The diagram shows a vertical cross-section of a container in the form of an
inverted cone of height
24 cm
and base radius
9 cm
. The container is
initially empty. Water is poured into the container at a constant rate of
3 1
30 cm s

and the height of water level in the container at time t is h cm.

12. A film distributor claimed that the tickets sales for a particular movie hit an
average of 1185 tickets a day. A random sample of 56 days was taken and the
sales, x tickets, for each day were recorded. It was found that
( ) 1000 9976 x =

( )

43286.1 x x =

(i) Find, correct to 2 decimal places, the unbiased estimate of the population
mean and variance of the ticket sales. [2]
(ii) Test at 2% significance level whether the distributor was overstating his
claim. [5]
(iii) Explain what is meant by the phrase at 2% significance level in the
context of this question. [1]
(iv) The same sample of 56 days is used in another test to determine whether
the average sale of tickets is 1185. If the null hypothesis is rejected,
determine an inequality satisfied by the significance level % o , of this
test. [2]

The temperature of the body,
o
C u , is observed to vary with time t. At a
particular environmental temperature
o
0
C u , the table below shows a set of data
relating
0
( ) Y u u and time t.


Y (
o
C)
60 46 33 21 15 11 8 7
t (min) 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22


(i) Sketch a scatter diagram of Y against t for the data
and, by comparing the product moment correlation
coefficients of the models below, deduce which of
the following models is more appropriate.



A:
2
Y a bt = +

B: ln( ) Y a bt = + [4]

(ii) For the selected model, find the values of a and b. [2]

(iii) If the environmental temperature is
o
0
28 C u = ,
find the temperature of the body, correct to 1
decimal place, half an hour after the start of the
experiment. Comment on why it is unwise to use
the selected equation in (i) to estimate this
temperature of the body. [2]

(iv) Explain why it is reasonable to use the selected
regression line in (i) to estimate t when 50 Y = . [2]

For model A, 0.837 r = while for model B, 0.995 r = .
Thus model B is the more appropriate model.


(ii) From G.C,
0
ln( ) 4.201 0.1088t u u =

So a = 4.20 and b = 0.109


(iii) When
0
u = 28 and t = 30,
So ln( 28) 4.201 0.1088(30) u =
30.6 (1 d.p) u =


Since t = 30 is out of the range of t for the given data
(which is [1, 22]), the behavior of ln(
0
u u ) against t may
no longer be linear and so the estimate may be inaccurate.


(iv) Time is a controlled variable and so the temperature of
the body is dependent on it.
