Therefore y – 3 = -1/6 (x-9.5) gives y= x+ or y=-0.167x+4.58 A1

(d) h1=μ 1< μ 2 (accept equivalent in words) A1
(e) (i) First 12 orders = convenience sample A1
(ii) Not showing a range of customer preferences (lunch v dinner v breakfast
for example A1
Alternatives:
Convenience sampled may be biased
Not representative of whole day
People usually spend more on dinner than breakfast so may be less accurate if only
sampling in morning
(f) 0.0897>0.05, or p-value is great than significance level A1
we accept the null hypothesis, or equivalent statement A1
Only award A2 if correct justification given

(a) (i) Attempt to find Q3 from GDC (M1)
= 7.2 A1
(ii) Correct method for finding IQR: Their Q3 – Q1 (M1)
= 0.7 A1
(b) Attempt to use outlier test (M1)
I.e. their “LQ” +1.5 x “their IQR”
7.2+1.5(0.7)=8.25
= 8.25 A1
7.5<8.25 therefore not an outlier A1

(ii) it would still be ranked as position 6 which would not change our r value A1
(e) can we agree on some valid reasons?
He is incorrect, very weak positive correlation so no evidence to support his claim.

(a.i)
Write down the mid-interval value of 70 ≤ t<80 .

(a.ii)
Calculate an estimate of the mean running time of the 200 movies.

Markscheme
attempt to substitute values in the mean formula with at least one mid-
interval value multiplied by a corresponding frequency (M1)
(mean =) 88.2 ( 88.15 ) ( minutes ) A1

(c)
Use your answer to part (b) to estimate whether “Star Feud’s” running
time is an outlier for this data. Justify your answer.

(upper bound =) 91.5+1.5 × 7.5 OR 102.75 seen A1
102.75>100 OR 100−91.5<11.25 OR 100−11.25<91.5
R1 Star Feud is not an outlier A1 Note: Do not award R0A1.
[3 marks]
(d)
Write down the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test.
[2]
Markscheme
H 0 : The running times of the movies can be modelled by N ( 88 , 6.752 )
H 1 : The running times of the movies cannot be modelled by N ( 88 , 6.752 )
A1A1 Note: Award A1 for each correct hypothesis that includes a reference
to normal distribution with a mean of 88 and a standard deviation of 6.75 (or
variance of 6.752 ). “Correlation”, “independence”, “association”, and
“relationship” are incorrect. Award at most A0A1 for correctly worded
hypotheses that include a reference to a normal distribution but omit the
distribution’s parameters in one or both hypotheses. Award A0A1 for
correct hypotheses that are reversed.

(e.i)
Find the value of a and the value of b .

Hence, perform the test to a 5 % significance level, clearly stating the
conclusion in context.

R1 0.0166< 0.05 Note: Accept p value of 0.0165 ( ¿ 0.0164693 … ) from using
a and b to 3 sf. (Reject H 0, There is sufficient evidence to say that) the data
has not been drawn from the ( N ( 88 ,6.75 2) ) distribution. A1
Note: Do not award R0A1. The conclusion to part (e)(ii) MUST follow
through from their hypotheses seen in part (d); if hypotheses are
incorrect/reversed etc., the answer to part (e)(ii) must reflect this in order for
the A1 to be credited.
