1. (8 points) Andrew will play in the semi-final of a tennis tournament.

If Andrew wins the semi-final he will progress to the final.
If Andrew loses the semi-final, he will not progress to the final.
If Andrew wins the final, he will be the champion.
The probability that Andrew will win the semi-final is p. If Andrew wins the semi-final, then the probability he will be
the champion is 0.6.
The probability that Andrew will not be the champion is 0.58.
(a) Find the value of p.
(b) Given that Andrew did not become the champion, find the probability that he lost in the semi-final.

2. (7 points) In a city, the number of passengers, X, who ride in a taxi has the following probability distribution.

After the opening of a new highway that charges a toll, a taxi company introduces a charge for passengers who use the
highway. The charge is $2.40 per taxi plus $1.20 per passenger. Let T represent the amount, in dollars, that is charged
by the taxi company per ride.
(a) Find E(T ).
(b) Given that V ar(X) = 0.8419, find V ar(T ).

3. (18 points) The weights, in grams, of individual packets of co↵ee can be modeled by a normal distribution, with mean
102 g and standard deviation 8 g.
(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected packet has a weight less than 100 g.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected packet has a weight greater than w grams is 0.444. Find the value of w.

(c) A packet is randomly selected. Given that the packet has a weight greater than 105 g, find the probability that it
has a weight greater than 110 g.

(d) From a random sample of 500 packets, determine the number of packets that would be expected to have a weight
lying within 1.5 standard deviations of the mean.

(e) Packets are delivered to supermarkets in batches of 80. Suppose a randomly selected batch has at least one packet
with weight more than 105 g. Determine the probability that at most 20 packets from that batch have a weight
more than 105 g.

4. (7 points) The following table below shows the marks scored by seven students on two di↵erent mathematics tests.

Let L1 be the regression line of y on x and L2 be the regression line of x on y.

(a) The lines L1 and L2 pass through the same point with coordinates (p, q). Find p and q.
(b) Jenny was absent for the first test but scored 29 marks on the second test. Use an appropriate regression equation
to estimate Jenny’s mark on the first test.

5. (10 points) Each athlete on a running team recorded the distance (M miles) they ran in 30 minutes.
The median distance is 4 miles and the interquartile range is 1.1 miles.
This information is shown in the following box-and-whisker plot.

8
The distance in miles, M can be converted to the distance in kilometres, K using the formula K = M .
5
16
The variance of the distances run by the athletes is km2 .
9
The standard deviation of the distances is b miles.

A total of 600 athletes from di↵erent teams compete in a 5 km race. The times the 600 athletes took to run the 5 km
race are shown in the following cumulative frequency graph.

There were 400 athletes who took between 22 and m minutes to complete the 5 km race.
(a) Find the value of a and b.
(b) Find m.
(c) Running times of more than p minutes are considered outliers. Find the value of p.
(d) The first 150 athletes that completed the race won a prize.
Given that an athlete took between 22 and m minutes to complete the 5 km race, calculate the probability that
they won a prize.
