1 a 0.2 + y + 0.3 + 0.35 = 1
y = 1 − 0.85 = 0.15
b P(B and M) = 0.15

P(B) × P(M) = (0.2 + 0.15) × (0.3 + 0.15) = 0.35 × 0.45 = 0.1575
P(B and M) ≠ P(B) × P(M), so 'likes bananas' and 'likes mangoes' are not independent events.

d 1 falls into the critical region, therefore there is evidence to support the claim.

5 b This value of h is a long way from the range of the experimental data: hence the extrapolation is
excessive and the predicted value of e would be too unreliable.
c It is not sensible. The regression line predicts a value of e given h, not the other way round.

a For the whole system:

F = 2630 – 660 − 320 = 1650
m = 1500 + 700 = 2200
1650 = 2200a
The acceleration of the car is 0.75 m s−2
b For the trailer:

F = T – 320, m = 700, a = 0.75
T – 320 = 700 × 0.75 = 525
T = 525 + 320
The tension in the tow-rope is 845 N.
c Since the tow-rope is inextensible, the acceleration of each part of the system is identical and the
tension in it is constant throughout.

a For the whole system:

b For the trailer:

The ball is projected at a speed of 24.5 m s−1

The ball reaches a height of 30.6 m above P.

c s = 15, u = 24.5, a = −9.8, t = ?
