11 In this question you should state the parameters of any normal distributions you use.

A company conducts an aptitude test to recruit potential employees. There are two sections to the
test, a problem-solving component and a numeracy component.

It is found that the test scores of the problem-solving component is normally distributed; 15% of
the candidates obtained scores of less than 240, and 85% of the candidates had scores less than 260.

(i) Find the mean and standard deviation of the scores for the problem-solving
component. [3]

The scores of the numeracy component follow the distribution N(200, 42). A candidate is
randomly selected.
(ii) Find the probability that the difference in scores of the problem-solving component
of a randomly selected candidate and numeracy component of another randomly
selected candidate scores is within 45 marks. [4]

The recruitment score is calculated based on the sum of 60% of the problem-solving component
and 40% of the numeracy component. Candidates whose recruitment scores are in the top 10% of
the group will be recruited.
(iii) Find the minimum recruitment score a candidate needs to attain for him to be
recruited, leaving your answer correct to 2 decimal places. [4]
(iv) State an assumption for the calculations in parts (ii) and (iii) to be valid. [1]

12 A virologist claims that due to the introduction of vaccine, the recovery period from a certain type
of flu-like virus is on average 7 days. However, an analyst who works with such patients on a day-
to-day basis believes that the average recovery period quoted by the virologist is understated. He
carries out a survey to investigate this by recording the recovery period of 120 randomly chosen
patients. The recovery period of each of these 120 patients are denoted by x days. The summarised
results are given by
 ( x − 7 ) = 24  ( x − 7)
2
and = 14908.
(i) Explain in context, the meaning of a random sample of 120 patients. [1]
(ii) Calculate the unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance of the recovery
period of the patients. [2]
(iii) Carry out a test at 5% significance level, on the claim that the average recovery period
of 7 days is understated. [4]
(iv) Explain if the test in part (iii) would still be valid if the analyst had asked for recovery
periods from a random sample of 15 patients. [1]
(v) Suppose instead, the analyst wants to test if the average recovery period differs from
7 days. The analyst collects data from another random sample of 120 patients. Given
that the population standard deviation is now known to be 1 day, find the range of
values of the sample mean, x , such that the null hypothesis is rejected at 1% level of
significance. [4]

Note:
Students may notice that the cross product is the same as that for the normal of plane OABC and so can use
the result from (i) instead of solving the cross product from scratch.
Students may notice that plane OABC is a kite and so the area can be taken as twice area of triangle OAB.

When the region  is rotated about the y-axis completely, a sphere with radius 2r is obtained.
Using the symmetry property from the first curve C, the surface area obtained is the same as the first curve
with radius 2r.
Since 2r = 8, therefore r = 4.
Hence, its surface area is 16  r 2 = 16  42 = 256 units2.

Solving this system of linear equations :

 p = − 12 , q = 3 , and r = 0 .

Alternative Method (not recommended) :

For any integer n  2 ,
an = p(2n ) + qn + r
2an −1 − 3n + 6 = p(2n ) + qn + r

an −1 = p(2n −1 ) + q(n − 1) + r ,

( )
 2 p (2n −1 ) + q(n − 1) + r − 3n + 6 = p(2n ) + qn + r

p(2n ) + 2q(n − 1) + 2r − 3n + 6 = p(2 n ) + qn + r

p (2n ) + (2q − 3)n + (−2q + 2r + 6) = p(2n ) + qn + r , for any n  , n  2

Comparing the linear term in n and the constant on both sides of the equation produces
2q − 3 = q and −2q + 2r + 6 = r
q = 3, r = 2q − 6
= 2(3) − 6 = 0
