6 Each weekday, Monday to Friday, Trina catches a train from her local station. She claims that the probability that the train arrives on time at the station is 0.4 , and that the train's arrival time is independent from day to day.
- Assuming her claims to be true, determine the probability that the train arrives on time at the station:
- on at most 3 days during a 2 -week period ( 10 days);
- on more than 10 days but fewer than 20 days during an 8-week period.
- Assuming Trina's claims to be true, determine the mean and standard deviation for the number of times during a week (5 days) that the train arrives on time at the station.
- Each week, for a period of 13 weeks, Trina's travelling colleague, Suzie, records the number of times that the train arrives on time at the station. Suzie's results are
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of these values.
- Hence comment on the likely validity of Trina's claims.
