Mboma and Masilingi race against each other in a competition. If one of them wins the race, there will
be no more race, but if the race is a draw, they run another race. They run a maximum of three races.
Each time they race, the probability that Mboma wins is 0.45 and the probability that there is a draw is
0.08.
4.1.1 Draw the tree diagram that present all possible outcomes of this competition and their
probabilities [7]
4.1.2 Calculate the probability that Masilingi wins the competition. [4]
A family has two dogs (Rex and Rover) and a cat called Garfield. None of them is fond of the postman. If

they are outside, the probability that Rex, Rover and Garfield will attack the postman are 30%, 40% and

15%, respectively. Only one is outside at time, with probabilities 10%, 20% and 70%, respectively.

If the postman is attacked, what is the probability that Rex was the culprit? [

A box of a dozen mechanical components contains 7 good components and 5 bad components.Β Mr. Mechanical Engineer is preparing machine design for his four projects.Β One component is required per machine. He randomly selects 4 components from the box.


a. What is the probability that the Mr. Mechanical Engineer got at most one bad component?


b. What is the probability that Mr. Mechanical Engineer will have to get components from the box again?


Decide whether the following probability density function is a member of an exponential family
P(x,a)=a^x(1-a)^(1-x)0<a<1,x={0,1}

A Coca-Cola machine is made in such a way that it dispenses 500ml of coke per pet bottle drink. Suppose it is known that the amount of coke dispensed follows a normal distribution with mean 500 and variance 400.

a) You enter a spaza shop where you take a 500 ml bottle of coke from the fridge to drink at the premises. What is the probability that the bottle you select contain more than 550 ml of coke? (4)

b) Belowhowmanymillilitresdoyouget25%ofthedrinks? (5)

c) Suppose you further select, nine of the 500 ml bottles of coke from the fridge to bring your relatives at home. What is the probability that the all the nine bottles contain at least 4950 ml of coke? (5)

d) What is the probability that the mean contents of the selected nine bottles will be at least 440ml and at most 520 ml. (6)

e) Below what mean value do you find 25% of the sampled average content? (5)
