integration, or have retrievable mathematical formulae stored in them.
Instructions
•• Use black ink or ball-point pen.

•
If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name,

••
centre number and candidate number.
Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled.
Answer the questions in the spaces provided

•
– there may be more space than you need.
You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear.

•
Answers without working may not gain full credit.
Values from statistical tables should be quoted in full. If a calculator is used instead of

•Information
tables the value should be given to an equivalent degree of accuracy.
Inexact answers should be given to three significant figures unless otherwise stated.

•• A booklet ‘Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables’ is provided.

•
The total mark for this part of the examination is 40. There are 4 questions.
The marks for each question are shown in brackets
– use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
Advice
•• Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.

Task P 19 16 16 12 8 17 12 12 5

Task Q 17 11 14 7 6 18 15 11 10

(a) Calculate Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for the scores awarded for the
tasks P and Q.
(4)
(b) Test, at the 1% level of significance, whether or not there is evidence for a positive
correlation between the ranks of scores for tasks P and Q.
You should state your hypotheses and critical value clearly.
(4)
The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for P and R is 0.290 and
for Q and R is 0.795
The manager of Donala wishes to reduce the number of tasks given to job applicants
from three to two.
(c) Giving a reason for your answer, state which 2 tasks you would recommend the

3. Pat is investigating the relationship between the height of professional tennis players
and the speed of their serve. Data from 9 randomly selected professional male tennis
players were collected. The variables recorded were the height of each player, h metres,

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
and the maximum speed of their serve, v km/h.
Pat summarised these data as follows

 h  17.63     v  2174.9     v 2
 526 407.8    S hh = 0.0487    S hv = 5.1376

(a) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient between h and v

(2)
(b) Explain whether the answer to part (a) is consistent with a linear model for
these data.
(1)
(c) Find the equation of the regression line of v on h in the form v  a  bh
where a and b are to be given to one decimal place.
(3)
Pat calculated the sum of the residuals for the 9 tennis players as 1.04
(d) Without doing a calculation, explain how you know Pat has made a mistake.
(1)
Pat made one mistake in the calculation. For the tennis player of height 1.96 m Pat
misread the residual as 2.27
(e) Find the maximum speed of serve, in km/h, for the tennis player of height 1.96 m
