Q1. An analyst working at the Shanghai shipping port conducts a study on the port wait times of shipping
containers for a particular month. The analysis creates a box – and – whisker diagram to represent the
time, in hours, containers spend in the port. The diagram is shown below. [5]

a). Using the box – and – whisker diagram, write down [3]

i. The minimum number of hours a container spent in the port.

ii. The lower quartile.

iii. The upper quartile.

Using the box-and- whisker diagram, the analysts claims that the percentage of containers spending more
that 23 hours in port is higher than the percentage of the containers spending less than 23 hours in port.

b). State whether the analysis is correct. Justify your answer. [2]
Q2. Alex works as a health insurance agent for Medical Insurance Fund. The probability that he succeeds in
selling an insurance policy to a given customer aged 25 or older is 0.45. [5]

On a given day, he interacts with 8 customers in this age range. Find the probability that he will sell

a). at least one insurance policy on this day [3]

b). exactly 2 insurance policies on this day. [2]

Q3. Mark wants to meet his friend Jeremy after school to ask him some questions about their chemistry
homework. On a typical school afternoon, Jeremy either goes to the park for some exercise or goes to the
library to complete his homework. [8]
Jeremy has previously told Mark that he goes to the park two out of every five afternoons each school
week.
If Jeremy goes to the park, the probability that Mark will meet Jeremy in the park is 0.2. If Jeremy goes to
the library, the probability that Mark will meet Jeremy in the library is 0.7.
These scenarios are represented in the tree diagram below.

(a). Complete the tree diagram. [2]

(b). Find the probability that Mark will meet Jeremy that afternoon [3]

c). Given that Jeremy and Mark do not met, find the probability that Jeremy goes to park for some
exercise that day? [3]
Q4. Students at Flemington College were surveyed to determine the type of tea they drink: black (B) or
green (G). Students who didn’t drink tea did not participate in the survey. [7]

The number of students who drink only black tea was three times more than the number of students who
drink only green tea. 20 students indicated drinking both black and green tea. Let x be the number of
students who drink only black tea.
a). Write down an expression, in term of x, for the number of students who drink only green tea. [1]

b). Complete the Venn diagram below using the above information. [2]
 240 students were surveyed in total.

c). Find the number of students who drink only black tea. [2]

d). Write down the value of n (G). [2]

Q5. The weight (W) of tomatoes grown by a farmer follows a normal distribution. W is measured in grams.
The normal distribution curve of W is shown below. [6]

a). Write down the mean weight of tomatoes. [1]

The standard deviation of the weights of tomatoes is 30 grams.

b). The farmer sorts the tomatoes before selling. He chooses to group Medium sized tomatoes, with a
weight in the range of 100 ≤W ≤150. Estimate the percentage of tomatoes that are classified as
Medium. [2]

c). The farmer produces tomato juice from the Small sized tomatoes, weights: W ≤ A. Find the value of A
if 10% of all tomatoes are used for juice production. Give your answer to correct two decimal places. [3]
Q6. The average price for one square metre of land is recorded for seven different locations in Melbourne,
Australia. The following table shows the average prices for these locations and the distances from the
centre of the Melbourne city. This data is also shown on the scatter diagram below. [14]

Type equation here.

a). Use the scatter diagram to find the value of a and b in the table. [2]
b). Calculate: [4]
i). the mean distance from the Melbourne city Centre, 𝑥̅

ii). the mean 1m2 price, in thousands AUD, 𝑦̅

iii). the Pearson’s product – moment correlation coefficient, r.

c). write down the equation of the regression line y on x. [2]

d). Use the line of regression equation to estimate the price of 1 m2 of the land 4 km from the Melbourne
city centre. State whether your estimate is reliable and justify your answer. [3]

e). complete the information in the following table: [1]

Ranking of
distance
from the
city centre
Ranking of
Price for
1m2 of
land

f). Find the value of the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, rs. [2]
