.

A sample of 15 of the fish was weighed. The weight, W was plotted against length, L as shown below.

Exactly two of the following statements about the plot could be correct. Identify the two correct statements.

Note: You do not need to enter data in a GDC or to calculate r exactly.

(i) The value of r, the correlation coefficient, is approximately 0.871.

(ii) There is an exact linear relation between W and L.

(iii) The line of regression of W on L has equation W = 0.012L + 0.008 .

(iv) There is negative correlation between the length and weight.

(v) The value of r, the correlation coefficient, is approximately 0.998.

(vi) The line of regression of W on L has equation W = 63.5L + 16.5.[2]

Can award (A1)(ft) or (G2)(ft) for 65 if (A0) was awarded for 65 in part (i).

(iii) mean is \(\frac{{2 \times 25 + 3 \times 35 + 5 \times 45 + 7 \times 55 + …}}{{51}}\)     (M1)

(UP) = 69.5 cm (3sf)     (A1)(ft)(G1)

Note: (M1) is for a sum of (frequencies multiplied by midpoint values) divided by candidate’s answer from part (a). Accept mid-points 25.5, 35.5 etc or 24.5, 34.5 etc, leading to answers 70.0 or 69.0 (3sf) respectively. Answers of 69.0, 69.5 or 70.0 (3sf) with no working can be awarded (G1).[5 marks]

b.

Unit penalty (UP) is applicable where indicated in the left hand column.

(UP) (i) standard deviation is 21.8 cm     (G1)

For any other answer without working, award (G0). If working is present then (G0)(AP) is possible.

(ii) \(69.5 + 3 \times 21.8 = 134.9 > 120\)     (M1)

no fish     (A1)(ft)(G1)

For ‘no fish’ without working, award (G1) regardless of answer to (c)(i). Follow through from (c)(i) only if method is shown.[3 marks]

5 fish are less than 40 cm in length,     (M1)

Award (M1) for any of \(\frac{5}{51}\), \(\frac{46}{51}\), 0.098 or 9.8%, 0.902, 90.2% or 5.1 seen.

Question

Jorge conducted a survey of \(200\) drivers. He asked two questions:

How long have you had your driving licence?
Do you wear a seat belt when driving?

The replies are summarized in the table below.

Jorge applies a \({\chi ^2}\) test at the \(5\% \) level to investigate whether wearing a seat belt is associated with the time a driver has had their licence.

(i)     Write down the null hypothesis, \({{\text{H}}_0}\).

(ii)    Write down the number of degrees of freedom.

(iii)   Show that the expected number of drivers that wear a seat belt and have had their driving licence for more than \(15\) years is \(22\), correct to the nearest whole number.

(iv)   Write down the \({\chi ^2}\) test statistic for this data.

(v)    Does Jorge accept \({{\text{H}}_0}\) ? Give a reason for your answer.[8]

Question

Tomek is attending a conference in Singapore. He has both trousers and shorts to wear. He also has the choice of wearing a tie or not.

Question

A company performs an experiment on the efficiency of a liquid that is used to detect a nut allergy.

A group of 60 people took part in the experiment. In this group 26 are allergic to nuts. One person from the group is chosen at random.

A second person is chosen from the group.

When the liquid is added to a person’s blood sample, it is expected to turn blue if the person is allergic to nuts and to turn red if the person is not allergic to nuts.

The company claims that the probability that the test result is correct is 98% for people who are allergic to nuts and 95% for people who are not allergic to nuts.

It is known that 6 in every 1000 adults are allergic to nuts.

Question

On one day 180 flights arrived at a particular airport. The distance travelled and the arrival status for each incoming flight was recorded. The flight was then classified as on time, slightly delayed, or heavily delayed.

The results are shown in the following table.

A χ2 test is carried out at the 10 % significance level to determine whether the arrival status of incoming flights is independent of the distance travelled.

The critical value for this test is 7.779.

A flight is chosen at random from the 180 recorded flights.

The first wall has four doors with a trap behind one door.

Ayako is a contestant.

Natsuko is the second contestant.

The second wall has five doors with a trap behind two of the doors.

The third wall has six doors with a trap behind three of the doors.

The following diagram shows the branches of a probability tree diagram for a contestant in the game.

Write down the probability that Ayako avoids the trap in this wall.[1]

a.

Find the probability that only one of Ayako and Natsuko falls into a trap while attempting to pass through a door in the first wall.[3]

b.

Copy the probability tree diagram and write down the relevant probabilities along the branches.[3]

c.

A contestant is chosen at random. Find the probability that this contestant fell into a trap while attempting to pass through a door in the second wall.[2]

d.i.

A contestant is chosen at random. Find the probability that this contestant fell into a trap.[3]

d.ii.

120 contestants attempted this game.

Find the expected number of contestants who fell into a trap while attempting to pass through a door in the third wall.[3]

Question

In a company it is found that 25 % of the employees encountered traffic on their way to work. From those who encountered traffic the probability of being late for work is 80 %.

From those who did not encounter traffic, the probability of being late for work is 15 %.

The tree diagram illustrates the information.

The company investigates the different means of transport used by their employees in the past year to travel to work. It was found that the three most common means of transport used to travel to work were public transportation (P ), car (C ) and bicycle (B ).

The company finds that 20 employees travelled by car, 28 travelled by bicycle and 19 travelled by public transportation in the last year.

Some of the information is shown in the Venn diagram.

There are 54 employees in the company.

Write down the value of a.[1]

a.i.

Write down the value of b.[1]

a.ii.

Use the tree diagram to find the probability that an employee encountered traffic and was late for work.[2]

b.i.

Use the tree diagram to find the probability that an employee was late for work.[3]

b.ii.

Use the tree diagram to find the probability that an employee encountered traffic given that they were late for work.[3]

b.iii.

Find the value of x.[1]

c.i.

Find the value of y.[1]

c.ii.

Find the number of employees who, in the last year, did not travel to work by car, bicycle or public transportation.[2]
