Assume P k is true for some k Z + i.e. k r= r(r + 2) = k(k + )(2k + 7) 6 To show that P k+ is also true i.e. k+ r= r(r + 2) = (k + )(k + 2)[2(k + ) + 7], 6 Bring out common factor (k + ) since it 6 appears on RHS. k+ L. H. S. = r= r(r + 2) = k r= r(r + 2) + (k + ) (k + 3) = k(k + )(2k + 7) + (k + ) (k + 3) 6 = (k + 6 )[2k2 + 7k + 6k + 8] = 6 (k + )[2k2 + 3k + 8] = (k + )(2k + 9)(k + 2) 6 = (k + )(k + 2)[2(k + ) + 7] 6 = R. H. S. Since L. H. S. = R. H. S., P k+ is true if P k is true. Since P is true and P k+ ifp k is true, P n is true n, n Z + by mathematical induction.

6 GCE A Level October/November 200 Suggested Solutions Mathematics H (9740/02) version Topic: Sampling (i) Due to the great cultural and regional variety of the international spectators, it would be difficult to divide them into appropriate the strata for a suitable analysis. Moreover, given the large size, multinational and mobile nature of the population of spectators, it will be tedious and time-consuming to accurately obtain the required representative sample % of spectators in each stratum. (ii) A systematic sample of % of the spectators could be obtained by first randomly interviewing a person leaving the premise of the catering facilities, and thereafter interviewing every 00 th person leaving the premise of the catering facilities. 6. Topic: Hypothesis Testing Given: n = t = t 2 = Stratified Sampling: Unbiased estimate of population mean, t = t n = = 4.3 Divide population into mutually-exclusive subgroups (strata), and then apply random or systematic sampling within each subgroup. Systematic Sampling: To obtain a systematic sample of size n from a population of size N, pick a random element from among the first k = N elements, and n thereafter picking every k th element. Unbiased estimate of population variance, s 2 = = n t ( t)2 n (454.3) Let µ be the mean time required by an employee to complete a task. To test H o : µ = 42.0 against H : µ 42.0 at 0% of significance Reject H o if p-value < 0.0. Applying t-test with t = 4.3, n =, s 2 =.584 using G. C. (refer to Appendix for detailed steps), From GC, the p-value = < 0.0, we reject H o. Hence, there is sufficient evidence at the 0% significance level that there has been a change in the mean time required by an employee to complete the task. From MF5 Testing for change in µ Two-tailed test Since population variance is not given and sample size is small (n < 30), a t-test is used. 5% 5% Copyright 200 ϕ exampaper.com.sg.
