Probability = 168 21 0.84200 25== 8(c) In general, teenagers in Country X spent less daily screen time with median of 6.5 hours compared to Singapore’s median of 7.5 hours. The amount of daily screen time spent by teenagers in Country X has a larger spread with an IQR of 5.2 hours as compared to that of Singapore with IQR of 3.4 hours. Question Answer 9(a) Arc length = ( ) 142π 2 π 2.513... 2.5 m (1 d.p.)55 = = = 9(b) Volume of air = ( ) 2 π 2.5 0.5 50 60 8.1812... 8.18 (3 s.f.) = = 9(c) For air circulation Minimum airflow requirement 330 20 8 5 960 m / min= = VFR = ( ) 2 π 3 0.6 5.4π 16.9646... = = Total airflow per minute of fans = VFR 70 2 756 π 2375.044... = = Therefore, 2375.044... 960, minimum airflow requirement is met. For comfortable cooling environment VPS = 5.4π 45 60 4.05π = Air velocity = ( ) 2 4.05π π 3 0.45 m/s > 0.3 m/s= Therefore, comfortable cooling environment is met. Hence, the recommendation is suitable.
