6. The owner of a very large youth club has designed a new method for allocating people to teams. Before introducing the method he decided to find out how the members of the youth club might react.
- Explain why the owner decided to take a random sample of the youth club members rather than ask all the youth club members.
- Suggest a suitable sampling frame.
- Identify the sampling units.
The new method uses a bag containing a large number of balls. Each ball is numbered either 20, 50 or 70
When a ball is selected at random, the random variable \(X\) represents the number on the ball where
$$\mathrm { P } ( X = 20 ) = p \quad \mathrm { P } ( X = 50 ) = q \quad \mathrm { P } ( X = 70 ) = r$$
A youth club member takes a ball from the bag, records its number and replaces it in the bag. He then takes a second ball from the bag, records its number and replaces it in the bag.
The random variable \(M\) is the mean of the 2 numbers recorded.
Given that
$$\mathrm { P } ( M = 20 ) = \frac { 25 } { 64 } \quad \mathrm { P } ( M = 60 ) = \frac { 1 } { 16 } \quad \text { and } \quad q > r$$ - show that \(\mathrm { P } ( M = 50 ) = \frac { 1 } { 16 }\)
