A large school has students from Year 6 to Year 12.

A group of 80 students in Year 12 were randomly selected and surveyed to find out how
many hours per week they each spend doing homework. Their results are represented by
the following cumulative frequency graph.

(Question 7 continued)

(a) Find the median number of hours per week these Year 12 students spend
doing homework. [2]

(b) Given that 10 % of these Year 12 students spend more than k hours per week doing
homework, find the value of k . [3]

This same information is represented by the following table.

(c) Find the value of p and the value of q . [4]

There are 320 students in Year 12 at this school.

(d) Estimate the number of Year 12 students that spend more than 15 hours each week
doing homework. [3]

(e) (i) Explain why this sampling method might not provide an accurate representation
of the amount of time all of the students in the school spend doing homework.

(ii) Suggest a more appropriate sampling method. [2]

Particle A travels in a straight line such that its displacement, s metres, from a fixed origin
after t seconds is given by s (t) = 8t - t 2 , for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 , as shown in the following diagram.

Particle A starts at the origin and passes through the origin again when t = p .

(a) Find the value of p . [2]

Particle A changes direction when t = q .

(b) (i) Find the value of q .

(ii) Find the displacement of particle A from the origin when t = q . [4]

A second particle, particle B, travels along the same straight line such that its velocity is given
by v (t) = 14 - 2t , for t ≥ 0 .

When t = k , the distance travelled by particle B is equal to d .

(e) Find the value of k . [4]
