2 9758/02/J2PRELIM/2023 Section A: Pure Mathematics [40 marks] 1 Without using a calculator, solve the inequality 2 2 25 22 xx xx +− − . [4] Hence, solve the inequality 2 2 25 22 xx xx +− − . [3] 2 It is given that e sin 1xy x x −= + − . (a) Show that 2 2 d e cosd xy kxx −= , where k is a constant to be determined. [2] (b) By further differentiation of this result, find the Maclaurin series for y , up to and including the term in 3x . [3] (c) By using the result in part (b) and standard series from the List of Formulae (MF26), find the expansion of e sin 1 cos 2 x xx x − +− in ascending powers of x , up to and including the term in 3x , giving the coefficients in exact form. [3] 3 Following the popularity of the action role -playing game, Ginseng Im pact, three years ago, developers have developed a strategy game, Ginseng Impactful. The number of people who download Ginseng Impactful, P (in thousands), in a particular city, at time t months, can be modelled by the differential equation ( )d1 13 2d 26 P PPt =− . There were 2000 people who download Ginseng Impactful when it is launched. (a) Show that 1 2 26 9e 4 t P − = + . [6] (b) Determine, the time taken, in months, for the number of people who download Ginseng Impactful to double since the launch. [2] (c) Find the number of people that download Ginseng Impactful in the long run. [2] (d) Hence sketch the graph showing the number of people that download Ginseng Impactful against time. [2]

[2] (b) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection between 1Π and l . [3] (c) Find the perpendicular distance from ( )10, 4,7B − to 1Π . [3] The plane 2Π contains l and is perpendicular to 1Π . (d) Find a cartesian equation of 2Π . [3] (e) Without using a calculator, find a vector equation of the line which lies in both 1Π and 2Π . [2] Section B: Probability and Statistics [60 marks] 5 During the Great Singapore Sale, a certain electronics store organises a lucky draw to attract more customers. The lucky draw is designed as follows: A circular board is divided into four sectors labelled with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and ha s angles 144°, 108°, 72 °, 36° respectively. The board has a spinner pivoted at the centre of the circular board. When a customer spins the spinner, the spinner comes to rest randomly in one of the four sectors. Every customer who visits the store is allowed to play one round of th e lucky draw. In each round of the lucky draw, the customer gets to spin the spinner twice. The score, X , of the customer is • the sum of the two numbers if the numbers from the two spins are different, • three times the number if the numbers from the two spins are the same. A customer wins a prize if the score, X , is more than 6. (a) Show that ( )P 6 0.15X == . [2] (b) Find the probability distribution of X . [3] (c) Find the probability that a customer scores less than 10, given that the customer wins a prize. [3]
4 9758/02/J2PRELIM/2023 6 The sales manager of a company that sells air condition ing systems presented the data of average daily temperature, t (°C) and sales, s (in hundred units) at a meeting. Average daily temperature, t (°C) 18 20 23 26 30 32 33 34 Sales, s (in hundred units) 307 366 497 523 565 580 588 596 (a) Draw a scatter diagram of these data and calculate the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between s and t . Comment on whether a linear model would be appropriate, referring both to the scatter diagram and the value of the product moment correlation coefficient found. [3] The marketing director proposes that the data should be modelled instead by the regression equation lns a t b=+ , where a and b are constants. (b) Find the values of a and b , giving your answers to 3 decimal places. [1] (c) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient between s and lnt . [1] (d) Using parts (a) and (c), explain which is a better model. [1] (e) Use the model proposed by the marketing director to estimate the number of units sold when the average daily temperature is 38°C and comment on its reliability. [2] 7 In a class of 18 students, there are 12 girls and 6 boys. A chairperson, a vice -chairperson and a secretary are chosen from the 18 students. (a) Find the number of ways the chairperson, the vice-chairperson and the secretary can be chosen so that (i) they are all girls, [1] (ii) there are at least one girl and at least one boy. [3] The 18 students sit at random in a circle for a lesson. Find the probability that (b) the chairperson, the vice-chairperson and the secretary are all separated from one another, [3] (c) there are exactly 2 girls sitting between each boy. [3]
5 9758/02/J2PRELIM/2023 [Turn Over 8 The store manager at CJStore keeps a bin of large number of oranges. It is known that, on average, p % of the oranges are rotten. The oranges are packed into packets of 10 oranges each. The number of rotten oranges in each packet is denoted by the random variable X . (a) State, in context, two assumptions needed for X to be well modelled by a binomial distribution. [2] Assume now that X follows a binomial distribution. (b) It is given that 20p= . (i) Find the probability that there are at least two rotten oranges in a randomly chosen packet. [2] (ii) 100 packets of oranges are sold at a profit of $2 per packet. The store offers a discount of $ d for any packet of oranges that contains more than 1 rotten orange. By finding the expected number of packets of oranges that contains more than 1 rotten orange, find the range of values of d , correct to 2 decimal places, if the store manager is expecting a net profit. [3] (c) The store manager wants to ensure that 95% of the packets of oranges contain at most one rotten orange. Write down an equation satisfied by p . Hence find the value of p .
