Answer all questions in the answer booklet provided. Please start each question on a new
page. 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.

As part of his mathematics exploration about classic books, Jason investigated the time
taken by students in his school to read the book The Old Man and the Sea. He collected
his data by stopping and asking students in the school corridor, until he reached his target
of 10 students from each of the literature classes in his school.
(a) State which of the two sampling methods, systematic or quota, Jason has used. [1]
Jason constructed the following box and whisker diagram to show the number of hours
students in the sample took to read this book.
(b) Write down the median time to read the book. [1]
(c) Calculate the interquartile range. [2]
Mackenzie, a member of the sample, took 25 hours to read the novel. Jason believes
Mackenzie’s time is not an outlier.
(d) Determine whether Jason is correct. Support your reasoning. [4]
For each student interviewed, Jason recorded the time taken to read The Old Man and the
Sea (𝑥), measured in hours, and paired this with their percentage score on the final exam
(𝑦). These data are represented on the scatter diagram.
(This question continues on the following page)

(Question 1 continued)
(e) Describe the correlation. [1]
Jason correctly calculates the equation of the regression line 𝑦 on 𝑥 for these students to
be 𝑦 = −1.54𝑥 + 98.8.
He uses the equation to estimate the percentage score on the final exam for a student who
read the book in 1.5 hours.
(f) Find the percentage score calculated by Jason. [2]
(g) State whether it is valid to use the regression line 𝑦 on 𝑥 for Jason’s estimate. Give
a reason for your answer. [2]
Jason found a website that rated the ‘top 50’ classic books. He randomly chose eight of
these classic books and recorded the number of pages. For example, Book H is rated 44th
and has 281 pages. These data are shown in the table.
Jason intends to analyse the data using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, rs.
(h) Copy and complete the information in the following table. [2]
(i) (i) Calculate the value of rs .
(ii) Interpret your result. [3]

The diagram below shows a circular clock face with centre O. The clock’s minute hand has
a length of 10 cm. The clock’s hour hand has a length of 6 cm. At 4:00 pm the endpoint of
the minute hand is at point A and the endpoint of the hour hand is at point B.

(a) Find the size of angle AÔB in degrees. [2]
(b) Find the distance between points A and B. [3]
Between 4:00 pm and 4:13 pm, the endpoint of the minute hand rotates through an angle,
θ, from point A to point C. This is illustrated in the diagram.

(c) Find the size of angle θ in degrees. [2]
(d) Calculate the length of arc AC. [2]
(e) Calculate the area of the shaded sector, AOC. [2]
A second clock is illustrated in the diagram below. The clock face has radius 10 cm with
minute and hour hands both of length 10 cm. The time shown is 6:00 am. The bottom of
the clock face is located 3 cm above a horizontal bookshelf.

(Question 2 continued)
A second clock is illustrated in the diagram below. The clock face has radius 10 cm with
minute and hour hands both of length 10 cm. The time shown is 6:00 am. The bottom of
the clock face is located 3 cm above a horizontal bookshelf.

(f) Write down the height of the endpoint of the minute hand above the bookshelf at
6:00 am. [1]
The height, ℎ centimetres, of the endpoint of the minute hand above the bookshelf is
modelled by the function
ℎ(𝜃) = 10𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 13, 𝜃 ≥ 0,
where 𝜃 is the angle rotated by the minute hand from 6:00 am.
(g) Find the value of ℎ when 𝜃 = 160°. [2]
The height, 𝑔 centimetres, of the endpoint of the hour hand above the bookshelf is
modelled by the function
𝜃
𝑔(𝜃) = −10 cos (12) + 13, 𝜃 ≥ 0,
where 𝜃 is the angle in degrees rotated by the minute hand from 6:00 am.
(h) Write down the amplitude of 𝑔(𝜃). [1]
The endpoints of the minute hand and hour hand meet when 𝜃 = 𝑘.
(i) Find the smallest possible value of k. [2]

A farmer owns a field in the shape of a triangle ABC such that AB = 650 m, AC = 1005m
and BC = 1225m.

(a) Find the size of 𝐴𝐶̂ 𝐵. [3]
The local town is planning to build a highway that will intersect the borders of the field at
points 𝐷 and 𝐸, where 𝐷𝐶 = 210 m and 𝐶𝐸̂ 𝐷 = 100°, as shown in the diagram below.

(b) Find 𝐷𝐸. [3]
The town wishes to build a carpark here. They ask the farmer to exchange the part of the
field represented by triangle 𝐷𝐶𝐸. In return the farmer will get a triangle of equal area 𝐴𝐷𝐹,
where F lies on the same line as 𝐷 and 𝐸, as shown in the diagram above.
(c) Find the area of triangle 𝐷𝐶𝐸. [5]
(d) Estimate 𝐷𝐹. You may assume the highway has a width of zero. [4]
