QUESTION 1

A recording company investigates the relationship between the number of times a CD is played
by a national radio station and the national sales of the same CD in the following week.
The data below was collected for a random sample of 10 CDs. The sales figures are rounded to
the nearest 50.

Number of times CD
47 34 40 34 33 50 28 53 25 46
is played
Weekly sales of the CD 3 950 2 500 3 700 2 800 2 900 3 750 2 300 4 400 2 200 3 400

1.1 Identify the independent variable. (1)

1.2 Draw a scatter plot of this data on the grid provided on DIAGRAM SHEET 1. (3)

1.3 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line. (4)

1.4 Calculate the correlation coefficient. (2)

1.5 Predict, correct to the nearest 50, the weekly sales for a CD that was played 45 times
by the radio station in the previous week. (2)

1.6 Comment on the strength of the relationship between the variables. (1)

QUESTION 2

Each of the 200 employees of a company wrote a competency test. The results are indicated in
the table below:

PASS FAIL TOTAL

Males 46 32 78
Females 72 50 122
Total 118 82 200

2.1 Are the events PASS and FAIL mutually exclusive? Explain your answer. (2)

2.2 Is passing the competency test independent of gender? Substantiate your answer with

QUESTION 3

A company producing television sets decided to check the lifespan (in years) of their most
popular model. They selected 50 sets of the most popular model at random for this test. The
lifespan of each set was recorded. The information is represented in the table below.

LIFESPAN FREQUENCY
(IN YEARS)
4,95 ≤ x < 5,65 2
5,65 ≤ x < 6,35 6
6,35 ≤ x < 7,05 18
7,05 ≤ x < 7,75 17
7,75 ≤ x < 8,45 5
8,45 ≤ x < 9,15 2

3.1 Construct a histogram to represent the data. Use the grid provided on
DIAGRAM SHEET 2. (3)

3.2 Calculate the estimated mean lifespan of the most popular model of television set. (3)

3.3 The data representing the lifespan of this batch of television sets is normally
distributed. This implies that approximately 68% of the data lies within one standard
deviation of the mean, approximately 98% of the data lies within two standard
deviations of the mean and approximately 100% of the data lies within three standard
deviations of the mean. The standard deviation of this data set is 0,76 years.

Calculate the lifespan of the most popular model of television set such that 98% of
the lifespan of all the sets will exceed this value. (3)

3.4 The company wants to issue a 5-year guarantee with this model of television set.
What would you recommend? Justify your recommendation. (2)
