Example/Contoh 1 : 𝑛𝑝𝑞
The probability distribution of a random variable X as below
(a) Find the value of K X=x 2 3 4 5
(b) P( X ≥ 3) P(X = x) 0.2 0.1 0.3 K
Example/Contoh 2 :
An experiment tossing a biased coin for three times was carry out. H denotes the event of
obtaining the head and T denotes the even of obtaining the tail. The outcome of the experiment
and its probability are shown below:
Outcome TTT TTH THT HTT THH HTH HHT HHH
Probability 0.216 0.144 0.144 0.144 0.096 0.096 x 0.064
If getting heads is a success event, Find the value
of x and draw a binomial distribution graph for the
above experiment.
P(X=x)

The vertical line graph illustrates the distribution of X. Find 4k
(a) The value of k,
(b) P( X 3).
k
0 1 2 3 4
Example/Contoh 4 : 𝑥

1.5. Find the value
(a) k, if P ( X k ) = 0.1977 (b) P ( 17 < 2X 1 < 23)
Example/Contoh 6 :

area is 0.2881
(a) State the mean of the distribution
(b) Find the standard deviation of the distribution
Example/Contoh 7 :

variable X which is normally distributed with mean 45
and standard deviation 6. Find the value of h and k.

Example/Contoh 9 :
(a) The school football team held a training session on penalty shooting. Each player was given 6
trials. After the session, it was found that on the average, the mean for number of goals scored
by a player is 4. If a player is chosen at random, find the probability that a player
(i) Fails to score any goal,
(ii) Scores at least 5 goals.
Example/Contoh 11 :
A worker must arrive at his office before 0830 hours daily. The time taken to travel from his house
to his office is normally distributed with a mean of 40 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes.
(a) If he departs from his house at 0755, find the probability that he will arrive late at his
office.
(b) If he departs 0740 hours daily, calculate the days he will arrive late at his office during
300 working days.
(c) Find the probability that one third of the workers in that company arrive late at their
office, if they depart 0800 hours.
Example/Contoh 12 :
(a) In a study carried out in a college, one out of three students surf the internet every day.
(i) If five of the students is selected by random from the college, find the probability that
two or more of them surf the internet every day.
(ii) If a sample of 57 students is selected randomly from the college, calculate the mean and
standard deviation of the number of students that surf the internet every day.
(b) Besides that, another study about the grade point average of the students for first semester
examination is being carried out. The study shows that the grade point average of the students
in the college has a normal distribution with a mean of 3.672 and a variance of 0.2704.
(i) If a student is selected by random from the college, find the probability that the
student has a grade point average more than 3.75.
(ii) Find the percentage for the number of students with a grade point average in between of
3.0 and 3.75.
