2. Tessa owns a small clothes shop in a seaside town. She records the weekly sales figures, £ w,
and the average weekly temperature, t °C, for 8 weeks during the summer.
The product moment correlation coefficient for these data is −0.915

not the correlation between sales figures and average weekly temperature is negative.

3. In an experiment a group of children each repeatedly throw a dart at a target.

For each child, the random variable H represents the number of times the dart hits the
target in the first 10 throws.

Peta models H as B(10, 0.1)
(a) State two assumptions Peta needs to make to use her model.
(2)
(b) Using Peta’s model, find P(H  4)

P(F = n) = 0.01 + (n − 1) × α
where α is a constant.

5. The lifetime, L hours, of a battery has a normal distribution with mean 18 hours and
standard deviation 4 hours.

Alice’s calculator requires 4 batteries and will stop working when any one battery reaches
the end of its lifetime.
(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected battery will last for longer than 16 hours.
(1)
At the start of her exams Alice put 4 new batteries in her calculator.
She has used her calculator for 16 hours, but has another 4 hours of exams to sit.
(b) Find the probability that her calculator will not stop working for Alice’s remaining exams.
(5)
Alice only has 2 new batteries so, after the first 16 hours of her exams, although her
calculator is still working, she randomly selects 2 of the batteries from her calculator and
replaces these with the 2 new batteries.
(c) Show that the probability that her calculator will not stop working for the remainder
of her exams is 0.199 to 3 significant figures.
(3)

After her exams, Alice believed that the lifetime of the batteries was more than 18 hours.
She took a random sample of 20 of these batteries and found that their mean lifetime was
19.2 hours.
(d) Stating your hypotheses clearly and using a 5% level of significance, test Alice’s belief.

8. [In this question i and j are horizontal unit vectors due east and due north respectively
and position vectors are given relative to the fixed point O.]

A particle P moves with constant acceleration.
At time t = 0, the particle is at O and is moving with velocity (2i − 3j) m s−1
At time t = 2 seconds, P is at the point A with position vector (7i − 10j) m.
(a) Show that the magnitude of the acceleration of P is 2.5 m s−2
(4)
At the instant when P leaves the point A, the acceleration of P changes so that P now
moves with constant acceleration (4i + 8.8j) m s−2
At the instant when P reaches the point B, the direction of motion of P is north east.
(b) Find the time it takes for P to travel from A to B.

A plank, AB, of mass M and length 2a, rests with its end A against a rough vertical wall.
The plank is held in a horizontal position by a rope. One end of the rope is attached to the plank

at B and the other end is attached to the wall at the point C, which is vertically above A.
A small block of mass 3M is placed on the plank at the point P, where AP = x.
The plank is in equilibrium in a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the wall.

The angle between the rope and the plank is α, where tan α = , as shown in Figure 3.

The plank is modelled as a uniform rod, the block is modelled as a particle and the rope
is modelled as a light inextensible string.

(b) Find x in terms of a.
(2)
The force exerted on the plank at A by the wall acts in a direction which makes an DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

A boy throws a ball at a target. At the instant when the ball leaves the boy’s hand at the
point A, the ball is 2 m above horizontal ground and is moving with speed U at an angle α
above the horizontal.
In the subsequent motion, the highest point reached by the ball is 3 m above the ground.
The target is modelled as being the point T, as shown in Figure 4.
