(1) The hypotheses are: H0: Whether people recycle plastics is independent of distance to recycling point. H1: Whether people recycle plastics is not independent of distance to recycling point. The critical value used is χ2(2, 0.05) = 5.99. (2) Barbara's conclusions are still valid because doubling the sample size does not change the test statistic or critical value.

each case the distance, in metres, from their home to the nearest plastic recycling point
was measured and recorded. The results are shown in Table 1

Barbara explains her results to her assistant, Bill. The data were collected by Bill, who
now confesses to Barbara that he actually only collected data from 100 people and then
doubled all his results.

conclusions are still valid.

Charlie has a mobile phone. His parents claim that on average he looks at his mobile phone
no more than 3 times every 30 minutes. Charlie’s teacher suspects that this may not be true
and that Charlie looks at his mobile phone more frequently than 3 times every 30 minutes.
She decides to carry out a hypothesis test of her belief, at a 5% significance level.
She observes Charlie during a 1-hour revision class and notes the number of times that he
looks at his mobile phone.
If Charlie actually looks at his mobile phone at an average rate of 5 times every 30 minutes,
(b) find the power of the teacher’s hypothesis test, stating her hypotheses.

results provide evidence that the die is biased. You should show your working clearly,
including the expected frequencies and the critical value used.

suggest that 0.5% of samples test positive for lead contamination.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA


As part of a new contract the laboratory receives batches of 1000 independent soil samples.
The random variable X represents the number of soil samples that test positive for lead
contamination out of a batch of 1000 independent soil samples.
Ushma wants to calculate the probability that at least 10 soil samples will test positive for
lead contamination out of a batch of 1000 independent soil samples.
(a) (i) State the distribution of X.
(ii) Calculate the percentage error if Ushma uses a Poisson distribution to estimate
this probability.
(6)
Ushma decides to use X  9 as the critical region to test the hypotheses

H0 : p = 0.005 against H1 : p > 0.005

where p is the probability that a randomly selected soil sample tests positive for lead
contamination.

answer.

In rehearsals, Malik throws darts at the dartboard whilst blindfolded until his assistant
tells him he has hit the bullseye 3 times.
(a) (i) Calculate how many darts Malik should expect to throw in order to hit the bullseye
3 times.
(3)
(ii) State two assumptions that need to be made about Malik’s throws of the darts in
order for this calculation to be valid.
(2)
Malik rehearses once a day for each of 100 days.
Given that the assumptions in part (a) are true,
(b) calculate an estimate of the probability that the mean number of throws required is at
least 16
