[5 marks]
2. Answer:
Score 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 Table (a)
No. of students 2 3 10 20 k 6 2 1 (b)
shows
the frequency distribution of scores of a group of students in a quiz. It is given
that the median of the distribution is 17.
(a) Calculate the value of k
(b) Calculate the variance of the distribution [3 marks]
3. (a) Prove that [3 marks]
(b) Sketch the graph of for [5 marks]
4. Use the graph paper to answer this question Answer:
Table 2 shows the value of two variables, and , obtained from an (b)
experiment. The variables and are related by the equation (i) 2.95
where and are constants. (ii) 2
1 2 3 4 5 6 (iii) 16.60
6 12 24 48 96 192
(a) Plot against by using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit on the
–axis and 2 cm to 0.2 unit on the -axis. Hence, draw the line
of best fit. [5 marks]
(b) Use the graph in 4(a) to find the value of
(i) (ii) (iii) when [5 marks]
5. (a) In a housing area, 25% of the residents are senior citizens. Answer:
(i) If a sample of 6 people is chosen at random, calculate the (a)
probability that at least 2 of them are senior citizens. (i) 0.4661
(ii) If the variance of the number of senior citizens is 375, find the (ii) 2 000
number of residents in the housing area. [5 marks]
(b) The masses of the students in a school are normally distributed with (b)
a mean of 50 kg and a standard deviation of 8 kg. (i) 0.2266
(i) If a student is selected randomly, find the probability that his (ii) 46
mass is more than 56 kg.
(ii) Given that 30.85% of the students have a mass of less than
kg, find the value of [5 marks]
6. Table 3 shows the prices and the weightages of four ingredients, P, Q, R and S, Answer:
used in making a type of biscuits in the years 2006 and 2008.
Price(RM) in the year (a)
Ingredients Weightage
2006 2008
P 5 7 8
Q 20 22 4
R 30 36 5
S 10 8 3
(a) Calculate the price indices of each of the ingredients, P,Q,R and S, in the (b) RM 24
year 2008 based on the year 2006.Hence, calculate the composite index (c) 137.5
for the cost of making the biscuits in the year 2008 based on the year
2006.
(b) If the biscuits are sold at RM20 per packet in the year 2006, calculate the
selling price of a packet of biscuits in the year 2008
(c) Calculate the price index of ingredient Q in the year 2008 based on the
year 2004 if its price index in the year 2006 based on the year 2004 is 125
