Specimen Paper 9740/2017/P2/Q6 (modified) (ii) Which of the formulae 2m ed f=+ and 3m gd h=+ , where e, f, g, h are constants, is the better model for the relationship between m and d? Explain fully how you decided, and find the constants for the better formula. [4] (iii) Use the formula you chose from part (ii) to estimate the mass of a giant pumpkin with over the top length 6m. Comment on the reliability of your estimate. [2]

RVHS 2023 JC2 H2 Maths Lecture Test 4 4 2 Solution [13] i The Production Manager should use a 2-tail test because he is looking for a change in either direction (whether the average time taken by the alternative process is greater than or less than that with the original process). ii This is because the sample size is large and thus by Central Limit Theorem can be applied to have the sample mean time T to follow a normal distribution for the
