Section A[45 marks]

Answer all questions in this section

1 For a project, a student asked 40 people to draw two straight lines with what they thought was an angle of 75° between them, using just a ruler and a pencil. She then measured the size of the angles that had been drawn and her data are summarised in this stem and leaf diagram

(a) Find the median and quartiles of the data. [3 marks](b) Draw a box plot representing these data on a graph paper. [3 marks](c) Describe this distribution. [1 mark]

2 In a large restaurant, an average of 3 out of every 5 customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected.(a) Find the probability that

(i) Exactly 6 ask for water with their meal, [2 marks](ii) Less than 9 ask for water with their meal. [3 marks]

A second random sample of 50 customers is selected(b) Find the smallest value of n such that

3 For a geography project a student studied weather records kept by her school since 1993. To see if there was any evidence of global warming she worked out the mean temperature in degrees Celsius at noon for the month of June in each year.Her results are shown in the table below.

Year 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000Mean

Temperature (oC)

21.9 24.1 20.7 23.0 24.2 22.1 22.6 23.9

(a) Plot a scatter diagram showing these data. [2 marks]The student wanted to investigate further whether or not her data provided evidence of an increase in temperature in June each year. Using Y for the number of years since 1993 and T for the mean temperature, (b) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient for these data. [4 marks](c) Comment on your result in relation to the student’s enquiry. [1 mark]

4 A group of office workers were questioned for a health assurance policy. were found to take regular

exercise. When questioned about their eating habits said they always eat breakfast and, of those who

always eat breakfast also take regular exercise.

Find the probability that a randomly selected worker(a) always eats breakfast and take regular exercise. [3 marks](b) does not always eats breakfast and does not always take regular exercise. [3 marks]Determine, giving your reason, whether or not always eating breakfast and taking regular exercise are statistically independent. [2 marks]

5 The wage rates paid and number of employees in each of three categories are shown below for the years 1983 and 1988.

1983 1988

Categories Wage Rate (RM)Number of employees

Wage Rate (RMNumber of employees

A 3.80 150 4.40 200B 3.50 250 3.90 300C 3.00 500 3.30 400

Calculate both base and current weighted index numbers with 1983 as base to show the change in wage rates. Explain why the results differ. [7 marks]

6 The data below showed the number of unemployed population of a certain country for the year 1988, 1989 and 1990.

If the seasonal factors based on the additive models are as follows:

Quarter1 2 3 4

+4 -3 -3 +2

(a) Write the seasonally adjusted number for this data. [3 marks](b) Write the equation for the trend line and forecast the number of unemployed population for the first

quarter of the year 1991. [5 marks]

Section B(15 marks)

Answer any one question in this section

7 Happyholidays is a travel company which organizes package holidays that are sold through a number of travel agents. It decides to offer the travel agents a bonus if they can increase the number of holidays sold by 10% or more.The number of Happyholidays holidays sold by Ajay, a travel agent is shown in the table below.

2007 2008 2009Jan-Apr May-Aug Sept-Dec Jan-Apr May-Aug Sept-Dec Jan-Apr May-Aug Sept-Dec

145 98 121 123 85 101 118 76 74

(a) Calculate values of a suitable moving average. [3 marks](b) Plot the moving average on the given graph and the determine the appropriate model for this data.

[2 marks](c) Estimate the seasonal effects on this data and obtain the equation for the trend line. [8 marks](d) Hence calculate how many holidays Ajay needs to sell during January-April 2010 to exceed the

current trends by at least 10%. [2 marks]
