Maths Summer Y13
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Small angle approximation questions | If they ask you to use a specific one, use that |
| Lost working marks to dividing by cos | Factorise instead |
| Redo Q8 probably | Remember the sec identity exists |
| Correct usage of A given B' when given value in Q | Use the formula to help get info from it |
| How to show not mutually exclusive | P(AnB) = 0.2 0.2 =/= 0 |
| Events A and B in earlier part of Q now have event C added | All the probabilities from before are the same (in total). i.e. the regions enclosed by A and B will still be 0.9, so tells us the section of C not in A and B is the remainder of their union Do Q10c again. P(C) = 0.35 |
| Hypothesis test | Use the word 'suggest' |
| 'probability H0 is incorrectly rejected' | BOTH tails (using critical values) |
| Test statistic mean and standard deviation | Can be worked out with sigma(x) and n. The sigma for the normal test is the s/sqrt(n), where s is calculated from the sigmax and sigmax^2 |
| Q14 - do it again (answers: 6/2/26) | Say what mu is - population vs sample mean important. mu for hypotheses is population Don't need to standardise |
| Employment figures for large data set | Specifically mention 'the large data set'. Only 16 - 64, not 70 yr olds |
| 'Solve' | Not coordinates |
| 'Explain why this expression has no solutions' | Either: Sketch graphs to show no intersect. Otherwise just reasoning - gradient of straight line smaller than gradient of positive part of modulus graph etc etc Or the mathematical working from 2/2/26 |
| Rationalising | Useful tool to remember |
| Graph labelling | y intercept |
| Detailed reasoning | Factorise to get the roots don't just skip it |
| Area between 2 lines | Careful to remove bottom from top |
| Quotient rule | Careful not to add them |
| Read Q defining bounds of x | |
| Normal not tangent | |
| Q11a - do it again | Check pictures 2/2/26. Trying to remove the r^2 to get to the answer so rewrite as sqrt(r^4) For part b, more working between step 1 and step 2 needed rlly |
| Finding integer value of x for which matrix (4/1/x) magnitude is an integer | All squared = 17 + x^2 17 + x^2 = n^2 n^2 - x^2 = 17 (n-x)(n+x) = 17 n-x = 1 and n+x = 17 AND n-x = -1 and n+x = -17 So x = +- 8 |
| Don't get acceleration direction wrong, and check if Q says velocity changes partway through |
