10. A chemical spill from a pharmaceuticat plant causes a disturbance in the steady
population of irshes in a river. The total number of fishes (in thousands) in the river t
days after the spill isy, urd1,x is the initial steady comtant population.
y
It may be assumed that the natural population growth rate of the fishes is , ana
lyo
that the fishes are dying ar a rate of
' {t+5 au" to thc chemical spill. At the same time,

in an attempt to balance the number of fishes, environmentalists decided to release

1000 new fishes every day into the river, immediately after the spill'

(i) Show that the fsh population in the river immediatety after the chemical spill
can be modelled by the difrerential equation

dy tl+(y-y)t+5(t-n) [2

By using thc substi$tion I - lo = st , show that the above differential equation

can be reduced to

(iii) Given funher that thc total number of fishcs in the river retums to }t after l0

Using this method, the population will be divided into
non-ovedapping represntative strata like income group &
age group. Then houdrolds are selected randomly from
each stratum to be intervicrred. In this way, the mrnple is
more represntative ofthe popul6tion and hcnce gives

960 g ofcookies and one contains less than 960 g ofcookies.

(d) The label on a small packet ofcookies reads .llet mass : 715 grams". A trading
standard offrcer insists that at least 90olo ofsuch packets should contain cookiei with

lf(a) A department store rcported that over the past six months, the average amormt spent per
customer has been $215 with standard deviation of $100. The store carried out a sales
promotion for a week on a range of products. In order to test, at 5o/o level of significance,
whether or not the sales pmmotion has increased the average amount spent per customer, a
random sample bf 100 customers visiting tlre store during the sales promotion week was
taken. The amorurt spent per customer was recorded.

State, with a rcason, whether, in performing the above test, it is necessary to assume that the
amount spent pr customer follows a normal distribution. tll
Write down the null and alternative hypotheses under test. Show that the null hypothesis is

(b) Based on past results, the average score in a round obtained by a golfer was 88 poins. In
order to improve his skills in golf (i.e. make his score smaller), he attended a series of golf

summarized by :
),t,-to) =ots, l{,-to)' = 47343.

(D Calculate unbiased estimates ofthe population mean and variarrce.

Carry out an appropriate test to establish whether or not the lessons had sigrrificantly
produced, at the l0% level, a signifrcant improvement in his skills in golf (i.e. hed
mede his scores q!!g).
State an assumption made in using the test that you have chosen. t61

(iD Suppose the data from the 8 rounds had been such that the unbiased estimate of
'popuiation'variarae as found in (i) was larger, but without changing the sample mean.
State, with a reason, whether this would have an effect on the conclusion of the test.

Most rate of returns of fund flrrchrates from year to year, rc probably not a good model.
The retums are normally compounded over discrete time interval (uually years) raflrer

practical assessment. The marks obtained by the students taking the examination are
normally distributed, with means and standard deviations as shown in the following table.

(ii) in a period of 5 weeks, no dengue fever cases occur on
at most 3 ofthe weeks, I21

deviation, o, of the distribution. t3l

to be used one after the other in this frtting. calculate, to two decimal places, the
probability that the total life is more than 3300 hours. t2l

In order to ensure the quality of the milk is maintained, the quality control team
takes a sample of 50 c.n< of milk for testing during each shift
(i) The team takes 50 cans of milk produced from the first hour ofeach shift.
Explain why this method of sampling is not appropriate. I2l
(ii) Describe a suitable sampling method for the above - I2l
(b) A private hospital a.lmits an average of 85 patients daily with a standard
deviation of 35. In a sample 30 days, what is the probability that the mean
number of daily admission is less than 95 ? t3I
If there is a probability of unre than 0.75 that the mean number of daily admission

is between 80 and 90, find the least value ofthe sample size, t51

l0 (a) In a particular workshop, it is claimed that the masses of components produced

have mean 69 and standard deviation 0.8g. If this claim is not rejected at the 50%

level of significance based on the mean mass obtained from a random sample of
l0 components, between wlEt values must the mean mass of the l0 components
in the sample lie? State any assumptions necesv4r for validity. I4t
(b) The manufacturer ofthe workshop replaced the old machines with new machines.
The manufacturer claimed that the masses ofthe components produced by the
new machines are not less than 6g. Based on a sample of 10 components,

)tr-+l=14 and ){r-a)' =26-7 were obtained. Given that the masses of
the components follow a normal distributiorq carry out a test at 59lo level of
signifigance to determine whether the claim is justified.

ll (a) Explain why it is advisable to plot a scatter diagram before interpreting a

correlation coefficient calculated for a sample drawn from a bivariate
distribution.
Sketch scatter diagrams indicating the following
(i) a linear product moment correlation coeffrcient close to zerq
but with an obvious relation between the variables.
(ii) a linear product moment correlation coefficient close to +1,

but without a high degree ofconelation between the variables.

Since the population width is normally distributed, we carD/ out a two+ailed r-test at

Let X be the random variable representing the width, in mm, of a beetle of 'genus
prometheus' species.
H,: p -11.5

Since o2 is unknown, and z is small, we estimate o2 by ,'.
Significance level is a = 0.05 .

estimate of the population variance,

Using a T-test,
p-value : 0. 170 (using GC)
Conclusion:
Since thep-value:0.170 > 0.05, we do not reject f/0.
There is sufficient evidence to support the claim p * I I .5 at the 5oz significance level.

10 In order to diagnose a certain disease in adults, the hormone levels of these adults are
measured. Past studies have shown that it can be assumed that the hormone level ofan
adult is normally distributed with mean 35 units and standard deviation 7 units. An
adult is classified as healthy if his hormonc level is in the range (22, 48). Otherwise
he is classified as unhealthy.

Find the probability that a randomly chosen adult is healthy. tll

(b) (Monte Hall Problem)

in the popular game show "Let's Make A Deal" which was hosted by Monte Hall,
the stage was set with lhree doors. Behind each door was a prize. One prize was
very d&irable and valuable. The rernaining two prizes were undesirable. After the
contestant selected a door, another door was opened to show an undesirable prize
(the host knew where the desirable prize was) and the contestant was given the
choice between the already selected door or lhe other door that had not been
opened. Should the contestant switch doors? Why? l2l

10 The demand for orp cakes in a cafeteria may be taken to follow a Poisson distribution
with mean 0.6 per hour. The cafeteria opens for 5 days in a week and operates for 10
hours per day.
(D Find the pIobatility that the demand for cup cakes is at least 5 in a day.
(ii) Find the probaulity that there is at most 1 day with zero demand for cup cakes in13]a
week. (Give your answer conecl to 4 decimal places.) I3l
(iii) Given that the demand for cup cakes is exactly 6 on a particular day, find the
probability that this occuned within the first half ofthe day.

I1l
A teacher suspects that the students in her school are not having enough steep and
hence face the dffiorlty of staying awake du,irg lessons. She surveyed 6g of them ard
found out the number of sleeping hours each of them has on an average school day.
The data gathered was as follows:

No. of sleeping hours No. of students

3 0
4 4
5 22
6 30
7 8
8 4

Find the unbiased estimates of the population mean p and variance d of

number of sleeping hours the students have.

Find a 90% conlidence interval for p.

A symmetric (100 - G)o/o confidence interval is found to be (5.Sg , 6.00). Find o.

distribution, show that the mean p and the standard deviation o of the disiribution are
related by p=50+0.&42o. pl
