QUESTION 9 (4 Marks) Considering the details outlined in question 8 and assuming a stratified sampling approach informed the random selection of the 20 graduate interns, how many of the total population of 50 interns who participated in the internship program were probably offered employment letters by ABC Ltd? A. 18 B. 14 C. 12 D. 10 Study the information provided below and answer questions 10 – 12.

However, assuming that the stratified sampling approach was used, it means that the sample of 20 graduate interns was representative of the total population of 50 interns. If we knew the proportion of the 20 interns who were offered employment letters, we could Show more…

In a certain recruitment test there are multiple choice questions. There are 4 possible answers to each question and of which one is correct. An intelligent student knows $90 \%$ of the answer while a weak student knows only $20 \%$. If an intelligent student gets the correct answer, then the probability that he was guessing is (A) $\frac{1}{37}$ (B) $\frac{36}{37}$ (C) $\frac{14}{37}$ (D) none of these
A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 10 questions. Each question has four choices. The student guesses randomly at each answer. Model a discrete probability distribution for the number of correct answers on this test as a binomial probability distribution. a) Find P(3). b) Find P(More than 2). c) What is the mean of the expected number of correct answers from this probability distribution? d) What is the standard deviation from the mean of the number of correct answers from this probability distribution? e) To pass the test, the student must answer 7 or more questions correctly. Would it be unusual for the student to pass? Explain.

4. A multiple-choice test has 15 questions. Each question has five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Suppose that one of the students answers each of the questions with an independent random guess. (a) Let X be the number of questions this student gets correct. What distribution does X have? What are the values of the parameters? (b) What is the expected number of correct answers on this exam? (c) What is the probability that the student will get at least 10 correct answers? Make sure you explain how you got your answer, i.e. how you used a chart of Excel to find this probability.
