When 1n , LHS cos 3sin sin22RHS 2sin 2 1 3 1 32cos sin2 2 2 2 2 2 2sin 2 2cos sin 2 cos LHS 2sin 2 Hence 1P is true. Assume Pk is true for some k , i.e. 1 1sin sin 22cos 2sin 2 k r k r . To prove 1Pk is true, i.e. 1 1 3sin sin 22cos 2sin 2 k r k r .

Since 1P is true, and Pk is true implies 1Pk is true, by Mathematical induction, Pn is true for all n 2(i) [6] d ,0d x kx kt 1 ddx k tx ln , 0x kt c x e ktxA When 0t , 80x , thus 80A .

Since n = 60 is large, by Central Limit Theorem, 245N(159, ) approximately60X P( 150) 0.0607 (3s.f)X Assume that the rainfall in each month is independent and identically distributed. 6 [4] Consider users from the following 5 strata: below 13 year-olds; 13 – 21 year-olds; 22 – 40 year-olds; 41 – 60 year-olds; above 60 year-olds. Conduct the survey on the first 24 people from each stratum who exits a particular train station (eg City Hall MRT at 12 noon on Weekday). Quota sampling may not give a fair representation of the perception of the general population of MRT users. For example, users who exit from other stations (say along Circle line or NE line) or who travel during peak rush hour in the morning or early evening may have a different travel experience. OR as the surveyor may survey people who appear more approachable and willing to
6 participate in the survey such as tourists. No, as the sampling frame, a list of all users of the train system is not easily obtainable. 7i [2] Number of ways in which 1 man and 2 women are chosen = 6 12 6 ( 1) 3 ( 1)2 n nnC C n n Number of ways in which 3 women are chosen = 3 ( 1)( 2) ( 1)( 2) 3! 6 n n n n n n nC Total number of ways = ( 1)( 2) ( 1)( 16)3 ( 1)66 n n n n n n nn 1So, 6a 7ii [2] ( 1)( 16)f ( ) is an increasing function for 1.6 n n nnn From the GC, when n = 9, f(n) = 300 when n = 10, f(n) = 390 Thus, , 9 (or 10)n n n [1] X does not follow a binomial distribution. Reason: The event that a committee member is a man is not independent of the event another committee member is a man. OR The gender of a committee member is not independent of that of another. 8i [2] 0.929r (3 s.f) r is close to 1, which indicates a strong linear correlation between x and t. So it suggests that a linear model is appropriate. 8ii [2] The scatter diagram shows that as t increases, x increases at an increasing rate, which suggests that the data points may fit better with ln x a bt . 8iii [2] ln 3.02 0.654xt (3 s.f) r = 0.999 8iv [2] When 200x , ln 200 3.0210 0.65432 3.5 (1 d.p) t t Since x = 200 lies within the given range of data of x between 20 to 510 and there is a strong linear correlation between ln x and t as the product moment correlation coefficient is 0.999 (close to 1), the estimate is reliable. 9i Let R be the mass of a box of red grapes in grams.
