Q:1/1/1/1/
1. Stuart is investigating a treatment for a disease that affects fruit trees. He has 400 fruit
trees and applies the treatment to a random sample of these trees. The remainder of the
trees have no treatment. He records the number of years, y, that each fruit tree remains
free from this disease.
The results are summarised in the table below.

Treatment

Applied Not applied

y<1 15 25
Number of years free
1y<2 35 61
from this disease
2y 124 140

The data are to be used to determine whether or not there is an association between the
application of the treatment and the number of years that a fruit tree remains free from
this disease.
(a) Calculate the expected frequencies for

(i) Applied and y < 1

(ii) Not applied and 1  y < 2

(2)
( O − E )2
The value of ∑ E
for the other four classes is 2.642 to 3 decimal places.

(b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether or not there is an association between
the application of the treatment and the number of years a fruit tree remains free
from this disease.
You should state your hypotheses, test statistic, critical value and conclusion clearly.

2. Xena catches fish at random, at a constant rate of 0.6 per hour.
(a) Find the probability that Xena catches exactly 4 fish in a 5‑hour period.
(2)
The probability of Xena catching no fish in a period of t hours is less than 0.16
(b) Find the minimum value of t, giving your answer to one decimal place.
(3)
Independently of Xena, Zion catches fish at random with a mean rate of 0.8 per hour.
Xena and Zion try using new bait to catch fish. The number of fish caught in total by
Xena and Zion after using the new bait, in a randomly selected 4‑hour period, is 12
(c) Use a suitable test to determine, at the 5% level of significance, whether or not there
is evidence that the rate at which fish are caught has increased after using the new
bait. State your hypotheses clearly and the p‑value used in your test.

3. In a game, a coin is spun 5 times and the number of heads obtained is recorded.
Tao suggests playing the game 20 times and carrying out a chi‑squared test to
investigate whether the coin might be biased.
(a) Explain why playing the game only 20 times may cause problems when carrying out
the test.
(1)
Chris decides to play the game 500 times. The results are as follows

Number of heads 0 1 2 3 4 5

Observed frequency 2 27 93 181 146 51

Chris decides to test whether or not the data can be modelled by a binomial distribution,
with the probability of a head on each spin being 0.6
She calculates the expected frequencies, to 2 decimal places, as follows

Number of heads 0 1 2 3 4 5

Expected frequency 5.12 38.40 115.20 172.80 129.60 38.88

(b) State the number of degrees of freedom in Chris’ test, giving a reason for
your answer.
(1)
(c) Carry out the test at the 5% level of significance.
You should state your hypotheses, test statistic, critical value and conclusion clearly.
(5)
(d) Showing your working, find an alternative model which would better fit Chris’ data.
