(8%) 5. A box contains 4 red balls and 6 white balls. An experiment consists of
drawing 5 balls at random from the box, with replacement. Find the probability that at
least 3 of the balls are red.
(17%) 6. Of 120 students, 60 are studying French, 50 are studying Spanish, and 20 are
studying both French and Spanish.
(a)A student is chosen at random. Find the probability that:
(i)The student is studying neither French nor Spanish.
(ii) The student is studying exactly one of the two languages.
(iii)The student is studying French, given that he is studying Spanish.
(b) Let F be the event that the student is studying French, and S be the event
that the student is studying Spanish. Are F and S statistically independent events?
Give a clear reason for your answer.
(10%) 7. The scores on a quiz for a class of 40 students have a mean equal to 75 and
a standard deviation equal to 9. If the teacher decides to raise each student's grade
by 2 grades
(a) What will be the new mean (of the raised grades)? Justify your answer.
(b) What will be the new standard deviation? Justify your answer.
(18%) 8. A pair of dice, one red, one green, is rolled once. The random variable X
is the maximum of the 2 numbers obtained on the faces of the dice.
(a)If A is the event that X = 3, list the set of outcomes belonging to this event.
(b) Find the probability that X < 3.
(c) Find the probability that X #3.
(d) Let A be the event that X = 3, B be the event that X is even, and C be the
event that X> 4.
(i)Are the events A, B and C mutually exclusive? Justify your answer.
(ii) Are the events A, B and C collectively exhaustive? Justify your
answer.
