A government agency was charged by the legislature with estimating the length of time it takes citizens to fill out various forms. Two hundred randomly selected adults were timed as they filled out a particular form. The times required had mean 12.8
minutes with standard deviation1.7 minutes. Construct a 90%
confidence interval for the mean time taken for all adults to fill out this form.
A magazine reported that 3% of Turkish drivers smoke while driving. If 300 drivers are selected at random,
find the probability that 4 or 5 drivers accept that they smoke while driving. Use all possible calculation methods
and justify them with sufficient explanation.
Distributed system is described as scalable when it remains effective when there is a
significant increase in the number of resources and the number of users. However, these
systems sometimes face performance bottlenecks.
How can these be avoided?
A University department has a file called exam marks which contains a list of
examination marks indexed by student names in alphabetical order. A student manages
to access the exam marks file. The student cannot read the file since it is encrypted.
However, they can work out the position of their own mark making use of the fact that
the students are listed in alphabetical order. The student swaps their mark with that of
the student who is always ‘top of the class’.

(b) probability that a reaction requires between 0.4 and 0.5 seconds.
