Range = 39 12 = 27
I.R. = 35 21 = 14
(3 marks)
I.R. for (a) = 14 and I.R. for (b) is 12, hence the distribution of the typing speed after the
training is not more dispersed than that before the training
(ii) Median of trained students = 40 > Median of untrained students, so not less than half of
(b) (i)
these students show improvement in their typing speed after the training.

(12 + h)3 = 3375
12 + h = 15
The depth of the water is 13 cm
(ii) Volume of the vessel = 640 + 608 = 1248 3920
Volume of the water and the metal = 884 + 1000 3780
Hence the water will not overflow.

(ii) The taxi fare is not equal to $(6 + 12 x) because the round up method is applied to x
15. (a) (i)
Taxi fare = 30 +
is not a multiple of 0.2 .
3.1 2
= 5.5 Taxi fare = 30 + 6 2.4 = $44.4
0.2
(c) Let Tn be the taxi fare for the n th journey
T1 = 30 + 6 2.4 = 44.4
T2 = 30 + 8 2.4 = 49.2
T3 = 30 + 11 2.4 = 56.4
T4 = 30 + 13 2.4 = 61.2
Hence T1 , T3 , is in A.S. with first term = 44.4 and C.D. = 12
T2 , T4 , is in A.S. with first term = 49.2 and C.D. = 12

Let P ( x, y ) = 4000 x + 6000 y be the profit.
Put y = 10 to L2 , we have x = 40
P (8,10) = 92000 ,
P(40,10) = 220000
(6 marks)
P (12, 24) = 192000
P (8,16) = 128000
Thus, the manager's claim is false.
