1 When a footballer takes a penalty kick the result is that either a goal is scored or a goal is
notscored.
It is known that, on average, a certain footballer scores a goal on 85% of penalty kicks. During
one practice session, the footballer decides to take penalty kicks until a goal is not scored. You
may assume that the outcome of each penalty kick that the footballer takes is independent of
theoutcome of each other penalty kick.
The random variable representing the number of penalty kicks up to and including the first
penaltykick that does not result in a goal is denoted by X.
(a) State one further assumption that is necessary for X to be modelled by a Geometric
distribution. [1]
For the remainder of this question you may assume that this assumption is valid.
(b) Find each of the following.
• E(X)
• Var(X) [2]
(c) Find the probability that the footballer takes exactly 3 penalty kicks. [2]
(d) Find the probability that the footballer takes at least 5 penalty kicks. [2]
2 The sides of a fair 12-sided spinner are labelled 1, 2, ..., 12.
The spinner is spun and X is the random variable denoting the number on the side of the
spinnerthat it lands on.
(a) Suggest a suitable distribution to model X. You should state the value(s) of any parameter(s).
[2]
(b) Find each of the following.
• E(X)
• Var(X) [2]
You are given that E(X) is denoted by n and Var(X) is denoted by v 2 .
2 (X - n)
(c) Determine P c 2 1m. [3]
