8 4 key : 4 0 means 40

(a). Find median and the mean of the masses of fish. [4 marks]

(b). Calculate Pearson’s coefficient of skewness. [3 marks]

(c). State whether the median or the mean is more suitable as a measure of
central tendency of the above distribution. Give a reason for your answer. [2 marks]

20 20
5.00 pm; find the probability that there is no homework on that day.
[7 marks]

3. The discrete random variable X has the following probability function,

8c , x = 2, 4
h(x) = c 2− x , x = 1, 5, 6
0 otherwise

(a). Determine the value of c and tabulate the probability distribution of X. [3 marks]

(b). If g(X) = 2h(X) + 4, find the expected value of g(X). [4 marks]

4 The coefficient of determination between two variables x and y for a random sample is
known as r2.
(a) What does r2 measure? [1 mark]
(b) State the range of possible values of r2. [1 mark]
(c) A sample of a ten data point may be summarized as follows.

∑ 𝑥 = 26, ∑ 𝑦 = 35.5, ∑ 𝑥 2 = 86, ∑ 𝑦 2 = 129.34, ∑ 𝑥𝑦 = 84.8

Calculate the coefficient of determination between x and y. [4 marks]

5. The following table shows the quantities sold and the unit price of three stationeries
manufactured by a company.

Quantity Unit Price(RM)

(a) By using 2014 as the base year, calculate the Laspeyres quantity index and the Paasche
price index for year 2015 [4 marks]
(b) Determine whether the ‘quantity sold’ or ‘price of the stationeries’ contributes more to the
growth of the company. [2 marks]

6.The table below shows the expenses involved in exporting the raw material of plastic for each
quarter in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010

 Section B
[15 marks]
Answer any one question in this section.

7 The following table indicates the ages, x years and the price, RM y × 103 , for eight
cars of the same model in a second-hand car shop.
x 2 8 3 9 6 5 6 3
y 100 15 72 16 36 34 30 68
(a) Plot a scatter diagram for the data, and state what it indicates about the
relationship between the ages and the price of the cars. [3 marks]
(b) Find the equation if the regression line y on x in form y = a + bx, where a and b
are constants. [6 marks]
(c) Explain the value a and b that you obtained in (b). [2 marks]
(d) Estimate the price of a car of the same model of age 7 years. [2 marks]
(e) State, with reason, whether it is appropriate to use this regression line to predict
the price of the same model cars of age 15 years. [2 marks]

8 (a) X is a normal variable with mean 𝜇 and standard deviation 𝜎. It is given that
𝑃(𝑋 > 128) = 0.15 and that 𝑃( 𝑋 > 97) = 0.875. Calculate 𝜇 and 𝜎.
[5 marks]
(b) The quality of a product manufactured in a certain process is classified as ‘poor’,
‘fair’, or ‘good’ on the basis of a measured quantity Y which may be assumed to
have a normal distribution with mean 50 units and standard deviation 5 units.
Products are considered ‘poor’ if Y < 44, and the proportions of ‘fair’ and ‘good’
are equal. Calculate the boundary value of Y separating ‘fair’ from ‘good ‘.
[5 marks]
(c) It may be assumed that dates of birth in a large population are distributed
throughout the year so that the probability of a randomly chosen person’s date of
1
birth being in any particular month may be taken as 12 . Find the probability that,
of 100 people chosen, at least 20 will have birthdays in April, May and June.
