  1. A medical researcher is studying the number of hours, \(T\), a patient stays in hospital following a particular operation.
The histogram on the page opposite summarises the results for a random sample of 90 patients.
  1. Use the histogram to estimate \(\mathrm { P } ( 10 < T < 30 )\) For these 90 patients the time spent in hospital following the operation had
    • a mean of 14.9 hours
    • a standard deviation of 9.3 hours
    Tomas suggests that \(T\) can be modelled by \(\mathrm { N } \left( 14.9,9.3 ^ { 2 } \right)\)
  2. With reference to the histogram, state, giving a reason, whether or not Tomas' model could be suitable. Xiang suggests that the frequency polygon based on this histogram could be modelled by a curve with equation $$y = k x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 4$$ where
    • \(x\) is measured in tens of hours
    • \(k\) is a constant
    • Use algebraic integration to show that
    $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { n } x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \mathrm {~d} x = 1 - ( n + 1 ) \mathrm { e } ^ { - n }$$
  3. Show that, for Xiang's model, \(k = 99\) to the nearest integer.
  4. Estimate \(\mathrm { P } ( 10 < T < 30 )\) using
    1. Tomas' model of \(T \sim \mathrm {~N} \left( 14.9,9.3 ^ { 2 } \right)\)
    2. Xiang's curve with equation \(y = 99 x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\) and the answer to part (c) The researcher decides to use Xiang's curve to model \(\mathrm { P } ( a < T < b )\)
  5. State one limitation of Xiang's model. \begin{figure}[h]
