A survey conducted revealed that four out of every twenty taxi drivers do not have a valid driving license. If 6 drivers are selected at random, calculate, correct to three decimal places, the probability that
(a) exactly 2 ;
(b) more than 3 ;
(c) at least 5; have valid driving license.
The table shows the frequency distribution of marks scored by some candidates in an examination.
| Marks | 0-9 | 10-19 | 20-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-59 | 60-69 | 70-79 | 80-89 | 90-99 |
| Freq | 2 | 5 | 8 | 18 | 20 | 15 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
(a) Draw the cumulative frequency curve of the distribution.
(b) Use your graph to estimate the :
(i) semi-interquartile range of the distribution; (ii) percentage of candidates who passed with distinction if the least mark for distinction was 72.
A bag contains 4 red, 6 blue and 8 green identical marbles.
(a) If three marbles are drawn at random, without replacement, calculate the probability that :
(i) all will be green ; (ii) all will have the same colour.
(b) If each marble is replaced before another is drawn, calculate the probability that all will have the same colour.
(a) An object P of mass 6.5kg is suspended by two light inextensible strings, AP and BP. The strings make angles 50° and 60° respectively with the downward vertical.
(i) Express the forces acting on P in component form; (ii) If P is at rest, write down the vector equation connecting all the forces; (iii) Calculate, correct to one decimal place, the tensions in the strings.
(b) A particle of mass 5 kg moves with initial velocity \(\frac{1}{2} m/s\) and final velocity \(\frac{3}{4} m/s \). Find the magnitude of its change in momentum.
(a) \(m \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + n \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}\) where m and n are scalars. Find the value of (m + n).
(b) A(-1, 3), B(2, -1) and C(5, 3) are the vertices of \(\Delta\) ABC.
(i) Express in column notation, the unit vectors parallel to AB and AC.
(ii) Use a dot product to calculate \(\stackrel \frown{BAC}\), correct to the nearest degree.
