ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics HL / Year 5 / 2020 Final Examination / Paper 2 2 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working. Section A Answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided. Working may be continued below the lines, if necessary. 1. [Maximum mark: 4] Solve the simultaneous equations 3 24 8 log log 3 xy xy = +=

ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics HL / Year 5 / 2020 Final Examination / Paper 2 4 3. *[Maximum mark: 9] It is speculated that there is an association between the height of a student, x centimetres and the time taken, y seconds, to do a 100 m sprint. The following paired data are collected.. (a) Find the Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient between the height and the time taken. Comment on your answer. [3] (b) Find the equation of the regression line of y on x , where x is the height of the students and y is the time taken to do a 100 m sprint. [2] (c) (i) Find the expected time taken if the height of the student is 168 cm. [1] (ii) Find the expected height of the student if he takes 11.8s to run 100m.

Find the number of ways this can be done if (a) a particular man and woman have to stand next to each other. [2] (b) no two men are to stand next to each other [3]
ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics HL / Year 5 / 2020 Final Examination / Paper 2 6 5. [Maximum mark: 5] During recess, Ryan will eat either chicken rice or chicken noodles but not both. If he eats chicken rice, the probability of him feeling full is 0.6, while if he eats chicken noodles, the probability of him feeling full is 0.7. The probability that Ryan feels full on any given day is 0.64. (a) Find the probability that Ryan eats chicken rice. [3] (b) Find the probability that Ryan eats chicken rice given that does not feel full. [2]
ACS (Independent) / Mathematics Department / Mathematics HL / Year 5 / 2020 Final Examination / Paper 2 7 6. [Maximum mark: 7] The probability that an archer hits the bullseye is 0.68. For a training set, the archer will shoot six arrows at the target. On a training day, the archer will go through eight training sets. (a) Find the probability that the archer will hit the target more than thrice in a training set.[2] (b) Find the expected number of training sets in a day where the archer will hit the target more than thrice in the set. [3] (c) The archer now decides to shoot n arrows in a training set. Find the minimum value of n such that the probability of hitting the target in a training set more than thrice is more than 0.90. [2] .
