Hot water is dripping through a coffeemaker, filling a large cup with coffee. The amount of coffee in the cup at time $t$, $0 \leq t \leq 6$, is given by a differentiable function $C$, where $t$ is measured in minutes. Selected values of $C ( t )$, measured in ounces, are given in the table below.
\begin{tabular}{ c } $t$
(minutes)
& 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \hline
$C ( t )$
(ounces)
& 0 & 5.3 & 8.8 & 11.2 & 12.8 & 13.8 & 14.5 \hline \end{tabular}
(a) Use the data in the table to approximate $C ^ { \prime } ( 3.5 )$. Show the computations that lead to your answer, and indicate units of measure.
(b) Is there a time $t$, $2 \leq t \leq 4$, at which $C ^ { \prime } ( t ) = 2$? Justify your answer.
(c) Use a midpoint sum with three subintervals of equal length indicated by the data in the table to approximate the value of $\frac { 1 } { 6 } \int _ { 0 } ^ { 6 } C ( t ) \, dt$. Using correct units, explain the meaning of $\frac { 1 } { 6 } \int _ { 0 } ^ { 6 } C ( t ) \, dt$ in the context of the problem.
(d) The amount of coffee in the cup, in ounces, is modeled by $B ( t ) = 16 - 16 e ^ { - 0.4 t }$. Using this model, find the rate at which the amount of coffee in the cup is changing when $t = 5$.
Concert tickets went on sale at noon $( t = 0 )$ and were sold out within 9 hours. The number of people waiting in line to purchase tickets at time $t$ is modeled by a twice-differentiable function $L$ for $0 \leq t \leq 9$. Values of $L ( t )$ at various times $t$ are shown in the table below.
$t$ (hours)0134789
$L ( t )$ (people)120156176126150800

(a) Use the data in the table to estimate the rate at which the number of people waiting in line was changing at 5:30 P.M. $( t = 5.5 )$. Show the computations that lead to your answer. Indicate units of measure.
(b) Use a trapezoidal sum with three subintervals to estimate the average number of people waiting in line during the first 4 hours that tickets were on sale.
(c) For $0 \leq t \leq 9$, what is the fewest number of times at which $L ^ { \prime } ( t )$ must equal 0 ? Give a reason for your answer.
(d) The rate at which tickets were sold for $0 \leq t \leq 9$ is modeled by $r ( t ) = 550 t e ^ { - t / 2 }$ tickets per hour. Based on the model, how many tickets were sold by 3 P.M. ( $t = 3$ ), to the nearest whole number?
Exercise 3 (3 points)
Part A:
A health control agency is interested in the number of bacteria of a certain type contained in fresh cream. It performs analyses on 10000 samples of 1 ml of fresh cream from the entire French production. The results are given in the table below:
\begin{tabular}{ l } Number of bacteria
(in thousands)
& $[100;120[$ & $[120;130[$ & $[130;140[$ & $[140;150[$ & $[150;160[$ & $[160;180[$ \hline Number of samples & 1597 & 1284 & 2255 & 1808 & 1345 & 1711 \hline \end{tabular}
Using a calculator, give an estimate of the mean and standard deviation of the number of bacteria per sample.
Part B:
The agency then decides to model the number of bacteria studied (in thousands per ml) present in fresh cream by a random variable $X$ following the normal distribution with parameters $\mu = 140$ and $\sigma = 19$.
  1. a. Is this choice of modelling relevant? Argue. b. We denote $p = P(X \geqslant 160)$. Determine the value of $p$ rounded to $10^{-3}$.
  2. During the inspection of a dairy, the health control agency analyzes a sample of 50 samples of 1 ml of fresh cream from the production of this dairy; 13 samples contain more than 160 thousand bacteria. a. The agency declares that there is an anomaly in the production and that it can affirm it with a probability of 0.05 of being wrong. Justify its declaration. b. Could it have affirmed it with a probability of 0.01 of being wrong?
  1. Between 1998 and 2020, in France 18221965 deliveries were recorded, of which 293898 resulted in the birth of twins and 4921 resulted in the birth of at least three children. a. With a precision of $0.1\%$ calculate, among all recorded deliveries, the percentage of deliveries resulting in the birth of twins over the period 1998-2020. b. Verify that the percentage of deliveries that resulted in the birth of at least three children is less than $0.1\%$.

We then consider that this percentage is negligible. We call an ordinary delivery a delivery resulting in the birth of a single child. We call a double delivery a delivery resulting in the birth of exactly two children. We consider in the rest of the exercise that a delivery is either ordinary or double. The probability of an ordinary delivery is equal to 0.984 and that of a double delivery is then equal to 0.016. The probabilities calculated in the rest will be rounded to the nearest thousandth.
2. We admit that on a given day in a maternity ward, $n$ deliveries are performed. We consider that these $n$ deliveries are independent of each other. We denote $X$ the random variable that gives the number of double deliveries performed that day. a. In the case where $n = 20$, specify the probability distribution followed by the random variable $X$ and calculate the probability that exactly one double delivery is performed. b. By the method of your choice that you will explain, determine the smallest value of $n$ such that $P ( X \geqslant 1 ) \geqslant 0.99$. Interpret the result in the context of the exercise.
3. In this maternity ward, among double births, it is estimated that there are $30\%$ monozygotic twins (called ``identical twins'' which are necessarily of the same sex: two boys or two girls) and therefore $70\%$ dizygotic twins (called ``fraternal twins'', which can be of different sexes: two boys, two girls or one boy and one girl). In the case of double births, we admit that, as for ordinary births, the probability of being a girl at birth is equal to 0.49 and that of being a boy at birth is equal to 0.51. In the case of a double birth of dizygotic twins, we also admit that the sex of the second newborn of the twins is independent of the sex of the first newborn. We randomly choose a double delivery performed in this maternity ward and we consider the following events:
  • $M$ : ``the twins are monozygotic'';
  • $F _ { 1 }$ : ``the first newborn is a girl'';
  • $F _ { 2 }$ : ``the second newborn is a girl''.
We will denote $P ( A )$ the probability of event $A$ and $\bar { A }$ the opposite event of $A$. a. Copy and complete the probability tree. b. Show that the probability that the two newborns are girls is 0.315 07. c. The two newborns are twin girls. Calculate the probability that they are monozygotic.

Exercise 1 — Part B
We randomly choose a person who came to the multisports centre on a weekend. We denote $T_1$ the random variable giving their total waiting time in minutes before access to sports activities during Saturday and $T_2$ the random variable giving their total waiting time in minutes before access to sports activities during Sunday. We admit that:
  • $T_1$ follows a probability distribution with expectation $E(T_1) = 40$ and standard deviation $\sigma(T_1) = 10$;
  • $T_2$ follows a probability distribution with expectation $E(T_2) = 60$ and standard deviation $\sigma(T_2) = 16$;
  • the random variables $T_1$ and $T_2$ are independent.
We denote $T$ the random variable giving the total waiting time before access to sports activities over the two days, expressed in minutes. Thus we have $T = T_1 + T_2$.
  1. Determine the expectation $E(T)$ of the random variable $T$. Interpret the result in the context of the exercise.
  2. Show that the variance $V(T)$ of the random variable $T$ is equal to 356.
  3. Using the Bienaymé-Chebyshev inequality, show that, for a person randomly chosen among those who came to the multisports centre on a weekend, the probability that their total waiting time $T$ is strictly between 60 and 140 minutes is greater than 0.77.
