In a class of 50 pupils, 35 like Science and 30 like History. What is the probability of selecting a pupil who likes both Science and History?
0.10
0.30
0.60
0.70
Correct answer is B
Let the number of students that like both Science and History = x
Number of Science only = 35 - x
Number of History only = 30 - x
35 - x + 30 - x + x = 50
65 - x = 50
x = 15
P(Science and History) = 1550=0.30
The probabilities that a husband and wife will be alive in 15 years time are m and n respectively. Find the probability that only one of them will be alive at that time.
mn
m + n
m + n - 2mn
1 - mn
P(only one alive) = P(husband and not wife) + P(wife and not husband)
= m (1 - n) + n ( 1 - m)
= m - mn + n - mn
= m + n - 2mn
The distance s metres of a particle from a fixed point at time t seconds is given by s=7+pt3+t2, where p is a constant. If the acceleration at t = 3 secs is 8ms−2, find the value of p.
13
49
59
1
Correct answer is A
Differentiate distance twice to get the acceleration and then equate to get p.
s=7+pt3+t2
dsdt=v(t)=3pt2+2t
dvdt=a(t)=6pt+2
a(3)=6p(3)+2=8⟹18p=8−2=6
p=618=13
The mean age of 15 pupils in a class is 14.2 years. One new pupil joined the class and the mean changed to 14.1 years. Calculate the age of the new pupil.
12.4 years
12.6 years
13.2 years
14.1 years
Mean=sum of agesno of pupils
Let the sum of the ages of the 15 pupils be x and the sum of the 16 pupils be y.
x15=14.2⟹x=14.2×15=213
y16=14.1⟹y=14.1×16=225.6
Age of new pupil=225.6−213=12.6
