20\% of the t -shirts made by the manufacturer are small and sell for \(\pounds 10 30 \%\) of the t -shirts made by the manufacturer are medium and sell for \(\pounds 12\)
The rest of the t -shirts made by the manufacturer are large and sell for \(\pounds 15\)
- Find the mean value of the t -shirts made by the manufacturer.
A random sample of 3 t -shirts made by the manufacturer is taken.
- List all the possible combinations of the individual selling prices of these 3 t-shirts.
- Find the sampling distribution of the median selling price of these 3 t-shirts.
- A supermarket receives complaints at a mean rate of 6 per week.
- State one assumption necessary, in order for a Poisson distribution to be used to model the number of complaints received by the supermarket.
- Find the probability that, in a given week, there are
- fewer than 3 complaints received by the supermarket,
- at least 6 complaints received by the supermarket.
In a randomly selected week, the supermarket received 12 complaints. - Test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether or not there is evidence that the mean number of complaints is greater than 6 per week.
State your hypotheses clearly.
Following changes made by the supermarket, it received 26 complaints over a 6-week period. - Use a suitable approximation to test whether or not there is evidence that, following the changes, the mean number of complaints received is less than 6 per week. You should state your hypotheses clearly and use a 5\% significance level.
- The continuous random variable \(Y\) has cumulative distribution function given by
$$\mathrm { F } ( y ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l r }
0 & y < 0
\frac { 1 } { 21 } y ^ { 2 } & 0 \leqslant y \leqslant k
\frac { 2 } { 15 } \left( 6 y - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 2 } \right) - \frac { 7 } { 5 } & k < y \leqslant 6
1 & y > 6
\end{array} \right.$$ - Find \(\mathrm { P } \left( \left. Y < \frac { 1 } { 4 } k \right\rvert \, Y < k \right)\)
- Find the value of \(k\)
- Use algebraic calculus to find \(\mathrm { E } ( Y )\)
- The discrete random variable \(X\) is given by
$$X \sim \mathrm {~B} ( n , p )$$
The value of \(n\) and the value of \(p\) are such that \(X\) can be approximated by a normal random variable \(Y\) where
$$Y \sim \mathrm {~N} \left( \mu , \sigma ^ { 2 } \right)$$
Given that when using a normal approximation
$$\mathrm { P } ( X < 86 ) = 0.2266 \text { and } \mathrm { P } ( X > 97 ) = 0.1056$$ - show that \(\sigma = 6\)
- Hence find the value of \(n\) and the value of \(p\)
