Question 11 (4 marks)

There are two tanks on a property, Tank A and Tank B. Initially, Tank A holds 1000 litres
of water and Tank B is empty.

(a) Tank A begins to lose water at a constant rate of 20 litres per minute. The volume 1
of water in Tank A is modelled by V = 1000 − 20 t where V is the volume in litres
and t is the time in minutes from when the tank begins to lose water.

Question 27 (5 marks)

A cricket is an insect. The male cricket produces a chirping sound. 5

A scientist wants to explore the relationship between the temperature in degrees

Celsius and the number of cricket chirps heard in a 15-second time interval.

Once a day for 20 days, the scientist collects data. Based on the 20 data points, the
scientist provides the information below.

• A box-plot of the temperature data is shown.

• The mean temperature in the dataset is 0.525°C below the median temperature in
the dataset.

• A total of 684 chirps was counted when collecting the 20 data points.

The scientist fits a least-squares regression line using the data ( x, y ), where x is the
temperature in degrees Celsius and y is the number of chirps heard in a 15-second time
interval. The equation of this line is
y = −10.6063 + bx ,

where b is the slope of the regression line.

The least-squares regression line passes through the point ( x̄ , ȳ ) where x̄ is the
sample mean of the temperature data and ȳ is the sample mean of the chirp data.
