Section A (40 marks)

Answer all question in this section.

1. The volume of dish washing liquid packed in satchets is normally distributed with
mean 400 millilitres and standard deviation 45 millilitres. The volume of fabric
softener packed in bottles is also normally distributed with mean 650 millilitres and
standard deviation 50 millilitres.
(a) Find the probability that the volume of 4 randomly satchets of dish washing
liquid is less than the volume of 2 randomly chosen bottles of fabric softener. [4]
(b) A new detergent is made by mixing the contents of 1 satchet of dish of washing
liquid and 2 bottles of fabric softener. Find the probability that the volume of the
new detergent is more than1.750 litres. [3]

12. The following marks relates to the examination marks of 10 students of Sociology
and Economics.

Sociology (𝑥)% Economics (𝑦) %

18 24
38 51
43 55
48 56
55 67
61 70
68 81
70 83
75 85
81 89

(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data. [4]

(b) Calculate the equation of the regression line 𝑦 on 𝑥 and draw this line on the
graph. [7]
(c) A certain student had 57% in Sociology, using the graph estimate the student’s
mark in Economics. [2]
(d) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient and comment on the
value… [3]

SOLUTION

(a) On the graph

(b) Y on X
∑ 𝒙 = 𝟓𝟓𝟕 ∑ 𝒚 = 𝟔𝟔𝟏 ∑ 𝒙𝒚 = 𝟒𝟎𝟐𝟖𝟎
∑ 𝒙𝟐 = 𝟑𝟒𝟑𝟕𝟕 ∑ 𝒚𝟐 = 𝟒𝟕𝟑𝟐𝟑

𝑦 − 𝑦̅ = 𝑚(𝑥 − 𝑥̅ )

𝑛 𝑛

𝑛 ∑ 𝑥𝑦 − ∑ 𝑥 ∑ 𝑦
𝑚=
𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 − (∑ 𝑥)2
10(40280)−557(661)
𝑚= 10(34377)−5572

𝑚 = 33521 = 1.033

𝑦 − 66.1 = 1.033(𝑥 − 55.7)

𝑦 = 1.033𝑥 − 57.5381 + 66.1
𝒚 = 𝟏. 𝟎𝟑𝟑𝒙 + 𝟖. 𝟓𝟔𝟏𝟗

(c) If 𝑥 = 57%, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑦 = 67% [from the graph]

𝑛 ∑ 𝑥𝑦−∑ 𝑥 ∑ 𝑦
(d) 𝑟 =
√𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 −(∑ 𝑥)2 ×√𝑛 ∑ 𝑦 2 −(∑ 𝑦)2

10(40280)−557(661)
𝑟=
√33521×√10(47323)−(661)2
34623
𝑟 = 34887.1608

𝒓 = 𝟎. 𝟗𝟗 (2 s.f)

Comment: there is a very strong positive linear correlation between the two
marks.
