Q1 7 marks Discrete Probability Distributions Probability Computation for Compound or Multi-Stage Random Experiments View
Exercise 1 — 7 points
Topics: Probability
In Hugo's shop, customers can rent two types of bicycles: road bikes or mountain bikes. Each type of bicycle can be rented in an electric version or not.
A customer is chosen at random from the shop, and we assume that:
  • If the customer rents a road bike, the probability that it is an electric bike is 0.4;
  • If the customer rents a mountain bike, the probability that it is an electric bike is 0.7;
  • The probability that the customer rents an electric bike is 0.58.
We denote by $\alpha$ the probability that the customer rents a road bike, with $0 \leqslant \alpha \leqslant 1$. We consider the following events:
  • R: ``the customer rents a road bike'';
  • $E$ : ``the customer rents an electric bike'';
  • $\bar { R }$ and $\bar { E }$, complementary events of $R$ and $E$.
We model this random situation using the tree shown below. If $F$ denotes any event, we denote by $p ( F )$ the probability of $F$.
  1. Copy this tree onto your answer sheet and complete it.
  2. a. Show that $p ( E ) = 0.7 - 0.3 \alpha$. b. Deduce that: $\alpha = 0.4$.
  3. We know that the customer rented an electric bike. Determine the probability that they rented a mountain bike. Give the result rounded to the nearest hundredth.
  4. What is the probability that the customer rents an electric mountain bike?
  5. The daily rental price of a non-electric road bike is 25 euros, that of a non-electric mountain bike is 35 euros. For each type of bike, choosing the electric version increases the daily rental price by 15 euros. We denote by $X$ the random variable modeling the daily rental price of a bike. a. Give the probability distribution of $X$. Present the results in the form of a table. b. Calculate the expected value of $X$ and interpret this result.
  6. When 30 of Hugo's customers are chosen at random, we treat this choice as sampling with replacement. We denote by $Y$ the random variable associating to a sample of 30 randomly chosen customers the number of customers who rent an electric bike. We recall that the probability of event $E$ is: $p ( E ) = 0.58$. a. Justify that $Y$ follows a binomial distribution and specify its parameters. b. Determine the probability that a sample contains exactly 20 customers who rent an electric bike. Give the result rounded to the nearest thousandth. c. Determine the probability that a sample contains at least 15 customers who rent an electric bike. Give the result rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Topics: Sequences, Functions This exercise is a multiple choice questionnaire. For each of the following questions, only one of the four proposed answers is correct.

Q3 7 marks Differentiating Transcendental Functions Full function study with transcendental functions View
Exercise 3 — 7 points
Topics: Logarithm function, Sequences
Parts $\mathbf { B }$ and $\mathbf { C }$ are independent
We consider the function $f$ defined on $] 0 ; + \infty [$ by $$f ( x ) = x - x \ln x ,$$ where ln denotes the natural logarithm function.
Part A
  1. Determine the limit of $f ( x )$ as $x$ tends to 0.
  2. Determine the limit of $f ( x )$ as $x$ tends to $+ \infty$.
  3. We admit that the function $f$ is differentiable on $] 0 ; + \infty \left[ \right.$ and we denote by $f ^ { \prime }$ its derivative function. a. Prove that, for every real number $x > 0$, we have: $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = - \ln x$. b. Deduce the variations of the function $f$ on $] 0 ; + \infty [$ and draw its variation table.
  4. Solve the equation $f ( x ) = x$ on $] 0$; $+ \infty [$.

Part B
In this part, you may use with profit certain results from Part A. We consider the sequence $(u _ { n })$ defined by: $$\begin{cases} u _ { 0 } & = 0.5 \\ u _ { n + 1 } & = u _ { n } - u _ { n } \ln u _ { n } \text { for every natural number } n , \end{cases}$$ Thus, for every natural number $n$, we have: $u _ { n + 1 } = f \left( u _ { n } \right)$.
  1. We recall that the function $f$ is increasing on the interval $[ 0.5 ; 1 ]$. Prove by induction that, for every natural number $n$, we have: $0.5 \leqslant u _ { n } \leqslant u _ { n + 1 } \leqslant 1$.
  2. a. Show that the sequence $( u _ { n } )$ is convergent. b. We denote by $\ell$ the limit of the sequence $( u _ { n } )$. Determine the value of $\ell$.

