What does H0 and H1 stand for?

H0 - Null Hypothesis

H1 - Alternate Hypothesis

100

What does mutually exclusive mean?

Outcomes that cannot happen at the same time.

A car is driving at 20 ms−120 ms−1. After 10 seconds, its speed is 50 ms−1.

How far does it travel in this time?

s = 350m

Two particles A and B have mass 0.4 kg and 0.3 kg respectively. The string passes over a small smooth pulley which is fixed above a horizontal floor. The particles are released from rest. Find the tension in the string immediately after the particles are released.

T = 3.36N

What is the probability of getting a total of 11 when rolling 2 dice?

2/36 = 1/18

Danielle jumps from a diving board 10 m above a pool. If her initial velocity (upwards) is 1 ms−1, how long does it take her to reach the water? 

Assume g=10 ms−2.

t=1.52 s (to 2 dp)

300

The mass of A and B are 4kg and 3 kg respectively. A sits on a smooth surface. The system is released from rest. What is the acceleration?

a = 4.2ms-2

Between which months are the readings for the LDS taken?

May to October

Given X ~ B(25, 0.3).

Find P(x < 4)

p(x<4) = P(x<3) = 0.0332

300

Are events G and C independent?

P(GnC) = 0.288

P(G) x P(C) = 84/160 x 87/160 = 0.285

So they are NOT independent

James, Jeremy and Richard are having a quarter-mile race. From rest, Richard accelerates at a constant rate of 8 mph/s. Jeremy sets off one second earlier than he should, and accelerates at 7 mph/s. James is given a 3 second head start on the other two, but his acceleration is only 5.5 mph/s. Who crosses the line first and in what time?

 James: t = 18.09 s

Jeremy: t = 17.04 s

Richard: t = 18s

Richard crosses the line first

Bob grows tomatoes. Over a period of time, he has found that there is a probability 0.3 of a ripe tomato having a diameter greater than 4 cm. He decides to try a new fertiliser. In a random sample of 40 ripe tomatoes, 18 have a diameter greater than 4 cm. Bob claims that the new fertiliser has increased the probability of a ripe tomato being greater than 4 cm in diameter. Test Bob's claim at the 5% level of significance. State your hypotheses clearly.

H0 : p = 0.3; H1 : p > 0.3

P(X ≥ 18) = 1 – P(X ≤ 17) = 0.0320 < 0.05 

Evidence to Reject H0 or it is significant New fertiliser has increased the probability of a tomato being greater than 4cm

The random variable X has probability function   

P(X = x) = kx,   x = 1, 2, ..., 5.

Find  P(X < 4) 

k = 1/15

P(X < 4) = P(X = 5) = 5/15 = 1/3 = 0.333

A stone is projected vertically upwards from point with a speed of 19.6 ms-1. Modelling the stone as a particle moving freely under gravity, find the length of time the stone is more than 14.7m above the O.

t = 2 seconds

Two particles P and Q have mass 0.5 kg and m kg respectively, where m < 0.5. The particles are connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth, fixed pulley. Initially P is 3.15 m above horizontal ground. The particles are released from rest with the string taut and the hanging parts of the string vertical. After P has been descending for 1.5 s, it strikes the ground. Particle P reaches the ground before Q has reached the pulley. What is the value of m?

m = 0.278 kg = 5/18kg

Which UK location would have the coolest temperatures?

Leuchars as it's the furthest North and coastal.

A single observation x is to be taken from a Binomial distribution B(20, p). 

H0 : p = 0.3 

H1 : p ≠ 0.3 

Using a 5% level of significance, find the critical region for this test. The probability of rejecting either tail should be as close as possible to 2.5%.

X ~ B(20, 0.3) 

P (X ≤ 2) = 0.0355 

P(X ≥ 11) = 1 – 0.9829 = 0.0171 

Critical region is (X ≤ 2) ∪ (X ≥ 11)
