3. In a farm, 45% of the chicks hatched from eggs are males.
(a) If 7 eggs are chosen at random, calculate the probability that 2 or more male chicks are
hatched.
(b) If there are 1000 eggs in the farm, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the number

3. SPM 2004, PAPER 2. QUESTION 11.
(a) A club organizes a practice session for trainees on scoring goals from penalty kicks. Each
trainee takes 8 penalty kicks. The probability that a trainee scores a goal from a penalty kick
is p. After the session, it is found that the mean number of goals for a trainee is 4.8.
(i) Find the value of p.
(ii) If a trainee is chosen at random, find the probability that he scores at least one goal.
4. SPM 2005, PAPER 2. QUESTION 11.
For this question, give your answer correct to three significant figures.
(a) The result of a study shows that 20% of the pupils in a city cycle to school. If 8 pupils from
the city are chosen at random, calculate the probability that
(i) exactly 2 of them cycle to school,
(ii) less than 3 of them cycle to school.
