A2 P3 exam revision practise questions (set 2)

Here is the 2nd set, A2 exam revision practice questions for those taking A2 P3 exam this Oct/Nov 2014 :-

PROBABILITY

1) Telephone calls reach a secretary independently and at random, internal ones at a mean rate of 2 in any 5 minute period, and external ones at a mean rate of 1 in any 5 minute period. Calculate the probability that there will be more than 2 calls in any period of 2 minutes.

2) The probability density function of a continuous random variable (X) is given by

(begin{align}
f(x)& =dfrac{2}{3} x,&
1 leqslant x leqslant 2,\
f(x)& =0,&
otherwise.
end{align})

(a) Find (i) (E(X^2)), (ii) (E(X^4)), (iii) the cumulative distribution function of (X).
(b) Suppose (X) is the length of the side of a square. (i) Find the mean and the variance of the area of the square. (ii) Show that the area of the square has a uniform distribution over a certain interval which should be specified.

A2 P3 exam revision practise questions (set 1)

Over the next few weeks we will upload a series of practice questions and answers.

Here is the 1st set, A2 exam revision practice questions for those taking A2 P3 exam this Oct/Nov 2014 :-

      1) If (0 < theta < 90^{circ})

          (i) find the exact value of (sintheta) if (6sin 2theta = 5cos theta)
          (ii) if instead (theta) satisfies the equation (8cos theta cosec^2 theta = 3) find the exact value of (cos theta)
      2)

          (i) Use the identity for (cos (A + B)) to prove that (4cos(theta + 60^{circ})cos(theta+30^{circ}) equiv sqrt{3} – 2sin 2theta)
          (ii) Hence find the exact value of (4 cos 82.5^{circ} cos 52.5^{circ})
          (iii) Solve for (0 < theta < 90^{circ}), the equation (4cos(theta + 60^{circ})cos(theta+30^{circ}) = 1)
          (iv) Given that there are no values of (theta) which satisfy the equation (4cos(theta + 60^{circ})cos(theta+30^{circ}) = k) determine the set of values of the constant k
