  1. Using exponentials, show that \(\cosh 2 u \equiv 2 \sinh ^ { 2 } u + 1\).
  2. By differentiating both sides of the identity in part (a) with respect to \(u\), show that \(\sinh 2 u \equiv 2 \sinh u \cosh u\).
  3. Use the substitution \(x = \sinh ^ { 2 } u\) to find \(\int \sqrt { \frac { x } { x + 1 } } \mathrm {~d} x\). Give your answer in the form \(a \sinh ^ { - 1 } b \sqrt { x } + \mathrm { f } ( x )\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers and \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is a function to be determined.
  4. Hence determine the exact area of the region between the curve \(y = \sqrt { \frac { x } { x + 1 } }\), the \(x\)-axis, the line \(x = 1\) and the line \(x = 2\). Give your answer in the form \(p + q \ln r\) where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are numbers to be determined.

4 A particle of mass 0.5 kg is initially at point \(O\). It moves from rest along the \(x\)-axis under the influence of two forces \(F _ { 1 } \mathrm {~N}\) and \(F _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\) which act parallel to the \(x\)-axis. At time \(t\) seconds the velocity of the particle is \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
\(F _ { 1 }\) is acting in the direction of motion of the particle and \(F _ { 2 }\) is resisting motion.
In an initial model
  • \(F _ { 1 }\) is proportional to \(t\) with constant of proportionality \(\lambda > 0\),
  • \(F _ { 2 }\) is proportional to \(v\) with constant of proportionality \(\mu > 0\).
    1. Show that the motion of the particle can be modelled by the following differential equation.
$$\frac { 1 \mathrm {~d} v } { 2 \mathrm {~d} t } = \lambda t - \mu v$$
  • Solve the differential equation in part (a), giving the particular solution for \(v\) in terms of \(t\), \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\). You are now given that \(\lambda = 2\) and \(\mu = 1\).
  • Find a formula for an approximation for \(v\) in terms of \(t\) when \(t\) is large. In a refined model
    • \(F _ { 1 }\) is constant, acting in the direction of motion with magnitude 2 N ,
    • \(F _ { 2 }\) is as before with \(\mu = 1\).
    • Write down a differential equation for the refined model.
    • Without solving the differential equation in part (d), write down what will happen to the velocity in the long term according to this refined model.

Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
    b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
    A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
    c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
    d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
    e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
    • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
    • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
    Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
    Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
    f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
    • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
    • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
    • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
    For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
    If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
    h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \section*{Abbreviations}

    2 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
    Solve the equation \(2 \cosh ^ { 2 } x + 5 \sinh x - 5 = 0\) giving each answer in the form \(\ln ( p + q \sqrt { r } )\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational numbers, and \(r\) is an integer, whose values are to be determined. You are given that the matrix \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 1 & 0 & 0
    0 & \frac { 2 a - a ^ { 2 } } { 3 } & 0
    0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right)\), where \(a\) is a positive constant, represents the transformation R which is a reflection in 3-D.
    1. State the plane of reflection of \(R\).
    2. Determine the value of \(a\).
    3. With reference to R explain why \(\mathbf { A } ^ { 2 } = \mathbf { I }\), the \(3 \times 3\) identity matrix.
    4. By using Euler's formula show that \(\cosh ( \mathrm { iz } ) = \cos z\).
    5. Hence, find, in logarithmic form, a root of the equation \(\cos z = 2\). [You may assume that \(\cos z = 2\) has complex roots.] A swing door is a door to a room which is closed when in equilibrium but which can be pushed open from either side and which can swing both ways, into or out of the room, and through the equilibrium position. The door is sprung so that when displaced from the equilibrium position it will swing back towards it. The extent to which the door is open at any time, \(t\) seconds, is measured by the angle at the hinge, \(\theta\), which the plane of the door makes with the plane of the equilibrium position. See the diagram below.
      \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{20816f61-154d-4491-9d2d-4c62687bf81e-03_317_954_497_255} In an initial model of the motion of a certain swing door it is suggested that \(\theta\) satisfies the following differential equation. $$4 \frac { \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } \theta } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 25 \theta = 0$$
      1. Write down the general solution to (\textit{).
      2. With reference to the behaviour of your solution in part (a)(i) explain briefly why the model using (}) is unlikely to be realistic. In an improved model of the motion of the door an extra term is introduced to the differential equation so that it becomes $$4 \frac { \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } \theta } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + \lambda \frac { \mathrm { d } \theta } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 25 \theta = 0$$ where \(\lambda\) is a positive constant.
    6. In the case where \(\lambda = 16\) the door is held open at an angle of 0.9 radians and then released from rest at time \(t = 0\).
      1. Find, in a real form, the general solution of ( \(\dagger\) ).
      2. Find the particular solution of ( \(\dagger\) ).
      3. With reference to the behaviour of your solution found in part (b)(ii) explain briefly how the extra term in ( \(\dagger\) ) improves the model.
    7. Find the value of \(\lambda\) for which the door is critically damped. \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 1: 37} \section*{Resource Materials} 1(a)

