7(iii)
[2m]
Equation of the regression line of x on t is
x = 120.743 – 12.6179t
i.e. x = 121 − 12.6t (to 3 s.f.)
The gradient 12.6 means that the estimated decrease in the concentration of drug in the bloodstream is 12.6 micrograms per litre for every 1 hour increase in time.
7(iv)
[2m]
Using the equation of the line in (iii), when x = 50, t = 5.61,
Estimated time is 5.61 hours.
The estimate is not reliable as the scatter diagram in (i) shows that a curve is a better fit for the data points, so a linear model is not suitable.
8(i) [1m]
The probability of concluding that the population mean GPA score is more than 2.9, when it is actually 2.9, is 0.1.
8(ii)
[6m]
Note: The t-test should be used, because the sample size is small, and the population variance is unknown.
To test H0 : μ = 2.9 vs H1 : μ > 2.9
Perform a 1 tail t-test at 10% level of significance. Under H0 , 0 ~ ( 1) / X T t n S n where 0= 2.9, x = 3.12, s= 0.72821, n = 15
Using a t-test, p-value = 0.131 (3 s.f.)
Since p-value = 0.131 > 0.1, we do not reject H0 and conclude that there is insufficient
evidence at the 10% level of significance that the population mean GPA score is more than 2.9.
Assumption is that the GPA scores of the student population follow a normal distribution.

The population is first divided into 4 strata according to 4 levels – Sec 1 to 4. Random samples, of sample sizes proportional to the relative sizes of the strata, are then drawn separately and independently (by using simple random sampling) from each stratum (level).
(iii)
Stratified sampling is a better sampling method compared to simple random sampling because it is likely to give good representative samples of the population, i.e. students from each stratum (level or gender) are well represented as in the population.
