STK110 Preparation sheet: TUT 7B 2023
Please note: When applicable, please round to four (4) decimal places
Question 1 is based on the following information:
It is known that 72% of STK110 students have uncapped internet access. Consider a random sample of
20 STK110 students.
Let 𝑥 = the number of STK110 students with uncapped internet access.
𝑝̅ = the proportion of STK110 students with uncapped internet access.
Use the following extract from Excel to answer questions a to e:
Formula sheet Value sheet
Take note: Rows are hidden for 𝑥 6 and 𝑥 17.
a. Calculate the total number of experimental outcomes.
b. Give the total number of experimental outcomes that with result in 7 STK110 students with
uncapped internet access.
c. Calculate the probability that only the last two STK110 students will have no uncapped internet
access (5 dec)
d. Calculate the probability that exactly 9 of the STK110 students in the random sample have no
uncapped internet access.
e. Determine the probability that more than 10 of the STK110 students in the random sample have no
uncapped internet access.
f. Calculate the probability that the proportion of STK110 students with uncapped internet access is
more than 0.85.
g. Determine the 10th percentile of 𝑝̅ .
h. Calculate the probability that the sampling error of 𝑝̅ for a random sample of 20 students, will be
greater than 0.2.
