i. Let X be the mark got in the examination.

Let C be the minimum mark required to get an A.

X ~ N(75, 82)

P(get A) = 15%

P(z > (C - 75)/8) = 0.15

(C - 75)/8 = 1.036521739

C = 83.3 (1 d.p.)

The minimum mark required is 83.3.


ii.a. P(at least one head)

= 1 - P(no head)

= 1 - P(3 tails)

= 1 - (1/2)3

= 7/8

b. P(exactly two heads)

= P(two heads and one tail)

= 3C2 X (1/2)2 X (1/2)

= 3/8
