You will have 1 hour 30 minutes to complete both papers. Instructions  Use black ink or black ball‑point pen. Pencil should only be used for drawing.  Fill in the boxes at the top of this page.  Answer all questions.  You must answer each question in the space provided for that question. If you require extra space for your answer(s), use the lined pages at the end of this book. Write the question number against your answer(s).  Do not write outside the box around each page or on blank pages.  Show all necessary working; otherwise marks for method may be lost.  Do all rough work in this book. Cross through any work that you do not want to be marked. Information  The marks for questions are shown in brackets.  The maximum mark for this paper is 40. Advice  Unless stated otherwise, you may quote formulae, without proof, from the booklet.  You do not necessarily need to use all the space provided.

A random sample of 30 people in the town is taken and each person is asked if they use the local supermarket. The manager of the supermarket claims that 35% of the people in the town use the local supermarket. The random sample is used to conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance with the hypotheses box H0: p = 0.35 H1: p  0.35 Show that the probability that a Type I error is made is 0.0356, correct to four decimal places. [4 marks] Turn over U 5 Rebekah is investigating the distances, X light years, between the Earth and visible stars in the night sky. She determines the distance between the Earth and a star for a random sample of 100 visible stars. The summarised results are as follows:  x = 35 522 and  x 2 = 5 (a) Calculate a 97% confidence interval for the population mean of X, giving your values to the nearest light year. box [5 marks]
