NCEA Level 2 Probability Methods 2022 Exam Walkthrough


Summary

The video explores various probability calculations related to water usage in New Zealand. It discusses the likelihood of specific water usage patterns, factors affecting probabilities during water shortages, and assessing river safety based on data. The video covers estimating mean water usage for businesses, risks associated with different locations, and using survey data to analyze water conservation concerns. It also evaluates the implications of sample representation when generalizing survey findings to the broader population.


Question 1: Probability in Normal Distribution

Solving a probability question involving normal distribution to find the probability of certain water usage in New Zealand.

Question 2a: Probability for Two New Zealanders

Calculating the probability for two New Zealanders chosen at random to use a specific amount of water per day.

Question 2b: Adjusting Probability for Water Shortage

Explaining how the probability would change if the water shortage affects the chosen individuals.

Question 2c: Analyzing Shower Data Distribution

Discussing the characteristics of shower time data and comparing them to a normal distribution model.

Question 2d: Determining Longest Acceptable Shower Time

Calculating the longest shower time considered acceptable by Suzanne based on the survey data.

Question 2e: Business Water Usage Analysis

Estimating the mean water usage for businesses based on given data and normal distribution.

Question 2f: Addressing Outliers in Business Water Usage

Discussing the implications of a small percentage of businesses using excessive water and its impact on the analysis.

Question 3: Probability of River Safety

Calculating the probabilities related to river safety based on survey data and land types.

Question 4: Estimating Unsafe Rivers Percentage

Estimating the percentage of unsafe rivers in New Zealand based on given data and survey proportions.

Question 5: Evaluating Probability Confidence

Assessing the confidence level in the calculated probability for all New Zealand rivers based on survey data.
