13 14. Vanessa wants to rent a place for her wedding reception. She obtains two quotations. The local council will charge her 30 for the use of the community hall plus 10 per guest. (i) Copy and complete this table for charges made by the local council. Number of guests (N) Charges (C) in On graph paper, using suitable scales, draw and label a graph showing the charges. Take the horizontal axis as the number of guests and the vertical axis as the charges. (3) (iii) Write a formula for C, in terms N, that can be used by the local council to calculate their charges. The local hotel calculates charges for their conference room using the formula: C = 5N where C is the charge in and N is the number of guests. (i) Describe, in words only, what this formula means. (iii) Copy and complete this table for the charges made by the hotel. Number of guests (N) Charges (C) in On the same axes used in part, draw this graph of C. Label your graph clearly. (c) Explain, briefly, what the two graphs tell you about the charges made. (d) Using your graphs or otherwise, find the cost of renting the community hall if there are 87 guests. (Total 16 marks) 13

14 15. In an experiment a vertical spring was fixed at its upper end. It was stretched by hanging different weights on its lower end. The length of the spring was then measured. The following readings were obtained. Load (kg) x Length (cm) y Plot these pairs of values on a scatter diagram taking 1 cm to represent 1 kg on the horizontal axis and 1 cm to represent 2 cm on the vertical axis. (4) (i) Write down the mean value of the load ( x ). Write down the standard deviation of the load. (iii) Write down the mean value of the length ( y ). (iv) Write down the standard deviation of the length. (c) Plot the mean point ( x, y ) on the scatter diagram. Name it L. (d) (i) Write down the correlation coefficient, r. Comment on this result. (e) Find the equation of the regression line of y on x. (f) Draw the line of regression on the scatter diagram. (g) (i) Using your diagram or otherwise, estimate the length of the spring when a load of 5.4 kg is applied. Malcolm uses the equation to claim that a weight of 30 kg would result in a length of 62.8 cm. Comment on his claim. (Total 18 marks) 14
