Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers
must be supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic
display calculator should be supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are
used to find a solution, you should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an
answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.
Section A
Answer all questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided.
Working may be continued below the lines if necessary.

Consider the function defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 6𝑥. The graph of 𝑓 passes through the point
A(2,-8).
(a) (i) Find the gradient of the tangent to the graph of 𝑓 at the point A.
(ii) Hence, write down the gradient of the normal to the graph of 𝑓 at point A. [3]
(b) Write down the equation of the normal to the graph of 𝑓 at point A. [1]
The normal to the graph of 𝑓 at point A intersects the graph of 𝑓 again at a second point B.

A teacher wants to investigate if there is a relation between the results of their Math
test and the hours spent by the students in social media. She decided to survey 8
students. The following table shows the results,

Section B
Answer all questions in the answer booklet provided. Please start each question on a
new page.
A factory is producing bags of sand. An automatic machine is filling the bags. The weight
of each bag, 𝑊 kgs, can be modelled by a normal distribution with a mean µ and a
standard deviation σ.
It is known that P(𝑊 < 31) = 0.0388 and P(𝑊 > 33) = 0.2781
(a)Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected bag is between 31 and
33 kilograms. [2]
The company measures 100 bags selected at random. Any bag between 31 and 33
kilograms passes the control. Weights of bags are independent of each other.
(c)(i) Find the probability that exactly 70 bags pass the control.
(ii) Given that 70 bags pass the control, find the probability that exactly 60 bags
