Where necessary, round off to four decimal places. QUESTION 1 16 MARKS Daniel and Tshepo are old boys of St Benedict’s and they sometimes attend the Saturday home sports Fixtures. The probability P(D), that Daniel attends a fixture is 0.70. The probability P(T), that Tshepo attends a fixture is 0.55. The probability that they both attend a fixture is 0.45. a) Find the probability that either Daniel or Tshepo or both attend a fixture. (3) b) Find the probability that either Daniel or Tshepo but not both attend a fixture. (2) c) What is the probability that Daniel attends a fixture given that Tshepo is definitely going to attend? (3) d) Give a numerical justification for the following statement: “ Events D and T are not independent” (4) Jaryd and Craig are also old boys and they also sometimes attend the home fixtures. The probability P(J), that Jaryd attends a fixture is 0.65. The probability P(C), that Craig attends a fixture is 0.45. e) If the attendance of all four of these old boys at a fixture is independent of one another, what is the probability that all four attend a particular fixture? (2) f) What is the probability that none of them attend a particular fixture?

Online orders are “incomplete” if they contain substitute items or have at least one item missing when delivered. The probability that an order is incomplete is 0.15 a) Calculate the probability that exactly 2 of a random sample of 30 online orders have at least one item missing when delivered. (4) b) Determine the probability that the number of incomplete orders in a sample of 50 online orders will be more that 6 but fewer than 10. (5) QUESTION 3 6 MARKS A mother goes shopping with her three children and buys 14 items. On her way home the shopping bag breaks. She decides to carry five items herself, gives two to her youngest child, three to the middle child and four to her eldest child. In how many ways can the 14 items be distributed in this manner? Grade 12 3 of 7 AP Mathematics Paper 2 QUESTION 4 17 MARKS a) The length of aluminium baking foil on a roll may be modelled by a normal distribution with a mean of 91 metres and a standard deviation of 0.8 metres. Determine the probability that the length of foil on a particular roll is: i) less than 90 metres. (6) ii) not exactly 90 metres (2) iii) between 91 metres and 92.5 metres. (4) b) The length of cling wrap on a roll may also be modelled by a normal distribution but with a mean of 153 metres and a standard deviation of 𝜎 metres. It is required that 1% of the rolls of cling wrap should have a length less that 150 meters. Find the value of 𝜎 that is needed to satisfy this requirement.

(7) b) What size of sample would need to be taken in order to estimate the percentage within ±2%, with the same confidence. (5) QUESTION 6 14 MARKS A probability density function is defined as follows: 𝑞(4 − 𝑥); 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4 𝑓(𝑥) = { for some constant q 0 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 a) Determine the value of q. (5) b) Calculate p(1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2) (4) c) Calculate the median of this distribution. (5) Grade 12 5 of 7 AP Mathematics Paper 2 QUESTION 7 14 MARKS A company produces low-energy light bulbs. The bulbs are described as using 9 watts of power, with a standard deviation of 1.3 watts. The production manager is concerned that the new machine being used on the production line has changed this and he asks you to conduct a test at a 5% significance level to check whether his concern is valid. You use a random sample of 120 bulbs of the latest batch produced and find that the mean of the sample is 9.2 watts. a) Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the conclusion you would give to the production manager. (8) b) When you provide your conclusion, the production manager says that his intention was actually to ask whether the bulbs in the batch use more than 9 watts since the new machine. Conduct the hypothesis test in this case and provide the new conclusion you would give him. Grade 12 6 of 7 (6) AP Mathematics Paper 2 QUESTION 8 12 MARKS The following data was collected during an experiment to determine the effect of temperature, (𝑥° C) on the pH (y) of soya milk. a) By observing the above data, explain what is revealed about the relationship between 𝑥 and 𝑦. (1) b) Use your calculator to evaluate the correlation coefficient r for this data and make a conclusion about the strength of the straight line relationship. (3) c) Your calculator is faulty and won’t allow you to find the line of regression directly (ie it won’t let you calculate a and b.) However, it will allow you to use the sum function. Use this information to calculate the value of b for this data and hence calculate the equation of the line of best fit showing all of your working out. (5) d) i) Determine the pH of soya milk at 95°C. (1) ii) Indicate, with a reason, how reliable this estimate might be. Grade 12 7 of 7 (2) AP Mathematics Paper 2
