SEC 2013 Sample Paper 2
1. (a) Area = Length × Width
= 8 m × 4 m
= 32 m2
(b) Total length needed
= 5(semicircles) + length
= 5(3.14 × 2) + 8
= 31.4 + 8
= 39.4 metres
(c) Length: = 12.5 m Width: 6.78 m
since since
8 + 2 + 2 + 2(0.25) 2πr ____
2 + 2(0.25)
length + diameter of circle + 2 buried pieces (3.14)(2) + 0.5
Area = length × width
= 12.5 × 6.78
= 84.75 m2
(d) Volume = Cylinder ÷ 2
= πr2h
____

2
= 50.24 m3
(e) Area of bed = (8 – 0.4) × (4 – 0.4)
= 7.6 × 3.6
= 27.36 m2
Volume of soil = 27.36 × 0.25 = 6.84 m3
Cost of topsoil = 6.84 × 0.75 × €80
= €410.40

2. (a) 600 – (92 + 101 + 115 + 98 + 105)
= 89
(b) Based on the above results, I disagree. Each number should have a 1 __
6 or 16.7% chance of
occurring. Currently, 5 has a 14.8% chance of occurring, whereas 3 has a 19.2% chance
of occurring.
(c) Answer: 152
Reason: The probability of getting an even number from six hundred throws is
101 + 98 + 105

(d) (1) He is using a much smaller sample.
(2) His sample consists of First Year boys only and ignores other years and the opinions of girls.
(3) His survey is being conducted after the mid-term break, when students would have had more free time and probably spent many more hours on social networking sites.

(b) Example answer: If I had to choose, I would buy Brand C. In Brand C, the mean number
of sweets is 276
____
10 = 27.6 sweets, compared with a mean of 24.5 sweets for Brand B
and 29.1 for Brand A. The reason I didn’t pick Brand A, even though it has a greater
mean, is because Brand C has a range of 6 (31 – 25) unlike Brand A (35 – 23) and Brand B (29 – 17), which both have a range of 12, double that of Brand C.
This means there is a greater difference in the number of sweets between the biggest and smallest packages.
When buying sweets, I’d expect a consistent number of sweets in any brand package I buy.
⇒ 1 choose Brand C.
7. (a) 93.725
______
360 × 3165 = 824 schools
Angle
______
360° × Total no. of schools
(b) Example answer: I disagree, as the fi rst pie chart represents 3,165 primary schools, but the second chart only represents 729 post-primary schools.
Both angles are approximately 45°.
Primary: 45
____
360 × 3,165 = 396 schools
Post-primary: 45
____
360 × 729 = 91 schools

8. (a) Answer: No
Reason: No two lengths are equal in measure; hence, an isosceles triangle with two sides of equal measure cannot be constructed.
(b) In a parallelogram, opposite sides are of equal length, but no two strips are of equal measure. Hence, they cannot be used to form a parallelogram.
(c) Use Pythagoras’ theorem:
Is (25)2 = (24)2 + (7)2 ?
625 = 576 + 49
625 = 625
⇒ It is a right-angled triangle.
(d) (Missing side)2 = (20)2 + (24)2
(Missing side)2 = 400 + 576
Missing side = √ ____

200 _________
120 + |DE|
80(120 + |DE|) = 200(120)
9600 + 80|DE| = 24,000
80|DE| = 24,000 − 9,600 = 14,400
|DE| = 180 m
10. (a) ΔADB is similar to ΔAPC:
|∠BAP| = |∠PAC| told.
|∠ABD| = |∠APC| ... (x + y)
|∠ADB| = |∠ACP| ... (180 − 2x − y)

(b) Multiple possible answers. Examples:
A stem-and-leaf plot clearly displays all the raw data, whereas a line plot or bar chart would be too cluttered, as the range in data is too large.
(c) Given that the speed limit is 50 km/hr, more than half of all drivers break this limit. Also, from the graph we can see that:
• The modal speed is 56 km/ hr.
• The median speed is 51.5 km/hr.
• The range in speeds is 51 km (between 25 and 76 km/hr).

10. Multiple possible answers:
(a) Similarity: Both played 12 games. Both scored more than 130 runs but less than 200 runs per match.
Difference: The Mayo team scored between 133 and 159 runs in most of their games, whereas the Galway team’s scores were more dispersed, as they achieved higher scores of 175 to 190 runs more frequently than Mayo.
(b) Mayo range = 183 − 133 = 50
Galway range = 190 − 131 = 59
Galway have a greater range between their best and worst game.
(c) Mayo modal runs = 152
Galway modal runs = 175
Galway’s frequent score (175 runs) is higher than Mayo’s frequent score (152 runs).
(d) Mayo median = 149.5
Galway median = 158
Galway have a greater median (or middle value).
(e) Mayo interquartile range = 159.5 − 139.5
= 20
5
Galway interquartile range = 177.5 − 145.5
= 32
Galway have a greater interquartile range in their scores.
In conclusion, Patrick is incorrect.
11. The youngest child is 8, so that is the fi rst digit in the sequence.
The middle number (or 3rd number) must be 13, the median.
The range is 17, so the largest number is 8 + 17 = 25.
Another age to: include is 15.
Since the mean is 14, the sum of all fi ve children’s ages amounts to 70. Hence, the missing child’s age is: 70 − 25 − 8 − 13 − 15 = 9
