A mining company has found deposits of gold between two points, `A` and `B`, that are located on a straight fence line that separates Ms Pot's property and Mr Neg's property. The distance between `A` and `B` is 4 units.

The mining company believes that the gold could be found on both Ms Pot's property and Mr Neg's property.

The mining company initially models he boundary of its proposed mining area using the fence line and the graph of 

`f : [0, 4] → R, \ f(x) = x(x-2)(x-4)`

where `x` is the number of units from point `A` in the direction of point `B` and `y` is the number of units perpendicular to the fence line, with the positive direction towards Ms Pot's property. The mining company will only mine from the boundary curve to the fence line, as indicated by the shaded area below.
 

  1. Determine the total number of square units that will be mined according to this model.   (2 marks)

The mining company offers to pay Mr Neg $100 000 per square unit of his land mined and Ms Pot $120 000 per square unit of her land mined.

  1. Determine the total amount of money that the mining company offers to pay.   (1 mark)

The mining company reviews its model to use the fence line and the graph of

     `p : [0, 4] → R, \ p(x) = x(x-4 + (4)/(1 + a)) (x-4)`  where `a > 0`.

  1. Find the value of  `a`  for which  `p(x) = f(x)`  for all `x`.   (1 mark)

  2. Solve  `p^{′}(x) = 0`  for `x` in terms of `a`.   (2 marks)

Mr Neg does not want his property to be mined further than 4 units measured perpendicular from the fence line.

The Human Development Index (HDI) and the mean number of children per woman for 13 countries are related.

This relationship is non-linear.

To linearise the data, a  `log_10`  transformation is applied to the response variable children.

A least squares line is then fitted to the linearised data.

The equation of this least squares line is

`log_10 (text(children)) = 1.06 - 0.00674 xx HDI`

Using this equation, the mean number of children per woman for a country with a HDI of 95 is predicted to be closest to

A paint company claims that the mean time taken for its paint to dry when motor vehicles are repaired is 3.55 hours, with a standard deviation of 0.66 hours.

Assume that the drying time for the paint follows a normal distribution and that the claimed standard deviation value is accurate.

  1. Let the random variable  `barX`  represent the mean time taken for the paint to dry for a random sample of 36 motor vehicles.

     

    Write down the mean and standard deviation of  `barX`.   (2 marks)

At a car crash repair centre, it was found that the mean time taken for the paint company's paint to dry on randomly selected vehicles was 3.85 hours. The management of this crash repair centre was not happy and believed that the claim regarding the mean time taken for the paint to dry was too low. To test the paint company's claim, a statistical test was carried out.

  1. Write down suitable null and alternative hypotheses `H_0` and `H_1` respectively to test whether the mean time taken for the paint to dry is longer than claimed.   (1 mark)

  2. Write down an expression for the  `p`  value of the statistical test and evaluate it correct to three decimal places.   (2 marks)

  3. Using a 1% level of significance, state with a reason whether the crash repair centre is justified in believing that the paint company's claim of mean time taken for its paint to dry of 3.55 hours is too low.  (1 mark)

  4. At the 1% level of significance, find the set of sample mean values that would support the conclusion that the mean time taken for the paint to dry exceeded 3.55 hours. Give your answer in hours, correct to three decimal places.  (2 marks)

  5. If the true time taken for the paint to dry is 3.83 hours, find the probability that the paint company's claim is not rejected at the 1% level of significance, assuming the standard deviation for the paint to dry is still 0.66 hours. Give your answer correct to two decimal places.  (1 mark)

A pallet of bricks weighing 500 kg sits on a rough plane inclined at an angle of  `α°` to the horizontal, where  `tan(α°) = (7)/(24)`. The pallet is connected by a light inextensible cable that passes over a smooth pulley to a hanging container of mass `m` kilograms in which there is 10 L of water. The pallet of bricks is held in equilibrium by the tension `T` newtons in the cable and a frictional resistance force of 50 `g` newtons acting up and parallel to the plane. Take the weight force exerted by 1 L of water to be `g` newtons.

The number of cars per day making a U-turn at a particular location is known to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 17.5. In a sample of 25 randomly selected days, a total of 1450 cars were observed making the U-turn.

  1. Based on this sample, calculate an approximate 95% confidence interval for the number of cars making the U-turn each day. Use an integer multiple of the standard deviation in your calculations.   (3 marks)

  2. The average number of U-turns made at the location is actually 60 per day.

     

    Find an approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the probability that on 25 randomly selected days the average number of U-turns is less than 53.   (1 mark)
