cycle to school. If 8 pupils from the city are chosen at random,
calculate the probability that
i. Exactly2 of them cycle to school.
ii. Less than 3 of them cycle to school.

(b) The masses of watermelons produced from an orchard follow

a normal distribution with a mean of 3.2 kg and a standard
deviation of 0.5 kg. Find
i. The probability that a watermelon chosen randomly
from the orchard has a mass of not more than 4.0 kg.
ii. The value of if 60% of the watermelons from the

2) An orchard produces lemons. Only lemons with diameter,

greater than cm are graded and marketed.Table 3 shows the
grades of the lemons based on their diameters.
Grade
Diameter,
>7 7>5 5>
(cm)

Table 3

It is given that the diameters of the lemons have a normal

distribution with a mean of 5.8 cm and a standard deviation of
1.5 cm.

a) If one lemon is picked at random, calculate the probability that

it is of grade .
b) In a basket of 500 lemons, estimate the number of grade
lemons.
c) If 85.7% of the lemons is marketed, find the value of .

the probability that
i. Exactly2 students have handphones.
ii. More than 2 students have handphones.

b) A group of workers are given medical checkup. The blood

pressure of a worker has a normal distribution with a mean of
130 mmHg and a standard deviation of 16 mmHg. Blood
pressure that is more than 150 mmHg is classified as high
blood pressure.
i. A worker is chosen at random from the group. Find the
probability that the worker has a blood pressure
between 114 mmHg and 150 mmHg.
ii. It is found that 132 workers have high blood pressure.
Find the total number of workers in the group.
