During the school holidays, each day Khalid either rides on his bicycle with probability 0.6, or on his skateboard with probability 0.4. Khalid does not ride on both on the same day.
There are 45 days of school holidays. Show that the variance of the number of days Khalid rides on his skateboard is the same as the variance of the number of days that Khalid rides on his bicycle.
Visitors to a Wildlife Park in Africa have independent probabilities of 0.9 of seeing giraffes, 0.95 of seeing elephants, 0.85 of seeing zebras and 0.1 of seeing lions.
Screws are sold in packets of 15. Faulty screws occur randomly. A large number of packets are tested for faulty screws and the mean number of faulty screws per packet is found to be 1.2.
Damien buys 8 packets of screws at random.
Robert uses his calculator to generate 5 random integers between 1 and 9 inclusive.
(i) Find the probability that at least 2 of the 5 integers are less than or equal to 4.
Robert now generates n random integers between 1 and 9 inclusive. The random variable X is the number of these n integers which are less than or equal to a certain integer k between 1 and 9 inclusive. It is given that the mean of X is 96 and the variance of X is 32.
(ii) Find the values of n and k.
A biased die was thrown 20 times and the number of 5s was noted. This experiment was repeated many times and the average number of 5s was found to be 4.8. Find the probability that in the next 20 throws the number of 5s will be less than three.
