QUESTION 1

a) Explain the Binomial distribution. Hence, give a situation of it. (Use your own words)

(5 marks)
b) Explain the Normal distribution. Hence, give a situation of it. (Use your own words)
(5 marks)

QUESTION 2

a) A machine produces component with an average length of 100cm and standard deviation of 5
cm. The lengths are normally distributed. If a component is chosen at random, find the
probability that the length is:

i) more than 105cm


(3 marks)
ii) less than 90cm
(3 marks)
iii) between 90cm and 105cm
(4 marks)

b) Scores on a certain college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 60
marks and variance of 100 marks.

i) Find the probability that a student will score less than 50 marks.
(3 marks)

ii) If a college only admits students who score over 70 marks, find the percentage of the
students who would be eligible for the admission.
(4 marks)

iii) A random sample of 30 students was tested to answer a test provided by the college.
They found that the mean mark of them is 65 marks and the standard deviation is 9.5
marks. What is the percentage of the tested student will eligible to enter that college if
the mean of the marks is not more than 55 marks?

(6 marks)
QUESTION 3

The maintenance department in a factory claims that the number of breakdowns of a


particular machine follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3 breakdowns every 168
hours.

a) What is the probability of not more than seven breakdowns in a week?


(3 marks)
b) What is the probability of at least 10 breakdowns in a month?
(4 marks)
