4 Section B (36 marks) 6 It has been estimated that 90% of paintings offered for sale at a particular auction house are genuine, and that the other 10% are fakes. The auction house has a test to determine whether or not a given painting is genuine. If this test gives a positive result, it suggests that the painting is genuine. A negative result suggests that the painting is a fake. If a painting is genuine, the probability that the test result is positive is 0.95. If a painting is a fake, the probability that the test result is positive is 0.2. (i) Copy and complete the probability tree diagram below, to illustrate the information above. [2] genuine negative

A second test is more accurate, but very expensive. The auction house has a policy of only using this second test on those paintings with a negative result on the original test. (vi) Using your answers to parts (iv) and (v), explain why the auction house has this policy. [2]
The probability that the second test gives a correct result is 0.96 whether the painting is genuine or a fake. (vii) Three paintings are independently offered for sale at the auction house. Calculate the probability that all three paintings are genuine, are judged to be fakes in the first test, but are judged to be genuine in the second test. [4]

When onion seeds are sown outdoors, on average two-thirds of them germinate. A gardener sows seeds in pairs, in the hope that at least one will germinate.
(i) Assuming that germination of one of the seeds in a pair is independent of germination of the other seed, nd the probability that, if a pair of seeds is selected at random,
(A) both seeds germinate, (B) just one seed germinates, (C ) neither seed germinates. [3]
(ii) Explain why the assumption of independence is necessary in order to calculate the above probabilities. Comment on whether the assumption is likely to be valid. [2] (iii) A pair of seeds is sown. Find the expectation and variance of the number of seeds in the pair which germinate. [3] (iv) The gardener plants 200 pairs of seeds. If both seeds in a pair germinate, the gardener destroys one of the two plants so that only one is left to grow. Of the plants that remain after this, only 85% successfully grow to form an onion. Find the expected number of onions grown from the 200 pairs of seeds. [3]
If the seeds are sown in a greenhouse, the germination rate is higher. The seed manufacturing company claims that the germination rate is 90%. The gardener suspects that the rate will not be as high as this, and carries out a trial to investigate. 18 randomly selected seeds are sown in the greenhouse and it is found that 14 germinate.

A psychology student is investigating memory. In an experiment, volunteers are given 30 seconds to try to memorise a number of items. The items are then removed and the volunteers have to try to name all of them. It has been found that the probability that a volunteer names all of the items is 0.35. The student believes that this probability may be increased if the volunteers listen to the same piece of music while memorising the items and while trying to name them. The student selects 15 volunteers at random to do the experiment while listening to music. Of these volunteers, 8 name all of the items.

An online shopping company takes orders through its website. On average 80% of orders from the website are delivered within 24 hours. The quality controller selects 10 orders at random to check when they are delivered.
(i) Find the probability that
(A) exactly 8 of these orders are delivered within 24 hours, (B) at least 8 of these orders are delivered within 24 hours.
[3] [2]
The company changes its delivery method. The quality controller suspects that the changes will mean that fewer than 80% of orders will be delivered within 24 hours. A random sample of 18 orders is checked and it is found that 12 of them arrive within 24 hours.
(ii) Write down suitable hypotheses and carry out a test at the 5% signicance level to determine whether there is any evidence to support the quality controllers suspicion. [7] (iii) A statistician argues that it is possible that the new method could result in either better or worse delivery times. Therefore it would be better to carry out a 2-tail test at the 5% signicance level. State the alternative hypothesis for this test. Assuming that the sample size is still 18, nd the critical region for this test, showing all of your calculations. [7]
