Q 12 c Trialmaths 2020 EXT1 TRIAL = Q 171 ( 2 marks )

It is known 5% of light bulbs produced by a local company are faulty. What is the 2
probability that in a random sample of 7 light bulbs, exactly three light bulbs are faulty.

Q 12 b Western trial 2020 EXT1 TRIAL = Q 195 ( 4 marks i=1 ii=1 iii=2 )
A game is played in which players throw netballs, aiming to get them through the hoop.
The players are given two options in how they play the game.
Option 1: Players take 2 attempts and win a prize if at least one of the balls goes through.
Option 2: Players take 3 attempts and win a prize if at least two of the balls go through.
Karen decides to play.
The probability that she will get a ball through on any attempt is p, where p > 0.

Show that the probability that Karen wins if she takes Option 1 is
i) .

ii) Show that the probability that Karen wins if she takes Option 2 is .
iii) Karen has calculated that she is 3 times as likely to win by choosing
Option 1 over Option 2. Find the value of p.

i) Find the value of a.

ii) Write an expression that could be used to correctly calculate .

(Do not evaluate your expression)

iii) The graph of the probability density function for f(x) is shown below.
The line x = 2.4 creates an area of 0.5 square units to the right of the line and under the curve, as shown.
