3 A teacher wishes to find an equation that can relate age, x, (in months) with height, y, (in cm) of a student. The teacher randomly chooses ten students and the following data are obtained.

x 1 670, y 1 370, x 2 289 746, y 2189 008, xy 232 454

(i) If the equation of the regression line of y on x is y a bx , determine the values of a and b, correct to two decimal places. [6 marks] (ii) Estimate the height of a 14-year old student. [2 marks]

(iii) Give a reason as to why this regression line is not suitable in predicting the height of a 30 year-old person. [1 mark]

4 The probabilities of two events A and B are given by P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5 respectively. (a) Calculate P( A B) if (i) A and B are mutually exclusive, (ii) A and B are independent. (b) For the case A dan B are independent, calculate P ( A B ' ) [2 marks] [2 marks] [2 marks]

5 Bag A contains 2 blue balls and 3 white balls, while bag B contains 1 blue ball and 5 white balls. A ball is drawn from each bag.
