Q5 5 marks Conditional Probability Bayes' Theorem with Diagnostic/Screening Test View
It is known that 30\% of the population in a certain region is infected with a certain infectious disease. For a rapid screening test of the disease, there are two results: positive or negative. The test has an 80\% probability of identifying an infected person as positive and a 60\% probability of identifying an uninfected person as negative. To reduce the situation where the test incorrectly identifies an infected person as negative, experts recommend three consecutive tests. If $P$ is the probability that an infected person is among those who test negative in a single test, and $P'$ is the probability that an infected person is among those who test negative in all three consecutive tests, what is $\frac { P } { P' }$ closest to?

A certain online game offers a ``ten-draw'' card-pulling mechanism. ``Ten-draw'' means the system automatically performs ten card-pulling actions. If each ``ten-draw'' requires 1500 tokens, the probability of drawing a gold card is 2\% for the first nine draws and 10\% for the tenth draw. A certain student has 23000 tokens and continuously uses ``ten-draw'' until unable to draw anymore. The expected value of the number of gold cards drawn is (13-1)(13-2) cards.

Q15 5 marks Sine and Cosine Rules Compute area of a triangle or related figure View
As shown in the figure, the Wang family owns a triangular piece of land $\triangle A B C$ , where $\overline { B C } = 16$ meters. The government plans to requisition the trapezoid $D B C E$ portion to develop a road with straight lines $D E , B C$ as edges, with road width $h$ meters, leaving the Wang family with only $\frac { 9 } { 16 }$ of the original land area. After negotiation, the plan is changed to develop a road with parallel lines $B E , F C$ as edges, with the same road width, where $\angle E B C = 30 ^ { \circ }$ . Only the $\triangle B C E$ region needs to be requisitioned. According to this agreement, the Wang family's remaining land $\triangle A B E$ has (15-1)(15-2)(15-3) square meters.
