7 maths questions

Q1 Exponential Distribution View
Let $X$ be a random variable that follows the exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a given strictly positive real number. We recall that the probability density of this distribution is the function $f$ defined on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$ by $$f ( x ) = \lambda \mathrm { e } ^ { - \lambda x } .$$
a. Let $c$ and $d$ be two real numbers such that $0 \leqslant c < d$.
Prove that the probability $P ( c \leqslant X \leqslant d )$ satisfies $$P ( c \leqslant X \leqslant d ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { - \lambda c } - \mathrm { e } ^ { - \lambda d } .$$
b. Determine a value of $\lambda$ to $10 ^ { - 3 }$ near such that the probability $P ( X > 20 )$ is equal to 0.05. c. Give the expectation of the random variable $X$
In the rest of the exercise we take $\boldsymbol { \lambda } = \mathbf { 0 , 1 5 }$.
d. Calculate $P ( 10 \leqslant X \leqslant 20 )$. e. Calculate the probability of the event $( X > 18 )$.
2. Let $Y$ be a random variable that follows the normal distribution with expectation 16 and standard deviation 1.95. a. Calculate the probability of the event $( 20 \leqslant Y \leqslant 21 )$. b. Calculate the probability of the event $( Y < 11 ) \cup ( Y > 21 )$.
Q1 (Part 2) Conditional Probability Direct Conditional Probability Computation from Definitions View
A chain of stores wishes to build customer loyalty by offering gift vouchers to its privileged customers. Each of them receives a gift voucher of green or red colour on which an amount is written. Gift vouchers are distributed so as to have, in each store, one quarter of red vouchers and three quarters of green vouchers. Green gift vouchers take the value of 30 euros with a probability equal to 0.067 or values between 0 and 15 euros with unspecified probabilities here. Similarly, red gift vouchers take the values 30 or 100 euros with probabilities respectively equal to 0.015 and 0.010 or values between 10 and 20 euros with unspecified probabilities here.
Calculate the probability of having a gift voucher with a value greater than or equal to 30 euros knowing that it is red.
Q2 (Part 2) Conditional Probability Total Probability via Tree Diagram (Two-Stage Partition) View
A chain of stores wishes to build customer loyalty by offering gift vouchers to its privileged customers. Each of them receives a gift voucher of green or red colour on which an amount is written. Gift vouchers are distributed so as to have, in each store, one quarter of red vouchers and three quarters of green vouchers. Green gift vouchers take the value of 30 euros with a probability equal to 0.067 or values between 0 and 15 euros with unspecified probabilities here. Similarly, red gift vouchers take the values 30 or 100 euros with probabilities respectively equal to 0.015 and 0.010 or values between 10 and 20 euros with unspecified probabilities here.
Show that an approximate value to $10 ^ { - 3 }$ near of the probability of having a gift voucher with a value greater than or equal to 30 euros is equal to 0.057. For the following question, this value is used.
Q2 Vectors: Lines & Planes Multi-Step Geometric Modeling Problem View
In an orthonormal reference frame ( $\mathrm { O } , \mathrm { I } , \mathrm { J } , \mathrm { K }$ ) with unit 1 cm, we consider the points $\mathrm { A } ( 0 ; - 1 ; 5 )$, $\mathrm { B } ( 2 ; - 1 ; 5 ) , \mathrm { C } ( 11 ; 0 ; 1 ) , \mathrm { D } ( 11 ; 4 ; 4 )$.
A point $M$ moves on the line ( AB ) in the direction from A to B at a speed of 1 cm per second.
A point $N$ moves on the line (CD) in the direction from C to D at a speed of 1 cm per second. At time $t = 0$ the point $M$ is at A and the point $N$ is at C. We denote $M _ { t }$ and $N _ { t }$ the positions of points $M$ and $N$ after $t$ seconds, $t$ denoting a positive real number. We admit that $M _ { t }$ and $N _ { t }$ have coordinates: $M _ { t } ( t ; - 1 ; 5 )$ and $N _ { t } ( 11 ; 0,8 t ; 1 + 0,6 t )$. Questions 1 and 2 are independent.
1. a. The line $( \mathrm { AB } )$ is parallel to one of the axes $( \mathrm { OI } )$, (OJ) or (OK). Which one? b. The line $( \mathrm { CD } )$ lies in a plane $\mathscr { P }$ parallel to one of the planes $( \mathrm { OIJ } )$, (OIK) or (OJK). Which one? An equation of this plane $\mathscr { P }$ will be given. c. Verify that the line $( \mathrm { AB } )$, orthogonal to the plane $\mathscr { P }$, intersects this plane at the point $\mathrm { E } ( 11 ; - 1 ; 5 )$. d. Are the lines ( AB ) and ( CD ) secant?
2. a. Show that $M _ { t } N _ { t } ^ { 2 } = 2 t ^ { 2 } - 25,2 t + 138$. b. At what time $t$ is the length $M _ { t } N _ { t }$ minimal?
Q3 (Part 2) Hypothesis test of binomial distributions View
A chain of stores wishes to build customer loyalty by offering gift vouchers to its privileged customers. Each of them receives a gift voucher of green or red colour on which an amount is written. Gift vouchers are distributed so as to have, in each store, one quarter of red vouchers and three quarters of green vouchers. Green gift vouchers take the value of 30 euros with a probability equal to 0.067 or values between 0 and 15 euros with unspecified probabilities here. Similarly, red gift vouchers take the values 30 or 100 euros with probabilities respectively equal to 0.015 and 0.010 or values between 10 and 20 euros with unspecified probabilities here.
