1. (a) Find the first 3 terms in ascending powers of x of ( in its simplest form. (b)The coefficient of where in the binomial expansion of (

) giving each term [4] ) ,

is a positive integer, are 15 and 90. is 5 and find the value of [6]

show that value of

If there are 500 bacteria at the beginning, (i) How many bacteria will there be after 12 hours? The model predicts that after N hours the total population of bacteria will exceed 10 million. (ii) Find the value of N. (b) The sum to infinity of the terms in the sequence below is 2. [4] [3]

3. The events A, B and C are defined as in the below Venn diagram.

Use the diagram to find the following probabilities: (a) (b) (c) (d) ( ( | ) ( ( ) ) ) [2] [3] [1] [2]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. I have three 2-laari coins and two 10-laari coins in my pocket. I pick two coins out of my pocket at random. Find the probability that they are (a) Draw a tree diagram to represent this information. (a) Both 10 laari coins (b) Both of the same value [3] [1] [3]

(c) Find the probability that the coins are both the same, given that the first coin was a 2-laari coin. [1] (d) Find the probability that the first coin was a 2-laari coin given that the coins were both the same. [3] The event T is that the sum of the two coins values is 20 laari and the event S is that the two coins are the same. (e) Find ( | ) [2] [2]

(f) State, with a reason, whether or not event S and T are independent.

5. In a shopping survey a random sample of 160 females were asked how many hours, to the nearest hour, they spent shopping in the last month. The results are summarized in the table below. Number of hours 02 35 68 9 12 13 17 18 25 A histogram was represented by a rectangle that was 0.5 cm wide and 4 cm high. (a) Calculate the width and height of the rectangle representing the group (6 8). (b) Use linear interpolation to estimate the median and interquartile range. (c) Estimate the mean and the standard deviation of the number of hours spent shopping. (d) State, giving a reason, which average and measure of dispersion you, would recommend to use to summarise these data.

6 . A firm of accountants recorded the time, accounts of their clients. The values of

minutes, to the nearest minute, taken to check the are illustrated in the stem leaf diagram below.

For these data: (a) Find the median and Interquartile range. A value that is greater than defined as an outlier. (b) Find the outliers. (c) Using the graph paper draw a box plot for these data. (d) Using your anwsers for part(a), State the skewness and justify your answer. (e) Write down which of the mean and median you would prefer to use a representation for these data. Justify your choice. [2] [2] [5] [2] ( ) or smaller than ( ) is [4]
