    Answer all questions in the answer booklet provided. Please start each question on a new page. Full
    marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported
    by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be supported
    by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch these as part
    of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided
    this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.

    1. [Maximum mark: 29]

    Six balls numbered 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 7 are put into a bag. For each part of this question, balls are randomly
    selected from the bag one at a time with replacement. That is, after a ball is selected from the bag the
    number on it is noted and it is put back into the bag before another selection is made.

    (a) A single ball is taken out of the bag. Let X represent the number shown on the ball. Find the
    value of E ( X ) . [2]

    (b) Three balls are selected from the bag with replacement.

    (i) Show that there are three different ways that the sum of the three numbers can be 5. [3]

    (ii) Find the probability that the sum of the three numbers is 5. [3]

    1
    (iii) Show that the probability that the sum of the three numbers is 9 is . [3]
    8
    (iv) Find the probability that the median of the three numbers is 1. [3]

    (c) Ten balls are selected from the bag with replacement. Find the probability that less than
    four of the selections display the number 5. [3]

    (d) (i) n balls are selected with replacement. The probability that at least one selection
    displays the number 5 is greater than 0.95. Show that the minimum value of n is 8. [2]

    (ii) Find the least number of balls that must be selected from the bag for the probability
    of at least one ball displaying the number 7 to be greater than 0.85. [3]

    (e) Another bag contains k balls numbered 1, 2, 5 or 7. Eight balls are randomly selected from this
    bag with replacement. It is calculated that when selecting eight balls the expected number of
    balls displaying the number 1 is exactly 4.8, and the variance of the number of balls displaying
    the number 2 is exactly 1.5. When each of the eight selections occur the probability of selecting
    a ball that is numbered 1 or 2 is equal to W. Find the value of W. [7]