Part C
For any real number $k$, we consider the function $f _ { k }$ defined on $] 0 ; + \infty [$ by: $$f _ { k } ( x ) = k x - x \ln x$$
  1. For every real number $k$, show that $f _ { k }$ admits a maximum $y _ { k }$ attained at $x _ { k } = \mathrm { e } ^ { k - 1 }$.
  2. Verify that, for every real number $k$, we have: $x _ { k } = y _ { k }$.
Q4 7 marks Vectors: Lines & Planes Multi-Step Geometric Modeling Problem View
Exercise 4 — 7 points
Topics: Geometry in space In space with respect to an orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm { O } , \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath } , \vec { k })$, we consider:
  • the line $\mathscr { D }$ passing through the point $\mathrm { A } ( 2 ; 4 ; 0 )$ and whose direction vector is $\vec { u } \left( \begin{array} { l } 1 \\ 2 \\ 0 \end{array} \right)$;
  • the line $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$ whose parametric representation is: $\left\{ \begin{array} { r l } x & = 3 \\ y & = 3 + t \\ z & = 3 + t \end{array} , t \in \mathbb { R } \right.$.
  1. a. Give the coordinates of a direction vector $\overrightarrow { u ^ { \prime } }$ of the line $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$. b. Show that the lines $\mathscr { D }$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$ are not parallel. c. Determine a parametric representation of the line $\mathscr { D }$.
We admit in the rest of this exercise that there exists a unique line $\Delta$ perpendicular to the lines $\mathscr { D }$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$. This line $\Delta$ intersects each of the lines $\mathscr { D }$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$. We will call M the intersection point of $\Delta$ and $\mathscr { D }$, and $\mathrm { M } ^ { \prime }$ the intersection point of $\Delta$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$. We propose to determine the distance $\mathrm { MM } ^ { \prime }$ called the ``distance between the lines $\mathscr { D }$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$''.
    \setcounter{enumi}{1}
  1. Show that the vector $\vec { v } \left( \begin{array} { c } 2 \\ - 1 \\ 1 \end{array} \right)$ is a direction vector of the line $\Delta$.
  2. We denote by $\mathscr { P }$ the plane containing the lines $\mathscr { D }$ and $\Delta$, that is, the plane passing through point A and with direction vectors $\vec { u }$ and $\vec { v }$. a. Show that the vector $\vec { n } \left( \begin{array} { c } 2 \\ - 1 \\ - 5 \end{array} \right)$ is a normal vector to the plane $\mathscr { P }$. b. Deduce that an equation of the plane $\mathscr { P }$ is: $2 x - y - 5 z = 0$. c. We recall that $\mathrm { M } ^ { \prime }$ is the intersection point of the lines $\Delta$ and $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$. Justify that $\mathrm { M } ^ { \prime }$ is also the intersection point of $\mathscr { D } ^ { \prime }$ and the plane $\mathscr { P }$. Deduce that the coordinates of point $\mathrm { M } ^ { \prime }$ are $( 3 ; 1 ; 1 )$.
  3. a. Determine a parametric representation of the line $\Delta$. b. Justify that point M has coordinates $( 1 ; 2 ; 0 )$. c. Calculate the distance $\mathrm { MM } ^ { \prime }$.
  4. We consider the line $d$ with parametric representation $\left\{ \begin{aligned} x & = 5 t \\ y & = 2 + 5 t \\ z & = 1 + t \end{aligned} \right.$ with $t \in \mathbb { R }$. a. Show that the line $d$ is parallel to the plane $\mathscr { P }$. b. We denote by $\ell$ the distance from a point N of the line $d$ to the plane $\mathscr { P }$. Express the volume of the tetrahedron $\mathrm { ANMM } ^ { \prime }$ as a function of $\ell$. We recall that the volume of a tetrahedron is given by: $V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \times B \times h$ where $B$ denotes the area of a base and $h$ the height relative to this base. c. Justify that, if $\mathrm { N } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathrm { N } _ { 2 }$ are any two points of the line $d$, the tetrahedra $A N _ { 1 } M M ^ { \prime }$ and $A N _ { 2 } M M ^ { \prime }$ have the same volume.
