 Using above table:

  • What is the mean daily distance commuted by the employees.
  • What is the modal daily distance commuted by the employees.
  • What is the median daily distance commuted by the employees.
  • What is the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean daily distance commuted by the employees

3. The amount of coffee dispensed into a 250 g disposable coffee cup by an automated coffee machine at a StarrBoks shop is normally distributed with a mean of 245 g and a standard deviation of 3 g.

  • Determine the percentage of the 250 g disposable coffee cups that are expected to contain between 239 g and 249 g of coffee.
  • Determine the percentage of the 250 g disposable coffee cups that are expected to contain less than 238 g or more than 253 g of coffee.
  • Determine the probability that coffee dispensed into a randomly selected 250 g disposable coffee cup at the StarrBoks shop will spill.
  • The policy at the StarrBoks shop is to dispose of, and replace, the coffee in all cases of spillage at the automated machine. Assuming the price of a 250 g cup of coffee is R25, determine the lost revenue because of coffee spillage and disposal on a particular day during which 500 people purchased a cup of coffee each at the StarrBoks shop.
  • Suppose that the manager of the StarrBoks shop decides to recalibrate the coffee machine so that the amount of coffee dispensed is normally distributed with a mean of 246 g and a standard deviation of 2 g. Determine the percentage of the 250 g disposable coffee cups that will spill over.

4. A certain type of diabetes medication is packed in bottles of 12 pills each. Historical evidence has shown that 10% of the pills are chipped during the manufacturing process.

  • A patient has just purchased a random bottle of the pills. Determine the probability that at least two of the pills in that bottle are chipped.
  • A patient has just purchased a random bottle of the pills. Determine the probability that at most two of the pills in that bottle are chipped.

5. An education researcher has hypothesized that the final mark obtained by high school students in the grade 11 mathematics examination is predictive of the subsequent mark obtained by the students in the Matric physical science examination. The Table below represents the data for twenty randomly selected students from high schools across the Cape Province.

  • Based on the education researcher’s data, determine the Pearson Correlation Coefficient.
  • The linear regression equation obtained by the education researcher is given by the expression, y = a + bx. Determine 'a' and 'b'.
  • If a randomly selected student obtained a final mark of 39% in his grade 11 mathematics examination, estimate the subsequent mark obtained by the student in the Matric physical science and state whether the student did pass the Matric physical science examination. Suppose that the Matric Physical Science pass mark is 50%.
  • For the student with student Ref “1335”, the education researcher incorrectly captured a Matric physical science mark of 57%. The correct mark is 33%. Determine the new linear regression equation in the form: y = a + bx, where ‘x’ is the grade 11 mathematics examination final mark and ‘y’ is the Matric physical science mark.
  • By taking into consideration the revised information provided in question 24, determine the expected Pearson Correlation Coefficient
