5. It has been suggested that the outbreak of H1N1 in Mexico in 2009 can be modelled by a
special type of differential equation called Logistic Equation. In this model, x denotes the
number of infected individuals in the population of a town at any time t days. The differential
equation is given by

=

where 0.2 indicates the initial growth rate of the virus and N can be taken to be the population.
It was known that a small town has a population of 1000 and initially 20 people were infected
with H1N1.

(ii) Hence sketch the solution curve, indicating clearly asymptotes and axial intercepts if any. [2]

(iii) Deduce the number of days when 75% of the population will be infected with H1N1.
State one assumption you have made about the population in your calculation. [3]

known that P(55+a X 55 +b) =0.6423 where a and b are constants. This information is

9. (a) Find the number of 3-letter code-words that can be formed from the letters of the word
EPICENTRE. [4]

(b) A group of 10 people consists of 3 married couples, 3 single women and 1 single man.
They are seated at a round table for a lunch gathering.
Find the number of different possible seating arrangements if
(i) each couple must sit together and the 3 single women are separated. [3]
(ii) the seats are numbered and the 3 single women must be together. [2]

10. 100 male and female customers patronised a book shop which sold only non-fiction books,
fiction books and magazines. Each customer bought only one item. A breakdown of what the
customers bought is given in the following table:

Non-fiction Books Fiction Books Magazines
Male 12 16 32
Female 8 12 20

One customer is chosen at random. Find the probability that:
(i) the customer is female given that the customer bought a magazine, [1]
(ii) the customer is female or bought a magazine. [2]

State, with a reason, whether the event that the customer is male and the event that the
customer bought a non-fiction book are independent. [2]

Three customers are chosen at random.
(iii) Find the probability that two bought magazines and one bought a fiction book. [2]

11. In a particular city, 1 in every 500 people has a high IQ, on average.
(i) Show that, in a random sample of 20 people from the city, the probability that there is
at least one person with a high IQ is 0.0392, correct to 3 significant figures. [1]
(ii) A random sample of 60 groups of 20 people each is taken from the city.
Using a suitable approximation, find the probability that there are exactly 2 groups
with at least one person having a high IQ in the group. [3]
(iii) Another random sample of 30 people is taken from the city and arranged in some order.
Find the probability that, in this sample, there are at most 3 people with a high IQ and
the first person with a high IQ is the 20
th
person. [3]
