Ten thousand people take part in a challenge using the website in which they have one attempt at getting four sixes in the four throws of the dice. The number of people who succeed in getting four sixes is denoted by the random variable X. (a) Show that, for each person, the probability that the person gets four sixes is equal to 1 . [1] (b) Explain why you could use either a binomial distribution or a Poisson distribution to model the distribution of X. [3] (c) Use a Poisson distribution to calculate each of the following probabilities. • P(X = 10) • P(X 2 10) [3] (d) In another challenge on the website, 50 people are each given 20 independent attempts to try to get four sixes as often as they can. Determine the probability that no more than 2 people succeed in getting four sixes at least once in their 20 attempts.

The student finds the average minimum temperature, x °C, from across the country on a day. The student then finds the total electricity consumption for that day, y GWh. The scatter diagram below shows the values of x and y obtained from a random sample of 10 winter days. It also shows the equation of the regression line of y on x and the value of r2, where r is the product moment correlation coefficient. y -4 -2 0 x 2 4 6 8 10 (a) Use the regression line to estimate the electricity consumption at each of the following average minimum temperatures. • 5 °C • -4 °C [2] (b) Comment on the reliability of your estimates.