      constant.
    4. Using \(\mathbf { A } , \mathbf { B }\) and \(\mathbf { C }\) in that order demonstrate explicitly the associativity property of matrix multiplication.
    5. Use \(\mathbf { A }\) and \(\mathbf { C }\) to disprove by counterexample the proposition 'Matrix multiplication is commutative'. For a certain value of \(a , \mathbf { A } \binom { x } { y } = 3 \binom { x } { y }\).

Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
      b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
      A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
      c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
      d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
      e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
      • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
      • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
      Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
      Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
      f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
      • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
      • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
      • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
      For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
      If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
      h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \section*{Abbreviations}

    \(3 A\) is a fixed point on a smooth horizontal surface. A particle \(P\) is initially held at \(A\) and released from rest. It subsequently performs simple harmonic motion in a straight line on the surface. After its release it is next at rest after 0.2 seconds at point \(B\) whose displacement is 0.2 m from \(A\). The point \(M\) is halfway between \(A\) and \(B\). The displacement of \(P\) from \(M\) at time \(t\) seconds after release is denoted by \(x \mathrm {~m}\).

    3 A capacitor is an electrical component which stores charge. The value of the charge stored by the capacitor, in suitable units, is denoted by \(Q\). The capacitor is placed in an electrical circuit. At any time \(t\) seconds, where \(t \geqslant 0 , Q\) can be modelled by the differential equation \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } Q } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } - 2 \frac { \mathrm {~d} Q } { \mathrm {~d} t } - 15 Q = 0\). Initially the charge is 100 units and it is given that \(Q\) tends to a finite limit as \(t\) tends to infinity.
    1. Determine the charge on the capacitor when \(t = 0.5\).
    2. Determine the finite limit of \(Q\) as \(t\) tends to infinity. The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is given by \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } 0.6 & 2.4

Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
      b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
      A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
      c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
      d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
      e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
      • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
      • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
      Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
      Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
      f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
      • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
      • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
      • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
      For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
      If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
      h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]

    5 Let \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \sin ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
      1. Determine \(f ^ { \prime \prime } ( x )\).
      2. Determine the first two non-zero terms of the Maclaurin expansion for \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\).
      3. By considering the first two non-zero terms of the Maclaurin expansion for \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } )\), find an approximation to \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x\). Give your answer correct to 6 decimal places.
    1. By writing \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) as \(\sin ^ { - 1 } ( x ) \times 1\), determine the value of \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x\). Give your answer in exact form. \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 6: 37} \section*{Mark scheme} \section*{Marking Instructions} a An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper. Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
      b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
      A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
      c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
      d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
      e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
      • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
      • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
      Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
      Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
      f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
      • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
      • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
      • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
      For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
      If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
      h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]

    1 A set of bivariate data ( \(X , Y\) ) is summarised as follows.
    \(n = 25 , \Sigma x = 9.975 , \Sigma y = 11.175 , \Sigma x ^ { 2 } = 5.725 , \Sigma y ^ { 2 } = 46.200 , \Sigma x y = 11.575\)
    1. Calculate the value of Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient.
    2. Calculate the equation of the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\). It is desired to know whether the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\) will provide a reliable estimate of \(y\) when \(x = 0.75\).
    3. State one reason for believing that the estimate will be reliable.
    4. State what further information is needed in order to determine whether the estimate is reliable.

    2 The average numbers of cars, lorries and buses passing a point on a busy road in a period of 30 minutes are 400,80 and 17 respectively.
    1. Assuming that the numbers of each type of vehicle passing the point in a period of 30 minutes have independent Poisson distributions, calculate the probability that the total number of vehicles passing the point in a randomly chosen period of 30 minutes is at least 520 .
    2. Buses are known to run in approximate accordance with a fixed timetable. Explain why this casts doubt on the use of a Poisson distribution to model the number of buses passing the point in a fixed time interval. The greatest weight \(W \mathrm {~N}\) that can be supported by a shelving bracket of traditional design is a normally distributed random variable with mean 500 and standard deviation 80 . A sample of 40 shelving brackets of a new design are tested and it is found that the mean of the greatest weights that the brackets in the sample can support is 473.0 N .
    3. Test at the \(1 \%\) significance level whether the mean of the greatest weight that a bracket of the new design can support is less than the mean of the greatest weight that a bracket of the traditional design can support.
    4. State an assumption needed in carrying out the test in part (a).
    5. Explain whether it is necessary to use the central limit theorem in carrying out the test.
