5) (a)
In a study conducted on a group of graduates, it is found that 65% of them
succeeded in gaining employment after graduation.
(i)
If 2 graduates are chosen at random, find the probability that there are not
more than 10 graduates employed after graduation.
(ii)

(b)

If the standard deviation of the employment of the graduates is 10.2, calculate

the number of graduates who participated in this study.

A school with 2000 students take part in a cross-country event. The cross-country
event started at 0800 hours. The time taken for the students to finish the event is
normally distributed with a mean of 40 minutes and a variance of 100 minutes2.
(i)
Find the probability of students who finished the event after 1 hour.

(ii)
If 450 students finished the event in less than t minutes, find the value of t.
