(iii) Explain why the manager is able to conduct the test without knowing anything
about the distribution of the times taken to assemble the electrical components.[1]
(iv) Explain what is meant by the phrase “5% level of significance” in this context.[1]
The manager claims that the average time taken to assemble another type of electrical
component is 30 minutes. A random sample of 50 components of this type is chosen and
the time taken to assemble each component is recorded. The mean and standard deviation
of the sample are 29.7 minutes and k minutes respectively. Find the range of possible
values of k if a test at the 8% significance level shows that there is sufficient evidence that
the manager’s claim is valid. [4]

NOT the reverse.
It is INCORRECT to use the
word “shift” to describe
translation and the word
“flip/rotate” to describe reflection.
One of the transformations
involved is scaling parallel to the
y-axis with a factor of 3, it is
NOT with a factor of -3 or 3
units.
943
(ii) Note that the curve y x x2 1

y has asymptotes y x 1 and x 2.
You are expected to draw properly
and clearly, including the behaviour
of the curve y x x 1 near its

asymptote y x 1 meets the

If you use any line

If you use any line

the graph of f in the line y=x

The graph of f-1f is not simply the
line y = x. Must sketch for the
correct domain and passing
through (2, 2).
The graphs of f, f-1 and f-1f must

intersect at the same point.
