Question 1
Q1 (a)

In the 100m final of the Olympics there are 8 athletes taking part: In how many ways can they be
placed first, second and third?

First 8C1=8 ways

Second 8C2=28 ways

Third 8C3=56 ways

At the end of the race how many ways can the athletes line up for a photograph? 8C3= 56 ways

Q1 (b)

A person randomly selects 5 balls from a bag containing 3 Red, 5 Black and 6 Blue balls. Find
the probability that 2 Black and 3 Blue balls are chosen.

For the following eight cars aged 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, and 7 find a 99% Confidence Interval.
Assume that the ages of the cars are normally distributed.

Q1 (e)

Explain what Type 1 and Type 2 errors are in Hypothesis Testing.

Type 1 errors-error that occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected instead of being accepted.

Type 2 errors-errors that occur when the null hypothesis is accepted instead of being rejected.

Q1 (f)

Evaluate the determinant of the following matrix:


6 3 2
4 1 9
5 6 1

6 3 2 6 3

4 1 -9 4 1

-5 6 -1 -5 6

Determinant=[((6 × 1 × 1) + (3 × 9 × 5) + (2 × 4 × 1))] [((5 × 1 × 2) +
(6 × 9 × 6) + (1 × 4 × 3))]

= (-6+135+8)-(-10-324-12) =137+346=483

Determinant=483

Q1 (g)

Explain the difference between the regression and correlation coefficients.

Regression coefficient is used to show the relationship between the independent and dependent
variable numerically while correlation coefficient is used to show the association strength that
exist between two Variables.

Q1 (h)

Calculate the limit of the following:

lim
𝑥2
𝑥2 + 3𝑥 10
𝑥2 8𝑥 + 12

Let’s start by simplifying the expression through factorisation.

x2+3x-10= X2+5x-2x-10

x2 +5x-2x-10=x(x+5)-2(x+5) = (x-2)(x+5)

x2-8x+12= x2-6x-2x+12=x(x-6)-2(x-6)=(x-2)(x-6)
