Revision For Tracking Test 5
1)What are the conditions for a Binomial distribution?

3)In what circumstances can you approximate a binomial distribution with a Poisson distribution?
4)An archer fires arrows at a target and for each arrow, independently of all the others, the probability that it hits the bull’s eye is
- Given that the archer fires 5 arrows, find the probability that fewer than 2 arrows hit the bulls’ eye.
- The archer fires 5 arrows, collects them from a target and fires all 5 again. Find the probability that on both occasions fewer than 2 hit the bull’s eye.
5)A garden centre states that 95% of its daffodil bulbs will produce flowers the following season. Gill buys 100 bulbs. Use a suitable approximation to estimate the probability that at least 96 of the bulbs will flower next season.
6)A spinner is designed to land on red 10% of the time. Use suitable approximations to estimate the probability of
- Fewer than 4 reds in 60 turns of the spinner
- More than 20 reds in 150 turns of the spinner
7)The random variable X has a probability density function given by

b)Calculate E(X)
c)Specify fully the cumulative distribution function of X

8)The diagram shows the graph of y=f(x)
Sketch on separate diagrams, the graphs of
- y = |f(x)|
- y = f(|x|)
- y = f(x-2)
- y = -f(x)
- y = f(x) – 2
- y = f(-x)
- y = f(2x)
On each sketch (apart from (e)), show the co-ordinates of the points where the graph crosses the x-axis
9) (a)Express 3cosθ+4sinθ in the form Rcos(θ – α), where R and α are constants, R > 0and0α < 90°.
(b)Hence find the maximum value of 3 cos θ + 4 sin θ and the smallest positive value ofθ for which this maximum occurs.
The temperature, f(t), of a warehouse is modelled using the equation
f (t) = 10 + 3 cos (15t)° + 4 sin (15t)°,where tis the time in hours from midday and 0 t < 24.
(c)Calculate the minimum temperature of the warehouse as given by this model.
(d)Find the value of t when this minimum temperature occurs.
10)I = .
(a) Given that y=, copy and complete the table below with values of y corresponding to x = 3 and x = 5 . Give your values to 4 decimal places.
x / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5y / 0.2 / 0.1745
(b)Use the trapezium rule, with all of the values of y in the completed table, to obtain an estimate of I, giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
(c) Using the substitution x = (u − 4)2 + 1, or otherwise, and integrating, find the exact value of I.
