Using GC graph, 29.42 < n < 27.756

Hence, greatest value of n is 27

5 Sampling Methods
No.
Assessment Objectives Solution Feedback
The boys and girls selected will be proportional to the relative
size of the stratum. Therefore 10 girls and 11 boys will be
selected using simple random sampling.

An advantage is the delegation is representative of the student
population

Quota sampling. An advantage is that it is easier to carry out.

Alternative
Using GC, the 05 . 0 0307 . 0 < = value p


Hence, we reject H
0
and conclude that at 5% significance
level, there is insufficient evidence to justify that the mass
of the gold coins produced by the manufacturer is not less
than 6g.

It means that there is a 0.05 probability of wrongly
concluding that the mean mass of the gold coin is less
than 6g when in fact it is 6g.
P(wrongly rejecting H

treatment time, but less rapidly with increasing time
(increase at a decreasing rate).

(iii) The scatter diagram in (i) indicates that the model
y

= a + bx is appropriate since y increases less rapidly with
increasing x and in addition since the value of r is closer to
1 for y
2

(iv) y

y = 282.6683
x = 240 is outside the range of value in the sample, so the
