The following is a suggested solution by our H2 and H1 Math Tutor, Mr. Teng. Please note that it is a suggested solutions and was rushed out. Mr. Teng omitted several presentation steps out of convenience. There might be alternative solutions at times too. Feel free to comment and discuss. Please let us know if there are mistakes too. Thanks in advance.
PLEASE NOTE THAT STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO WRITE STATE YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS CLEARLY. We omitted for convenience.
Disclaimer: This suggested solutions is provided free by Mr. Teng & Singapore Learner. Both parties do not profit from this. We simply believe that this will help current students and future students to learn from the mistakes of others. Thanks.
ERRATA & Remarks:
6(ii) I miscounted and was careless.
Case 1: A plays midfield, B sits out of attacker =>3c1 x 8c4 x 4c1 x 5c4
Case 2: A sits out midfield, B plays attacker => 3c1 x 8c4 x 4c2 x 5c3
Case 1 + Case 2 =1 6800
(iii) I doubled counted indeed. Thanks for pointing out. Should be
Case 1: Midfielder A plays midfield => 8c4 x 3c1
Case 2: Midfielder A plays defender => 8c3 x 3c2
Case 3: Midfielder A sits out => 8c4 x 3c2
3c1 x 5c4 x (8c4 x 3c1 + 8c3 x 3c2 + 8c4 x 3c2) = 8820
8ai. I drew the left side of the quadratic. It should be the right side. my bad.
9. I initially used Z-Test for this question. But T-test is definitely more appropriate as we are given as unknown population variance. I changed it to T-test in the following solutions, but understand that some teachers consider Z-Test to be acceptable too. I should highlight that nobody has access to the actual answer scheme; we only see the marker’s report.
(ii), (iii) Set notations should be used. {t>3.48} and {0<k^2<0.423}
11. Please take note that I used CLT here, so cc is not required.
– I understand some students misunderstand that CLT is used to find the mean of any distribution. This is a terrible misconception. CLT is a limiting theorem, and we apply it to approximate a non-normal distribution to a normal distribution, given n is sufficient. And they can be sum of independent random variables, sample sum, or sample mean. You can read more from the link below.

– Why I used CLT approximation instead of poisson approximation (Poisson approximation is not incorrect either): I used continuity correction in qn 7 alr, so given examiner psychology, I would think they want to be impressed with something different. That’s why I picked CLT approximation. Do note that this does not mean that doing poisson approximation is wrong; so long as you perform cc precisely.
I do hope this clarifies, and I’m sorry it came late as I was ill and had jc1 classes yesterday too.
