Answer Key - A-Level Maths H2 Quiz: Numbers Ratio Proportion

Section A

$0.0432 = \frac{432}{10000} = \frac{108}{2500} = \frac{27}{625}$ . (1 mark)
$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6, \frac{5}{8} = 0.625, \frac{7}{12} \approx 0.583$ . Order: $\frac{7}{12}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{5}{8}$ . (2 marks)
Ratio $3:5:7$ . Largest part $7x = 42 \implies x = 6$ . Total $Q = (3+5+7) \times 6 = 15 \times 6 = 90$ . (2 marks)
$\frac{0.0064}{0.02} = 0.32$ . As percentage: $32\%$ . (2 marks)
$x = 1.15y$ and $y = 0.8z$ . Therefore $x = 1.15(0.8z) = 0.92z$ . Ratio $x:z = 0.92 : 1 = 92:100 = 23:25$ . (2 marks)

Section B

$a+3d = 11$ and $a+8d = 26$ . Subtracting: $5d = 15 \implies d = 3$ . $a + 3(3) = 11 \implies a = 2$ . (3 marks)
$a=3, d=4, n=20$ . $S_{20} = \frac{20}{2}[2(3) + 19(4)] = 10[6 + 76] = 820$ . (2 marks)
$S_\infty = \frac{12}{1 - 1/3} = \frac{12}{2/3} = 18$ . (2 marks)
Common ratio $r = \frac{2k+2}{k} = \frac{8k+4}{2k+2}$ . $(2k+2)^2 = k(8k+4) \implies 4k^2 + 8k + 4 = 8k^2 + 4k \implies 4k^2 - 4k - 4 = 0 \implies k^2 - k - 1 = 0$ . $k = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$ . (3 marks)
$S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r} = 15 \implies a = 15(1-r)$ . Second term $ar = 2.4 \implies 15(1-r)r = 2.4 \implies 15r - 15r^2 = 2.4 \implies 15r^2 - 15r + 2.4 = 0$ . Divide by 3: $5r^2 - 5r + 0.8 = 0$ . $r = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 16}}{10} = \frac{5 \pm 3}{10} \implies r = 0.8$ or $r = 0.2$ . If $r=0.8, a = 15(0.2) = 3$ . If $r=0.2, a = 15(0.8) = 12$ . (4 marks)
$S_{10} = 5(2a + 9d) = 155 \implies 2a + 9d = 31$ . $S_{20} = 10(2a + 19d) = 610 \implies 2a + 19d = 61$ . Subtracting: $10d = 30 \implies d = 3$ . $2a + 27 = 31 \implies 2a = 4 \implies a = 2$ . (4 marks)
$20 = \frac{5}{1-r} \implies 1-r = \frac{1}{4} \implies r = 0.75$ . (2 marks)
$x = a/r, y = a, z = ar$ . $a(1/r + 1 + r) = 21$ and $a^2(1/r^2 + 1 + r^2) = 189$ . $(1/r + 1 + r)^2 = 1/r^2 + 1 + r^2 + 2(1 + r + 1/r)$ . $(21/a)^2 = 189/a^2 + 2(21/a) \implies 441/a^2 = 189/a^2 + 42/a$ . $252/a^2 = 42/a \implies a = 6$ . $6(1/r + 1 + r) = 21 \implies 1/r + r = 2.5 \implies r^2 - 2.5r + 1 = 0 \implies (r-2)(r-0.5) = 0$ . Numbers are $3, 6, 12$ (or $12, 6, 3$ ). (4 marks)
$u_{n+1} + 2 = 3(u_n + 2)$ . Let $v_n = u_n + 2$ . $v_1 = 2+2 = 4$ . $v_n$ is a GP with $a=4, r=3$ . $v_n = 4(3^{n-1}) \implies u_n = 4(3^{n-1}) - 2$ . (4 marks)
$S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r}$ . 5th term of AP $= a + 4d$ . $\frac{a}{1-r} = a + 4d \implies 4d = \frac{a}{1-r} - a = \frac{a - a(1-r)}{1-r} = \frac{ar}{1-r}$ . $d = \frac{ar}{4(1-r)}$ . (3 marks)

Section C

$Y = k/X^2 \implies 10 = k/4 \implies k = 40$ . When $X=5, Y = 40/25 = 1.6$ . (3 marks)
$\bar{x} = 3, \bar{y} = 5.4$ . $S_{xx} = (1-3)^2 + (2-3)^2 + (3-3)^2 + (4-3)^2 + (5-3)^2 = 4+1+0+1+4 = 10$ . $S_{yy} = (2-5.4)^2 + (4-5.4)^2 + (5-5.4)^2 + (8-5.4)^2 + (10-5.4)^2 = 11.56 + 1.96 + 0.16 + 6.76 + 21.16 = 41.6$ . $S_{xy} = (-2)(-3.4) + (-1)(-1.4) + (0)(-0.4) + (1)(2.6) + (2)(4.6) = 6.8 + 1.4 + 0 + 2.6 + 9.2 = 20$ . $r = \frac{20}{\sqrt{10 \times 41.6}} = \frac{20}{20.396} \approx 0.980$ . (4 marks)
$\bar{x} = 5, \bar{y} = 12$ . $S_{xx} = \sum x^2 - n\bar{x}^2 = 600 - 10(25) = 350$ . $S_{yy} = \sum y^2 - n\bar{y}^2 = 3500 - 10(144) = 2060$ . $S_{xy} = \sum xy - n\bar{x}\bar{y} = 1400 - 10(5)(12) = 1400 - 600 = 800$ . $r = \frac{800}{\sqrt{350 \times 2060}} = \frac{800}{849.0} \approx 0.943$ . (4 marks)
Strong positive linear correlation. (2 marks)
$P = k\sqrt{I} \implies 120 = k\sqrt{400} \implies 120 = 20k \implies k = 6$ . $210 = 6\sqrt{I} \implies \sqrt{I} = 35 \implies I = 1225$ . Investment = $\$ 1225$. (4 marks)
