Question 7

Aisha practises archery. She assumes that each arrow is independent and knows from past experience that the probability of hitting the centre of the target is 0.25.

a.

Aisha shoots 8 arrows. Calculate the probability that at least 3 of the arrows will hit the centre of the target.

[2]
b.

Aisha believes she has improved and the chance of hitting the centre of the target is greater than 0.25. She shoots 16 arrows and 7 hit the centre of the target. Stating your hypotheses clearly test, at the 5% level of significance, whether or not there is evidence to support Aisha's belief.
