Helen spent all day flipping the coin thousands of times, and observed that it turned up heads 60% of the time. So Helen assigns a probability of 0.6 to the event that a head turns up. Harriet, who is unaware of Helen's flipping experiment, reasons that the coin has two sides, each side being equally likely to show up. So Harriet assigns a probability of 0.5 to the event that a head shows up. a) A relative frequency approach to probability is demonstrated by: Helen Harriet both Helen and Harriet b) A weakness with the probability assigned by Helen is that: it must be wrong, the probability must be 1/6 it is an estimate probability has nothing to do with how often an event is seen to occur 2 of 2 ID: MST.FET.P.ANOP.02.0030A [1 mark] mark] Four students attempt to describe the likelihood of an event.

The sample space is the set of numbers 1 to 12 and you can assume that the die is fair (i.e. each outcome is equally likely). The events A and B are defined by: Event A: you roll a number greater than 4. Event B: you roll a number less than 5. a) Regarding the events A and B, select the correct statement: A and B are mutually exclusive A and B are not mutually exclusive there is not enough information to tell whether or not A and B are mutually exclusive [2 marks] marks] 12-sided die A 12-sided die is just what is sounds like! It is a die with 12 sides. The sides are all the same size and shape so the die is a regular 12-sided polygon called a dodecahedron. (In fact it is a platonic solid.) This is important if every number is going to have a equal chance of being rolled. b) Regarding the events A and B, select the correct statement: A and B are collectively exhaustive A and B are not collectively exhaustive there is not enough information to tell whether or not A and B are collectively exhaustive 2 of 3 ID: MST.FET.P.FP.02.0030A [3 marks] marks] Little Inc. is having a board meeting to decide which medium to use in a new advertizing campaign. Little Inc. doesn't have many resources to dedicate to advertizing and so they can only use one of the following methods: television radio internet newspaper billboards Margot thinks that an airwave broadcast campaign would be most effective and so she hopes that the board will either decide to use television or radio. Noah believes that they should focus on visual advertizing and thinks billboards or television would be best. Let A be the event that the board decides on either television or radio. Let B be the event that the board decides on either billboards or television. a) The event that the board decides on television is the . b) The event that the board decides on either internet or newspaper or billboards is the . c) The event that the board decides on either television, radio or billboards is the 3 of 3 ID: MST.FET.P.FP.03.0020A .

The results are presented here: 526 154 149 171 people people people people own a computer and use a computer at work own a computer but do not use a computer at work do not own a computer but use a computer at work do not own a computer and do not use a computer at work Define the events A and B to be: A: a randomly chosen person owns a computer B: a randomly chosen person uses a computer at work A student who is studying this situation went about calculating the probability that a person owns a computer or uses one at their work. The student did this by counting up all of the people that own a computer, and then counting up all of the people that use a computer at their work. They then added these two numbers together and divided by 1000 to find P(A or B). a) A Venn diagram showing events A and B is given: Four regions in the diagram are marked V1, V2, V3, V4. In using the method that they did, select the region that is over-counted by the student: V1 V2 V3 V4 b) Calculate the correct probability that a random person owns a computer or uses a computer at their work. Give your answer as a decimal to 2 decimal places. P(owns a computer or uses a computer at work) = 2 of 3 ID: MST.FET.P.CAP.02.0020A [3 marks] marks] Craig owns a simple steakhouse restaurant, Pull Up Steaks, and he is thinking of making some changes: he wants to broaden the menu and he wants to put a bar in the restaurant. One weekend he hands out the following questionnaire to the diners: FEEDBACK How were we? Here at Pull Up Steaks our number one priority is your dining satisfaction and we are always trying to find new ways of achieving this. So we have a couple of questions ... Do you think we should expand our menu? YES / NO Do you think we should include a bar in our restaurant? YES / NO Craig gets 264 responses. The results of this survey are displayed in the following contingency table: Menu Expansion Restaurant Bar Yes No Yes 34 28 No 135 67 Complete these statements using the information in the above table. Give your answers to parts a) and b) to the nearest whole number. Give your answer to part c) as a decimal to 2 decimal places. a) The number of respondents that do not want the restaurant bar is . b) The number of respondents that want at least one of the changes that Craig has proposed is . c) The probability that a respondent chosen at random will want at least one of the changes that Craig has proposed is . 3 of 3 ID: MST.FET.P.CAP.03.0020A [3 marks] marks] A student at a university has been doing a project to investigate entertainment habits of students. They have surveyed 100 random students who were each asked three questions: 1. Have you watched a movie in the last week? 2. Have you listened to music in the last week? 3. Have you read a book in the last week? However, the student keeps a very messy room and has lost some of the results. They have been able to find the following results: Of all the students surveyed, 42 had watched a movie, 40 had listened to music and 42 had read a book in the last week. Also: 7 students answered yes to all three questions 10 students answered yes to questions 1 and 2 only 10 students answered yes to questions 1 and 3 only 15 students answered yes only to question 1 21 students answered no to all three questions Find the missing information and answer the following questions regarding the group surveyed.

They are interested in looking at how the team fairs during wet matches, i.e. games played in wet weather, compared to dry matches. They have researched the team's playing history and found that the team has played a total of 500 games of which 281 were dry matches and 222 were wins. Further, the team has had 60 wins in wet matches and 162 wins in dry matches; and also the team had 159 losses in wet matches and 119 losses in dry matches.
