(a) Odd numbers form an AP with \(a=1,d=2\): \(S_n=\tfrac n2(2+(n-1)2)=\tfrac n2(2n)=n^2\). (b) \(a=7,d=4\): \(S_{30}=15(14+29(4))=15(130)=1950\). (c) \(r=0.8\): \(\tfrac{100}{1-0.8}=500\). (d) \(7+(n-1)4>200\Rightarrow n>49.25\Rightarrow n=50\) (term \(=201\)).

(a) Define a simple random sample. (b) A company has 500 employees, each with a payroll number. Describe how to select a simple random sample of 50 employees. (c) State one advantage of stratified sampling over simple random sampling here.
查看答案详解

解题

(a) A simple random sample is one in which every possible sample of the required size has an equal chance of being selected (equivalently, every member has an equal chance of being chosen). (b) Number the employees 1–500; use random numbers (or a random-number generator) to select 50 distinct payroll numbers, ignoring repeats and any number above 500. (c) Stratified sampling ensures each subgroup (e.g. department or grade) is represented in proportion, reducing sampling bias.

Eight recorded times (in minutes) are \(12,15,15,18,20,22,25,30\). (a) Find the median. (b) Find the lower quartile, upper quartile and interquartile range. (c) Find the mean. (d) Find the standard deviation to 2 decimal places. (e) Using the rule that an outlier lies more than \(1.5\times\text{IQR}\) beyond a quartile, determine whether 30 is an outlier.
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Median \(=\tfrac{18+20}{2}=19\). (b) \(Q_1=15,\,Q_3=25,\,\text{IQR}=10\). (c) Mean \(=\tfrac{157}{8}=19.625\). (d) \(\sum x^2=3327\); variance \(=\tfrac{3327}{8}-19.625^2=30.73\); s.d. \(=5.54\). (e) \(Q_3+1.5(10)=40\); since \(30<40\), 30 is not an outlier.

The heights of adult plants are modelled by \(X\sim N(170,8^2)\) (in cm). (a) Find \(P(X>180)\). (b) Find \(P(165
查看答案详解

解题

(a) \(z=\tfrac{180-170}{8}=1.25\Rightarrow P(Z>1.25)=0.1056\). (b) \(z=\pm0.625\Rightarrow\Phi(0.625)-\Phi(-0.625)=0.7340-0.2660=0.4680\). (c) \(P(X>x)=0.10\Rightarrow z=1.2816\Rightarrow x=170+1.2816(8)=180.3\,\text{cm}\).

A spinner is claimed to land on red with probability greater than 0.4. (a) For \(X\sim B(15,0.4)\) find (i) \(P(X=6)\) and (ii) \(P(X\le4)\). (b) In 15 spins the spinner lands on red 10 times. Test, at the 5% significance level, whether the probability of red exceeds 0.4.

解题

(a)(i) \(\binom{15}{6}0.4^6 0.6^9=0.2066\). (ii) \(P(X\le4)=0.2173\). (b) \(H_0:p=0.4\), \(H_1:p>0.4\), \(X\sim B(15,0.4)\). \(P(X\ge10)=1-P(X\le9)=0.0338<0.05\), so reject \(H_0\): evidence that the probability of red exceeds 0.4.

Events \(A\) and \(B\) satisfy \(P(A)=0.5\), \(P(B)=0.4\) and \(P(A\cap B)=0.2\). (a) Find \(P(A\cup B)\). (b) Find \(P(A\mid B)\). (c) Determine, with justification, whether \(A\) and \(B\) are independent.
查看答案详解

解题

(a) \(P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.4-0.2=0.7\). (b) \(P(A\mid B)=\tfrac{0.2}{0.4}=0.5\). (c) \(P(A\cap B)=0.2\) and \(P(A)P(B)=0.5(0.4)=0.2\); equal, so \(A\) and \(B\) are independent.
