Statistics Year 1 (AS) Unit Test 4: Statistical Distributions

5 A manufacturer supplies MP3 players to retailers in batches of 20, which are


randomly selected. Long-term analysis shows that 5% of the players are faulty.
a Write down a suitable model for the distribution of the number of faulty MP3
players in a batch giving the value(s) of any parameter(s). (2 marks)
b Find the probability that a batch contains no faulty MP3 players. (2 marks)
c Show that the probability of there being more than 4 faulty MP3 players in a
batch is equal to 0.0026 to 2 significant figures. (2 marks)

6 Emma throws a fair coin 15 times and records the number of times it shows a head.
a State the appropriate distribution to model the number of times the coin shows a
head giving any relevant parameter values. (2 marks)
b Find the probability that Emma records:
i exactly 8 heads (2 marks)
ii at least 4 heads. (2 marks)

7 A manufacturer produces large quantities of coloured plates. It is known from


previous records that 6% of the production will be blue.
A random sample of 10 plates was taken from the production line.
a Give the name of a suitable distribution to model the number of blue plates in
this sample and state why it is suitable. (2 marks)
b Find the probability that there were more than 2 blue plates in the sample. (3 marks)

8 a Write down the conditions under which the binomial distribution may be a
suitable model to use in statistical work. (4 marks)
A six-sided die is biased. When the die is thrown the number 5 is twice as likely to
appear as any other number. All the other faces are equally likely to appear. The
die is rolled repeatedly.
b Find the probability that:
i the first 5 will occur on the sixth throw (5 marks)
ii in the first eight throws there will be exactly three 5s. (3 marks)
