The probability that a patient recovers from delicate heart operation is 2 %. What is the probability that exactly 1+1 of the next 2 patients having this operation survive

RATSA is planning to enforce speed limits along Great North road by

using speed cameras at 4 different locations, L1, L2, L3 and L4. The

speed camera at L1 is operated 50% of the time, the speed camera at

L2 is operated 30% of the time, the speed camera at L3 is operated 20%

of the time and the speed camera at L4 is operated 40% of the time.

A person who is speeding from for work has probabilities 0.2, 0.1, 0.5

and 0.2 respectively, of passing through these locations.

(i) What is the probability that the person will receive a speed ticket?

(ii) If the person received the speed ticket, what is the probability

that it was at L3 where he violated speed limit rules?

A die is constructed in such a way that a 1 or 2 occurs twice as often
as a 5, which occurs three times as often as a 3,4, or 6. If the die is
tossed once, find the probability that
(a) the number is even;
(b) the number is a perfect square;
(c) the number is greater than 4.
Researchers are concerned about the impact of students working while they are enrolled in classes, and they’d like to know if students work too much and therefore are spending less time on their classes than they should be. First, the researchers need to find out, on average, how many hours a week students are working.
EV(6 marks)
3
They know from previous studies that the standard deviation of this variable is about 5 hours.
(i) A survey of 200 students provides a sample mean of 7.10 hours worked. 95% confidence interval based on this sample is 6.41 to 7.79.
Do you agreed with the researcher that the 95% confident interval of the unknown population mean of the students worked hours lies between 6.41 and 7.79?
Indicate whether the researchers are right or wrong, giving reasons for your answer.
A research firm conducted a survey to determine the mean amount of money smokers spend on cigarettes during a day. A sample of 100 smokers revealed that the sample mean is N$ 5.24 and sample standard deviation is N$ 2.18 Assume that the sample was drawn from a normal population.

2.1 Find the point estimate of the population mean.

2.2 Determine the lower limit of the 95% conference interval for estimating the unknown population
Suppose that the battery failure time. measured in hours, has a probability density
function given by:

f(x) =2/(x+1)), x>=0

The probability that the battery lasts longer than five hours is:
A veterinarian in the barangay wanted to determine the average number of pets. They got the following values.
1 5 2 2 4 1 2 2 4 3
a. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the population mean.
b. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean
A JODA wanted to determine the average distance their members travel in a day. Since the driver-members are always busy, the JODA only managed to obtain 25 answers out of 1000 drivers. They find that the sample mean is 105, and the population standard deviation is 15. Determine the 95% and 99% confidence interval.

A manufacturer makes 10 000 ball point pens per day and estimates that 150 will be defective.She decides that if a random sample of 20 pens contains more than one defective pen, then she will institute quality control measures. Find the probability that there are more than one defective.
