Emlyn plays many games of basketball for his school team. The number of minutes he plays
in each game follows a normal distribution with mean 𝑚 minutes.
In any game there is a 30 % chance he will play less than 13.6 minutes. In any game there is
a 70 % chance he will play less than 17.8 minutes. The standard deviation of the number of
minutes Emlyn plays in any game is 4. There is a 60 % chance Emlyn plays less than 𝑥
minutes in a game.
Emlyn will play in two basketball games today.
Emlyn and his teammate Johan each practise shooting the basketball multiple times from a
point 𝑋. A record of their performance over the weekend is shown in the table below.
On Monday, Emlyn and Johan will practise and each will shoot 200 times from point 𝑋.
(a) Sketch a diagram to represent this information. [2]

(b) Show that 𝑚 = 15.7. [2]

(c.i) Find the probability that Emlyn plays between 13 and 18 minutes in a game. [2]

(c.ii) Find the probability that Emlyn plays more than 20 minutes in a game. [2]

(d) Find the value of 𝑥. [2]

(e) Find the probability he plays between 13 minutes and 18 minutes in one game
and more than 20 minutes in the other game. [3]
(f) Find the expected number of successful shots Emlyn will make on Monday, based
on the results from Saturday and Sunday. [2]

(g) Emlyn claims the results from Saturday and Sunday show that his expected
number of successful shots will be more than Johan’s.
Determine if Emlyn’s claim is correct. Justify your reasoning. [2]

The mass of a certain type of Chilean corncob follows a normal distribution with a mean of
400 grams and a standard deviation of 50 grams.
A farmer labels one of these corncobs as premium if its mass is greater than 𝑎 grams. 25%
of these corncobs are labelled as premium.
(a) Write down the probability that the mass of one of these corncobs is greater
than 400 grams. [1]

(b) Find the value of 𝑎. [2]

(c) Estimate the interquartile range of the distribution. [3]

At Mirabooka Primary School, a survey found that 68% of students have a dog and 36%
of students have a cat. 14% of students have both a dog and a cat.
This information can be represented in the following Venn diagram, where 𝑚, 𝑛, 𝑝 and
𝑞 represent the percentage of students within each region.

(a.i) Find the value of 𝑚. [1]

(a.ii) Find the value of 𝑛. [1]

(a.iii) Find the value of 𝑝. [1]

(a.iv) Find the value of 𝑞. [1]

(b) Find the percentage of students who have a dog or a cat or both. [1]
Each year, one student is chosen randomly to be the school captain of Mirabooka Primary
School.
(c.i) Find the probability that a randomly chosen student has a dog but does
not have a cat. [1]

(c.ii)
Find the probability that a randomly chosen student has a dog given that they do
not have a cat. [2]

Tim is using a binomial distribution to make predictions about how many of the next
10 school captains will own a dog. He assumes that the percentages found in the survey
will remain constant for future years and that the events “being a school captain” and
“having a dog” are independent. John randomly chooses 10 students from the survey.
(d.i) Find the probability that 5 school captains have a dog. [2]

(d.ii) Find the probability that more than 3 school captains have a dog. [2]

(d.iii) Find the probability that a randomly chosen student exactly 9 school captains
in succession have a dog. [3]
