Q5 5 marks Linear regression View
A company collected data on the number of customers $x$ (in units of 100 people) and sales revenue $y$ (in units of 10,000 yuan) from 8 branches last week, obtaining 8 data points $(x, y)$ as follows: $(3,3), (3,5), (3,2), (4,4), (5,8), (6,7), (8,12), (8,7)$.

Q9 8 marks Discrete Probability Distributions Expectation and Variance from Context-Based Random Variables View
There is a card-drawing prize activity with the following rules: In an opaque box, there are 2 cards marked with ``1000 yuan'' and 3 cards marked with ``0 yuan''. A participant randomly draws one card from the box. Without knowing the amount marked on the drawn card, the host then places a card marked with ``500 yuan'' into the box. At this point, the participant has two choices: (I) Keep the originally drawn card; the amount marked on that card is the prize won. (II) Discard the originally drawn card without returning it, and randomly draw another card from the box; the amount marked on that card is the prize won.
A participant joins this activity. Assume each card has an equal chance of being drawn. Select the correct options.
(1) If the participant chooses (I), the probability of winning 0 yuan is $\frac { 3 } { 5 }$

Q11 6 marks Permutations & Arrangements Distribution of Objects into Bins/Groups View
A washing machine cycle must select one from 5 different fabric types (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), paired with one of 4 different modes (A, B, C, D), and there are 3 additional functions (A, B, C) that can be freely chosen to enable or disable. However, ``fabric type 1'' cannot be used simultaneously with additional function ``A''. For example, ``fabric type 2'' paired with ``mode A'', with both ``A'' and ``B'' additional functions enabled is a valid cycle; but ``fabric type 1'' paired with ``mode A'', with both ``A'' and ``B'' additional functions enabled is not a valid cycle. Based on the above, this washing machine has how many valid cycles?
