Course code: EFT13003


Course Name: INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS
Academic session: September 2025/2026
Name lecturer: Dr. Siti Aisyah
Instruction: Answer all the questions.
Total Marks: 30 percent

Question 1
The mean number of bacteria per 3 millilitres of a liquid is known to be 18. Find
the probability that in 1 ml of the liquid, there will be: (a) 0, (b) 1, (c) 2, (d) 3, (e)
less than 4, (f) 6 bacteria

Question 2
Suppose it has been observed that, on average, 180 cars per hour pass a
specified point on a particular road in the morning rush hour. Due to impending
roadworks, it is estimated that congestion will occur closer to the city centre if
more than 5 cars pass the point in any one minute. What is the probability of
congestion occurring?

Question 3
In a geological survey, it is observed that on average, 3 out of 5 rock samples collected from
a specific site contain traces of rare earth elements (REE). A geologist randomly selects 8
rock samples from the site. What is the probability that fewer than 4 of these samples
contain traces of rare earth elements?

Question 4
A scientist is testing water samples from four different rivers in a region to check for safe
drinking quality. Due to pollution in the area, the probability that any one river fails the safety
test (i.e., is not safe to drink) is 0.7. Find the probability that:
a) At least one river passes the safety test.
b) Exactly two rivers pass the safety test.
