Section 1[ALGEBRA AND LOGIC GATES]: Show all necessary calculations.
1. Consider the following list of numbers. Your job is to erase as few of these numbers as possible such that the remaining numbers appear in increasing order. For example, erasing everything except the first two numbers laves an increasing sequence; erasing everything except for the first, third, sixth and eighth numbers does the same. [2]
9 44 32 12 7 42 34 92 35 37 41 8 20 27 83 64 61 28 39 93 29 17 13 14 55 21 66 72 23 73 99 1 2 88 77 5 65 83 84 62 5 11 74 68 76 78 67 75 69 70 22 71 24 25 26
2. Solve the above exercise [1], such that the remaining numbers are in decreasing order [2]
3. Solve the following simultaneous equations for x_1,x_2,x_3,and x_4
E_1: x_1+x_2+0 +3x_4=4
E_2: x_1+x_2-x_3 +x_4=1
〖 E〗_3: 3x_1-x_2-x_3 +〖2x〗_4=-3
〖 E〗_4: – x_1+〖2x〗_2+3x_3-x_4=4
[4]
4. A foundation student bought a mobile phone and smart watch for a total of £1,250, excluding VAT (value added tax), paying 3 times as much for the mobile phone
as for the smart watch.
Write an expression to show the total cost in terms of the cost of the smart watch. [2]
What was the cost of each item? [2]
Calculate the VAT on the mobile phone, assuming a VAT rate of 14% [2]
5. Find the value of k to satisfy the equation referring to the discharge of water from a tank
t_1-t_2=2A/a √((1+k)/2g) (√(h_1 )-√(h_2 ))
given that t_2=0.45,t_1=2.6,A=15.6,a=12.57/144 ,g=32.2,h_1=36 and h_2=25 [2]
6. Construct a chart giving values of u and v to satisfy the equation 1.2v+0.64u=0.85 the range of u being 5 to 100.(Use Excel) [2]
7. Construct a chart giving values of u and v to satisfy the equation 2u+7v=52 the range of v being 2 to 50. (Use Excel) [2]
8. Consider the following:
An online trading company wants to offer discounts to new customers. The company has recently emailed discount code to the customers. New customer must have a discount code to be eligible but returning customer are not eligible for a discount.
Let
A = Returning Customer
B = Discount Code
(a) Draw a truth table to represent when a customer has a discount. [2]
(b) From your truth table in (a) produce a Boolean expression to represent discounted customer (Q) for the trading company. [2]
Section 2[Statistics]
9. The data below shows the monthly rent for 24 students: 1500, 1350, 350, 1200, 850, 900, 1500, 1150, 1500, 900, 1400, 1100, 1250, 600,610, 960, 890, 1325, 900, 800, 2550, 495, 1200, 690.
(a) Create a relative frequency distribution table using 7 classes
(b) Use your table in (a) to produce a histogram to represent your data [3]
10. The following is a frequency table showing the ages of members of a symphony orchestra for young adults.
Age Frequency
15 2
16 5
17 11
18 9
19 14
20 13
21 10
22 13
Find the sample mean and median of the ages of the 77 members of the symphony. [3]
Section 3 [Flowchart and Algorithm Development]
11. Given the following list of steps in the admission process:
Search for a school
Prepare for the admission test and write test
Did you pass the exam?
Submit necessary documents and get admission
End
Are seats available?
Start
Is there an admission test?
Re-arrange the above steps in the correct order and use MS Visio to draw a flowchart for the admission process. [5]
12. Construct an algorithm that has as input an integer n≥1,n+1 points and x_0,x_1,⋯x_n and a point x and which produces as output the product
P=(x-x_0 )(x-x_1 )⋯(x-x_n ) [5]
