READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST
Write your name and civics class on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.
Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.
The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together, with the cover page in front.
This document consists of 6 printed pages.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST
Write your name and civics class on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.
Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.
The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together, with the cover page in front.

left-handed players in the team. In a particular practice, 4 players are chosen to play doubles.

decimal places. [2]

11 The past records of a supermarket show that the mean amount spent per customer was $59 with standard deviation $8. The supermarket’s management suspects that the mean amount spent per customer has decreased. A random sample of 8 customers was taken and the amount spent per customer , $x, was recorded. The following result was obtained.
432x =∑
Stating a necessary assumption about the population, test the supermarket’s management’s suspicion at the 5% significance level. [6]
To encourage customers to spend more at the supermarket, the management initiated a
promotional campaign whereby each customer will receive a voucher which can be used to redeem products at the supermarket. A week after the start of the campaign, the manager of the supermarket took a sample of 9 customers and the amount spent per customer, $y, is summarised by
2( 70) 72, ( 70) 1234y y− = − − =∑ ∑ .
The actual mean amount spent per customer is $ µ . In a test at the 5% level of significance,
the hypotheses are:
27
Null hypothesis : 0µ µ=
Alternative hypothesis : 0µ µ≠ .
Given that the null hypothesis is rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis, find the set
of possible values of 0µ .
