20 − 40 ln(1 + 𝑡𝑡)
𝑣𝑣 =

20(1 − 2 ln(1 + 𝑡𝑡))

∴ 𝑣𝑣 =

MATR22_GUIDELINES 18
Question 35a

Criteria Mark
• Correct explanation 1

Sample answer

From any position 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) the person can only take 1 step forward or 1 step backwards.

Hence 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1) can only vary from 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) by ±1

Question 35b

Criteria Marks
• Correctly shows expression. 2
• Correct expressions for [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1)]2 1

Sample answer

𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1) = 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1 or 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1) = 𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) − 1

[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1)]2 = [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1]2 or [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1)]2 = [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) − 1]2

= [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 + 2𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1 = [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 − 2𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1

Hence, the mean value is:

[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 + 2𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1 + [𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 − 2𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛) + 1

2

2[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 + 2

MATR22_GUIDELINES 19
Question 35d

Criteria Marks
• Uses |𝑎𝑎| = √𝑎𝑎2 to generate required expression 3
• Establishes the result 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 } = 𝑛𝑛 using (b) 2
• States 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(1)]2 } = 1 1

Sample answer

[𝑋𝑋(1)]2 = 1

∴ 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(1)]2 } = 1

From (b); 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛 + 1)]2 } = 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 } + 1

∴ 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(2)]2 } = 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(1)]2 } + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

And

𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(3)]2 } = 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(2)]2 } + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

And so on.

∴ 𝐸𝐸{[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2 } = 𝑛𝑛

Also, |𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)| = �[𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)]2

∴ 𝐸𝐸[|𝑋𝑋(𝑛𝑛)|] = √𝑛𝑛
