Section B

11 Eggs are delivered to a supermarket in boxes of 6.

For each egg, the probability that it is cracked is 0.05 independently of other eggs.

Find the probability that

(i) in one box there are no cracked eggs, [2]
(ii) in one box there is exactly 1 cracked egg. [4]

The manager checks the eggs as follows.

• He takes a box at random from the delivery.

• He accepts the whole delivery if this box contains no cracked eggs.
• He rejects the whole delivery if the box contains 2 or more cracked eggs.
• If the box contains 1 cracked egg then he chooses another box at random.
• He accepts the delivery only if this second box contains no cracked eggs.

(iii) Find the probability that the delivery is rejected. [6]

12 Two cars, A and B, move from rest away from a point O on a straight road starting at the same time.

(a) Car A moves with constant acceleration of 2 m s−2 .

Express the displacement of car A after time t seconds as a function of t. [2]

(b) Car B moves with acceleration given by a = 12 t + 1.

Express the displacement of car B after time t seconds as a function of t. [4]

(c) (i) Find the time at which the cars are the same distance from O. [2]
(ii) Find the distance they have travelled at that time. [2]

(d) Draw a sketch graph of the velocity of each car on the axes given. [2]

13 A pyramid has a square base, ABCD, with vertex E. E is directly above the centre of the base, O, as
shown in Fig. 13.
The lengths of the sides of the base are each 2x metres and the height is h metres.
The lengths of the sloping edges, AE, BE, CE and DE, are each 5 metres.