In one of the stores of this chain, out of 200 privileged customers, 6 received a gift voucher with a value greater than or equal to $30 €$.
The manager of the store in question believes that this number is insufficient and doubts the random distribution of gift vouchers in the different stores of the chain. Are his doubts justified?
Q3 (non-speciality) Complex Numbers Arithmetic Trigonometric/Polar Form and De Moivre's Theorem View
1. Solve in the set $\mathbb { C }$ of complex numbers the equation (E) with unknown $z$ : $$z ^ { 2 } - 8 z + 64 = 0$$
The complex plane is equipped with a direct orthonormal reference frame $( \mathrm { O } ; \vec { u } , \vec { v } )$.
2. We consider the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C with affixes respectively $a = 4 + 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$, $b = 4 - 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$ and $c = 8 \mathrm { i }$. a. Calculate the modulus and an argument of the number $a$. b. Give the exponential form of the numbers $a$ and $b$. c. Show that the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C lie on the same circle with center O whose radius will be determined. d. Place the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C in the reference frame ( $\mathrm { O } ; \vec { u } , \vec { v }$ ).
For the rest of the exercise, you may use the figure from question 2. d. completed as the questions progress.
3. We consider the points $\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } , \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime }$ and $\mathrm { C } ^ { \prime }$ with affixes respectively $a ^ { \prime } = a \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } } , b ^ { \prime } = b \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } }$ and $c ^ { \prime } = c \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } }$. a. Show that $b ^ { \prime } = 8$. b. Calculate the modulus and an argument of the number $a ^ { \prime }$.
For the rest we admit that $a ^ { \prime } = - 4 + 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$ and $c ^ { \prime } = - 4 \sqrt { 3 } + 4 \mathrm { i }$.
4. We admit that if $M$ and $N$ are two points in the plane with affixes respectively $m$ and $n$ then the midpoint $I$ of the segment $[ M N ]$ has affix $\frac { m + n } { 2 }$ and the length $M N$ is equal to $| n - m |$. a. We denote $r , s$ and $t$ the affixes of the midpoints respectively $\mathrm { R } , \mathrm { S }$ and T of the segments $\left[ \mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B } \right] , \left[ \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { C } \right]$ and $\left[ \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { A } \right]$. Calculate $r$ and $s$. We admit that $t = 2 - 2 \sqrt { 3 } + \mathrm { i } ( 2 + 2 \sqrt { 3 } )$. b. What conjecture can be made about the nature of triangle RST? Justify this result.
Q3 (speciality) Matrices Matrix Power Computation and Application View
1. We consider the equation (E) to solve in $\mathbb { Z }$ : $$7 x - 5 y = 1$$ a. Verify that the pair (3; 4) is a solution of (E). b. Show that the pair of integers $( x ; y )$ is a solution of (E) if and only if $7 ( x - 3 ) = 5 ( y - 4 )$. c. Show that the integer solutions of the equation (E) are exactly the pairs ( $x ; y$ ) of relative integers such that: $$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } x = 5 k + 3 \\ y = 7 k + 4 \end{array} \text { where } k \in \mathbb { Z } . \right.$$
2. A box contains 25 tokens, some red, some green and some white. Out of the 25 tokens there are $x$ red tokens and $y$ green tokens. Knowing that $7 x - 5 y = 1$, what can be the numbers of red, green and white tokens?
In the rest, we will assume that there are 3 red tokens and 4 green tokens.
3. We consider the following random walk of a pawn on a triangle $A B C$. At each step, we randomly draw one of the tokens from the 25, then put it back in the box.
  • When at A: If the token drawn is red, the pawn goes to B. If the token drawn is green, the pawn goes to C. If the token drawn is white, the pawn stays at A.
  • When at B: If the token drawn is red, the pawn goes to A. If the token drawn is green, the pawn goes to C. If the token drawn is white, the pawn stays at B.
  • When at C: If the token drawn is red, the pawn goes to A. If the token drawn is green, the pawn goes to B. If the token drawn is white, the pawn stays at C.
Initially, the pawn is on vertex A. For any natural integer $n$, we denote $a _ { n } , b _ { n }$ and $c _ { n }$ the probabilities that the pawn is respectively on vertices $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C at step $n$. We denote $X _ { n }$ the row matrix $\left( a _ { n } \quad b _ { n } \quad c _ { n } \right)$ and $T$ the matrix $\left( \begin{array} { l l l } 0,72 & 0,12 & 0,16 \\ 0,12 & 0,72 & 0,16 \\ 0,12 & 0,16 & 0,72 \end{array} \right)$. Give the row matrix $X _ { 0 }$ and show that, for any natural integer $n$, $X _ { n + 1 } = X _ { n } T$.
4. We admit that $T = P D P ^ { - 1 }$ where $P ^ { - 1 } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } \frac { 3 } { 10 } & \frac { 37 } { 110 } & \frac { 4 } { 11 } \\ \frac { 1 } { 10 } & - \frac { 1 } { 10 } & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 1 } { 11 } & - \frac { 1 } { 11 } \end{array} \right)$ and $D = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0,6 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0,56 \end{array} \right)$.
