Version 2

Section A: Pure Mathematics

Question 1 (a) $10 = 4e^{2x} - 3 \Rightarrow 13 = 4e^{2x} \Rightarrow e^{2x} = 3.25 \Rightarrow 2x = \ln(3.25) \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}\ln(3.25)$ . [3] (b) Vertical asymptote at $x=2$ . X-intercept: $0 = \ln(x-2) \Rightarrow x-2 = 1 \Rightarrow x=3$ . Curve increases from $x=2$ to $\infty$ . [3]

Question 2 (a) $\Delta < 0 \Rightarrow (k+2)^2 - 4(1)(9) < 0 \Rightarrow (k+2)^2 < 36 \Rightarrow -6 < k+2 < 6 \Rightarrow -8 < k < 4$ . [3] (b) $(2x+1)(x-3) < 0$ . Critical values $x = -0.5, 3$ . Range: $-0.5 < x < 3$ . [3]

Question 3 (a) Use quotient rule: $u = 3x+1, v = (2x-5)^{1/2}$ . $u' = 3, v' = (2x-5)^{-1/2}$ . $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3(2x-5)^{1/2} - (3x+1)(2x-5)^{-1/2}}{2x-5} = \frac{3(2x-5) - (3x+1)}{(2x-5)^{3/2}} = \frac{3x-16}{(2x-5)^{3/2}}$ . [4] (b) $y' = 3e^{3x} + \frac{2}{x}$ . At $x=1, m = 3e^3 + 2$ . $y(1) = e^3 + 2\ln(1) = e^3$ . $y - e^3 = (3e^3 + 2)(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = (3e^3 + 2)x - 2e^3 - 2$ . [4]

Question 4 (a) $y' = 2xe^{-x} - x^2e^{-x} = xe^{-x}(2-x)$ . Set $y'=0 \Rightarrow x=0, x=2$ . Points: $(0, 0)$ and $(2, 4e^{-2})$ . [4] (b) $y'' = (2-2x)e^{-x} - (2x-x^2)e^{-x} = (x^2-4x+2)e^{-x}$ . At $x=0, y''=2 > 0$ (Min). At $x=2, y'' = (4-8+2)e^{-2} = -2e^{-2} < 0$ (Max). [3]

Question 5 (a) $[x^4 - 2\ln x]_1^2 = (16 - 2\ln 2) - (1 - 0) = 15 - 2\ln 2 \approx 13.6$ . [4] (b) $\int_0^1 e^{2x} dx = [\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}]_0^1 = \frac{1}{2}(e^2 - 1) \approx 3.19$ units². [3]

Section B: Probability & Statistics

Question 6 (a) $\bar{x} = \frac{120+150+110+180+140+130}{6} = \frac{830}{6} \approx 138.3$ L. [2] (b) $s^2 = \frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1} = \frac{(120-138.3)^2 + \dots + (130-138.3)^2}{5} \approx \frac{333.3 + 136.9 + 800.9 + 1738.9 + 13.7 + 68.9}{5} \approx \frac{3332.6}{5} \approx 666.5$ . [3]

Question 7 (a) $X \sim B(15, 0.35)$ . [1] (b) $P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.352 = 0.648$ . [3] (c) $P(X > 7) = 1 - P(X \leq 7) = 1 - 0.887 = 0.113$ . [3]

Question 8 (a) $P(X < 140) = 0.15 \Rightarrow z = -1.036 \Rightarrow 140 = \mu - 1.036\sigma$ . $P(X > 180) = 0.10 \Rightarrow z = 1.282 \Rightarrow 180 = \mu + 1.282\sigma$ . Subtracting: $40 = 2.318\sigma \Rightarrow \sigma \approx 17.25$ . $\mu = 140 + 1.036(17.25) \approx 157.9$ . [5] (b) $P(150 < X < 170) = P(\frac{150-157.9}{17.25} < Z < \frac{170-157.9}{17.25}) = P(-0.458 < Z < 0.702) = 0.7587 - 0.3231 = 0.436$ . [3]

Question 9 (a) $P(X > 1350) = P(Z > \frac{1350-1200}{100}) = P(Z > 1.5) = 1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668$ . [3] (b) $\bar{X} \sim N(1200, \frac{100^2}{40}) = N(1200, 250)$ . $\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81$ . $P(\bar{X} < 1180) = P(Z < \frac{1180-1200}{15.81}) = P(Z < -1.265) \approx 0.103$ . [4]

Question 10 (a) $H_0: \mu = 50, H_1: \mu > 50$ . [2] (b) $z = \frac{56-50}{12/\sqrt{36}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3.0$ . [3] (c) Critical value for 5% (one-tail) is $z = 1.645$ . Since $3.0 > 1.645$ , reject $H_0$ . [3] (d) There is sufficient evidence at the 5% level to suggest that the average spending of teenagers on gaming is significantly higher than $\$ 50$. [2]

Question 11 (a) $\bar{x} = 6, \bar{y} = 68.4$ . $m = \frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})(y-\bar{y})}{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2} = \frac{(-4)(-23.4) + (-2)(-8.4) + (0)(6.6) + (2)(13.6) + (4)(21.6)}{16+4+0+4+16} = \frac{93.6 + 16.8 + 0 + 27.2 + 86.4}{40} = \frac{224}{40} = 5.6$ . $c = 68.4 - 5.6(6) = 68.4 - 33.6 = 34.8$ . Equation: $y = 5.6x + 34.8$ . [4] (b) $r = \frac{224}{\sqrt{40 \times \sum (y-\bar{y})^2}} = \frac{224}{\sqrt{40 \times 1551.2}} = \frac{224}{249.1} \approx 0.899$ . [3] (c) Strong positive linear correlation. [2] (d) $y = 5.6(7) + 34.8 = 39.2 + 34.8 = 74$ . This is interpolation since $7 \in [2, 10]$ . [3]

Question 12 (a) Tree: Root $\rightarrow$ Bag A (0.5), Bag B (0.5). Bag A $\rightarrow$ Red (0.3), Blue (0.7). Bag B $\rightarrow$ Red (0.6), Blue (0.4). [3] (b) $P(R) = (0.5 \times 0.3) + (0.5 \times 0.6) = 0.15 + 0.30 = 0.45$ . [3] (c) $P(B|R) = \frac{P(B \cap R)}{P(R)} = \frac{0.30}{0.45} = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667$ . [4]
