Applied l6 Paper 2023

The document contains 6 multi-part maths and statistics questions. Question 1 involves modelling the motion of a parachutist falling from a helicopter. Question 2 involves calculating the acceleration and distance travelled of a motorbike moving with constant acceleration. Question 3 involves finding times when a particle is at rest and the total distance it travels. Question 4 involves probability, Venn diagrams and mutually exclusive events. Question 5 involves sampling methods, estimating standard deviation and the effect of correcting data. Question 6 involves estimating a percentage from a histogram.

Mathematical formulae Year-1

For motion in a straight line


with constant acceleration:
1)

A helicopter is hovering at rest above horizontal ground at the point H. A parachutist steps out of the
helicopter and immediately falls vertically and freely under gravity from rest for 2.5 s. His parachute then
opens and causes him to immediately decelerate at a constant rate of 3.9 m s–2 for T seconds (T < 6),
until his speed is reduced to V m s–1. He then moves with this constant speed V m s–1 until he hits the
ground. While he is decelerating, he falls a distance of 73.75 m. The total time between the instant when
he leaves H and the instant when he hits the ground is 20 s.

The parachutist is modelled as a particle.

(a) Find the speed of the parachutist at the instant when his parachute opens.
(1)
(b) Sketch a speed-time graph for the motion of the parachutist from the instant when he leaves H to the
instant when he
hits the ground.
(2)
(c) Find the value of T.
(5)
(d) Find, to the nearest metre, the height of the point H above the ground.

Q2.

A motorbike is moving with constant acceleration along a straight horizontal road.

The motorbike passes a point P and 10 seconds later passes a point Q.

The speed of the motorbike as it passes Q is 28 m s–1

Given that PQ = 220 m,

(a) find the acceleration of the motorbike,


(3)
(b) find the distance travelled by the motorbike during the fifth second after passing P

Q3.

A particle P moves on the x-axis.

At time t = 0, P is instantaneously at rest at O.

At time t seconds, t > 0, the x coordinate of P is given by

Find

(a) the non-zero values of t for which P is at instantaneous rest


(3)
(b) the total distance travelled by P in the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 4
(3)
(c) the acceleration of P when t = 4

Q4.

The events H and W are such that

Given that H and W are independent,

(a) show that P(W) =


(4)
The event N is such that

(b) Find P
(2)
Given that W and N are mutually exclusive,

(c) draw a Venn diagram to represent the events H, W and N giving the exact probabilities of each region
in the Venn diagram.

5)
A company sells assorted chocolate discs of different sizes.
In each batch, there are an estimated 90 dark chocolates, 270 milk chocolates and 180 white chocolates.
Lorraine wishes to carry out quality control checks.
She decides to take a sample of 90 chocolates.

(a) Give a reason why stratified random sampling cannot be used.


(1)
(b) Explain how a sample of size 90 could be taken to ensure that the estimated
populations of each type of chocolate are fairly represented.

You should state the name of the sampling method used.


(2)

As part of the quality control check, Lorraine measured the diameters of the chocolate discs.

Her results are given in the table below.

Diameter (d mm) Frequency (f) Midpoint (m mm)


10 ≤ d < 15 8 12.5
15 ≤ d < 20 15 17.5
20 ≤ d < 22 36 21
22 ≤ d < 27 24 24.5
27 ≤ d < 30 7 28.5

(You may use ∑ f𝑚 = 1 906 and ∑ f𝑚2 = 41 811.5)

(c) Calculate an estimate for the standard deviation of the diameter of the chocolates.
(2)

Lorraine realised that she had incorrectly recorded 2 of the diameters of the chocolate discs.
She had recorded 10.1 in the table instead of 21.9 and 23.5 instead of 25.3.
(d) Without calculating a new estimate for the standard deviation, state what effect
(i) using the correct figure of 21.9 instead of 10.1
(ii) using the correct figure of 25.3 instead of 23.5
would have on your estimated standard deviation.
Give a reason for each of your answers.

The histogram in Figure 1 shows the weights of dogs at a kennel.

There are 18 dogs who weigh less than 15kg.

Estimate the percentage of dogs who weigh more than 17kg.
