The median mass of the students was 63.5 kg. The interquartile range of the masses of the students was 4.5 kg. Mr Gan realised that the scale of the weighing machine was inaccurate. The correct mass of each student was 1.5 kg less than what he had recorded. Write down the correct values for the median mass and interquartile range. Answer Median mass: ………………………….kg…. Interquartile range: …………………………kg [2]

6 4 At supermarket A, a bag of flour costs $2.90, a tray of eggs costs $4.40 and a sack of rice costs $24. The same items can be bought in supermarket B where the flour costs $3.20, eggs cost $x and rice costs $25. This information can be represented by the matrix C = 2.9 4.4 24 3.2 25x (a) Ron buys 3 bags of flour, 4 trays of eggs and 2 sacks of rice. Zoe buys 5 bags of rice, 3 trays of eggs and 3 sacks of rice. Represent this information in a 32 matrix D. Answer D = [1] (b) Find, in terms of x, the matrix T = CD. Answer T = [2] (c) Explain what the elements in the first row of matrix T represent. Answer ………………………………………………………………………………… ….………………………………………………………………………………………. ….……………………………………………………………………………………[1] F E R A B
7 [Turn over (d) Ron would save $1.30 by buying his purchases from supermarket A. Find the value of x. Answer x = …………………………… [2] (e) On a particular week, supermarket A was offering a store-wide 20% discount promotion while supermarket B was offering a store-wide 10% discount promotion. (i) Write down a matrix P, such that the product of P and T would give the discounted prices which Ron and Zoe each has to pay if they purchase the items from supermarkets A and B respectively. Answer P = [1] (ii) Hence, using the value of x found in (d), find the product of the matrices P and T. Answer [1]
8 5 The speeds of 160 cars passing through a checkpoint one morning were recorded. The cumulative frequency curve below shows the speed, x km/h, and the number of cars with speed less than or equals to x km/h. (a) Use the curve to estimate (i) the median speed, Answer ……………………………… km/h [1] (ii) the interquartile range of the speeds, Answer ……………………………… km/h [2] (iii) the 30th percentile. Answer ……………………………… km/h [1] 160 120 80 40 0 Cumulative frequency 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Speed (x km/h)
9 [Turn over (b) Explain why it is not possible to state the number of cars with speed less than 45 km/h. Answer ………………………………………………………………………………… ….……………………………………………………………………………………[1] (c) The speed limit on the road is v km/h. Given that 1 40 of the vehicles exceeded the speed limit, find the value of v. Answer v = …………………………… [1] (d) The speeds of 160 cars passing through the same checkpoint in the evening were also recorded. The box-and-whisker plot below shows the distribution of the speeds. Make two comments comparing the speed of the cars in the morning and in the evening. Answer ………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………….. ….……………………………………………………………………………………[2] 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Speed (km/h)
10 (e) (i) Complete the grouped frequency table for the speeds of the cars passing through the checkpoint in the morning. Speed (x km/h) Frequency 30 35x 28 35 40x 36 40 45x 45 50x 50 55x 55 60x 4 [1] Calculate an estimate of the (ii) mean speed, Answer ………………………………km/h [1] (iii) standard deviation. Answer ………………………………km/h [1] (f) Explain why the mean speed of the cars is only an estimate. Answer ………………………………………………………………………………… ….……………………………………………………………………………………[1] --- End of paper---
