(ii) P(− 9 ≤ z ≤ 0 ) (i) P(0 ≤ z ≤ 1.2 ) (iii) P(0.3 ≤ z ≤ 1.56 ) (iv) P(− 1.56 ≤ z ≤ −2 ) (b) (i) Find the value of a such that P (− a ≤ z ≤ a ) = 0.90 (ii) Find the value of b such that P(− b ≤ z ≤ b ) = 0.99 (iii) Find the value of c such that P (z ≤ c ) = 0.8643 (c) The random variable X follows the binomial B (n, p ) distribution with probability mass n x n− x function f ( x ) = p q x = 0,1,...., n , o < p < 1 , where q = 1 − p . x Show that E ( x ) = np and var( x ) = npq A mathematical class in a school is divided in to set A with 12 students and set B with 25 students. Both groups are given a test consisting of 16 short questions. For any student in set A, the score (that is the number of correct answers) is distributed as B(16,0.75) for any student in set B, the score is distributed as B(16,0.5).All students answer independently. Find the probability that, (i) A given set A student gets all 16 questions right. (ii) At least one student in set A gets all 16 questions right (2) (a) The random variable X has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ so that
