7 The manager ofa factory claims that his workers take an average of 3,5 minutes to complete a
particular task. Sixty workers are randomly chosen and the time taken, x minutes, of each worker
is measured. The results are summarised by lx:216, ZQ-i)2 =S.at.

(i) Calculate unbiased estimates ofthe population mean and variaoce ofthe time taken. t2l
(ii) Test, at the 1% level of signifrcance, whether the manager has understated the average time
taken. You should state your hlpotheses and define any syrnbols you use. t5]
(iii) Explain the meaning of 'at the |Y6level of significance' in the context of the question. []
Another n workers in the same factory are randomly chosen and combined with the sixty workers
into a single sample. For the combined single sample, it is known that the mean time taken is
3.55 minutes.

(iv) Given that the manager's claim is not rejected for a 2-tail test at the 10% level of significance,
find the largest value of n. You may assume that the unbiased estimate of the population
variance ofthe time taken ranains unchanged. t4l

8 An air force consists of of fighter planes. Each plane carries and releases 8 bombs

a plane to hit an enemy target to be well modelled by a binomial distribution. l2l
Assume now thag X, the number of bombs from a plane hitting an enemy target has a binomial
distribution.

(ii) If E(X)+Var(X)=6.5, show that p=0.567 corectto 3 decimal places. t2l

9 In this question you should state the parameters of any distribution you use.

A company operates a call cenke which offers call-in technical support service for ther
customers. The customer calling in will be placed on a queue before a technical support ofEcer
can render the service.

The waiting time of a randomly chosen call, in minutes, is normally distributed with mean and
standard deviation as given in the following table.

Mean Standard deviation

Peak hows 9 1.5
Off-peak hours J 0.5

The time taken by the technical officers to render the service to a randomly chosen customer, in
minutes, is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation as given in the following table.

Mean Standard deviation

Minor problem 15 5
Intermediate problem 30 10

The time taken to resolve the problem for a customer is the sum of the waiting time and the time
taken to render the service. You may assume that the waiting and service times are independent
of each other.

(i) Find ttre probability that a randomly chosen customer who calls in during off-peak hours
for a minor problem can resolve his problem in less than 20 minutes. t2)
(ii) Find the probability that out of 3 randomly chosen customers who call in during off-peak
hours for a minor problem, at least one customer can resolve his probiem in less than 20
minutes. l2l
(iii) A group of 5 randomly chosen customers call during off-peak hours and face a minor
problem. Another group of5 randomly chosen customers call during peak hours and face
an intermediate problem. Find the probability that the difference between the average time
taken by each group of customers to resolve the problem is at most 30
minutes. L4l

The company decides to send its technical support officers for training. After the training, the
time taken by the technical support officers to render the service for an intermediate problem has
the distribution N(p, &).It is found that the time spent on 8% of the problems serviced by the
offrcers is less than 16 minutes, while 20% of the problems require more than 34 minutes.

(iv) Find the value of p and of o, giving your answerc corect to 3 significant frgures. Justifu

l0 In every round of a television quiz, a contestant is given one sample each from four different
brands of instant noodles. The task is to match the sample to its brand correctly in a blind taste
test. Since the samples look and taste similar, it may be assumed that the contestant guesses
randornly.

(i) Write down the total number of distinct ways that a contestant can make a guess. tl]
(ii) Show that the number of distinct ways for a contestant to correctly guess exactly two out of
the four brands is6. []
The random variable Xrepresents the number of samples which a contestant matches correctly to
its respective brand.

(iii) Explain why P(X = 3) = 0. t1l

(iv) Find the values ofq and r. Hence show that p=t. l2l

For each sample matched conectly to its brand in each round, a contestant is given $50.

(v) Find the expectation and variance of the prize money won by a contestant in the first round
of the contest. t3l

A contestant who matches correctly all four samples to their brands in the first round will advance
to play the second round, otherwise, the quiz will terminate at the end ofthe first round. Thus a
contestant can play at most 2 rounds in the quiz.

(vi) Find the expected total prize money a contestant will eam. t2)
