This text is written with consideration for the broad range of abilities of students attempting this course. All exercises are graded from easy to more difficult. It is not expected that every question in each exercise should be attempted, rather that the teachers use their professional judgement on the number of questions that particular students attempt. Teachers need to be aware that in order to complete the course in the required amount of time it is necessary to average approximately two weeks per chapter. The first chapter on modelling is not intended to be completed as a distinct chapter but rather that it should be integrated into the whole of the course. Each chapter has a diagnostic test in multiple choice format with each question linked to the appropriate exercise in the chapter. There are four review exercises at the end of each chapter. It is suggested that two of these are completed at the conclusion of the chapter and that the other two are completed throughout the course as revision. There are three cumulative reviews that may be used for revision and consolidation. It is intended that computers and graphics calculators are used to enhance the learning process. There are literacy sections at the end of each chapter along with research activities throughout the text. The text has been written by experienced New South Wales mathematics teachers and adheres closely to the syllabus outcomes as presented in its final form. The content as presented in the text provides the learning experiences needed by students to be successful in the course. The students are provided with comprehensive worked examples and structured exercises and reviews that consolidate the knowledge of students challenged by the course and extend competent students. As a text this stand-alone resource enables teachers to confidently and completely teach the course. The authors wish to acknowledge that this course introduced in 2000 contains interesting and challenging material for teachers and students. We trust that you will find the text an invaluable resource in the successful implementation of the General Mathematics course.

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING (Chapter 1)
It is not intended that this chapter be treated as a separate unit of work. Rather it is intended to be an introduction to the process of mathematical modelling which may be referred to throughout the course.

Real world problem
Make assumptions
Formulate mathematical problem
Verify the model
Interpret the solution
Solve the mathematical problem
Produce report, explain predict, etc.
Modelling is the basic process by which mathematics is applied to real life problems. The process, as shown in the flow chart, involves the following steps: Take a real world problem, analyse it, simplify it, make assumptions in order to express the mathematical aspects of the problem in terms of variables, graphs, tables, diagrams etc. We then use the skills, processes and content of mathematics to find solutions to the mathematical problem. These solutions need to be interpreted in terms of the real problem and the adequacy of them verified, i.e., are they useful in terms of the context of the problem, or do we need to modify the model?
EXAMPLE
1
How can we calculate the number of tiles needed to tile the floor of a room?
100
95
Step 1:
Step 2:
(Analyse, make assumptions.) The factors which are relevant to the solution of this problem are the area of the floor and the area of a tile. To investigate this problem we will assume that the floor is a rectangle, 2000 £ 1550 mm say, and that the tiles are 300 £ 300 mm, a common size for ceramic floor tiles. (Formulate a mathematical problem.) We will assume that the number of tiles can be found by dividing the area of the floor by the area of one tile.

Step 3:
(Obtain the mathematical solutions of the problem.) Area of floor = 2100 £ 1550 = 3 255 000 mm2
95
75
Area of a tile = 300 £ 300 = 90 000 mm2
3 255 000 90 000 = 36:166::::
) number of tiles needed =
(Interpret and relate the solution to the real problem.) Since we can only buy whole tiles, we need 37 tiles. If we now relate our mathematical solution back to the real problem and check how the tiles will be laid, by drawing a diagram we can see that 37 tiles will be sufficient if the two remaining tiles are cut and the offcuts of these tiles are also cut.
0
Step 5:
2100 mm 5 tiles
Step 4:
7 tiles
(Evaluate and modify, if necessary, the model used.) It is not practical to use tiles which have been cut more than once - imagine what the end result would look like if all the small pieces were put next to each other, especially if the tiles have a pattern!
The model we have used (the number of tiles can be found by dividing the area of the floor by the area of one tile) is not satisfactory from a practical view-point. Note that the mathematics in step 3 is perfectly correct; it is the model of the real problem that we have used which needs to be modified. We will now go back to step 2 and change our model: Step 2:
Calculate the number of tiles by multiplying the number of full tiles needed to cover the length of the floor by the number of full tiles needed to cover the width of the floor.
Step 3:
Using the diagram in step 4 above, Number of tiles needed = 7 £ 6 = 42:
Step 4:
The 42 tiles could be laid in 5 rows of 7 complete tiles with each of the 7 tiles in the 6th row being cut to fit the remaining space.
Step 5:
If the floor was 2150 £ 1550 mm then the number of tiles needed = 8 £ 6 = 48: Using a diagram the answer would seem to be correct. By checking the method with different sized rectangular floors our model appears to be satisfactory.

100
(Report, explain, predict.) We first calculated the number of tiles needed to cover a rectangular floor by dividing the area of the floor by the area of one tile. In general this method will not work as it requires using different sized offcuts to completely cover the floor. Note however that this method is satisfactory if the dimensions of the floor are multiples of the dimensions of the tiles, for example if the floor was 2100 £ 1500 mm. A method which seems to work for all cases is to multiply the number of tiles needed to cover the length of the room by the number of tiles needed to cover the width of the room.

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING (Chapter 1)
Note: The value of our model depends heavily on the assumptions and simplifications we made at step 1. The model may need to be modified if we further consider factors such as: what if the floor is not a rectangle, what if the tiles are not square, should we allow for the gap left between tiles, are the tiles to be laid in a particular pattern, should we allow for breakage, etc.?

EXAMPLE How long does it take a train to pass through a tunnel? Model 1 (Arithmetic) Step 1:
(Analyse, make assumptions.) The factors which affect the time taken are the length of the tunnel and the length and speed of the train. Assume the tunnel is 100 m long and the train is 80 m long and travelling at 60 km/h.
Step 2:
(Formulate a mathematical problem.) We are required to find how long it is from the time that the front of the train enters the tunnel until the rear of the train leaves the tunnel. The distance travelled by the train in this time is 100+ 80 = 180 m. Its speed is 60 km/h.
Step 3:
(Obtain the mathematical solutions.)
Time =
distance : speed
Since the distance is in metres then we need to convert the speed to metres/second. Speed = 60 km/h 60 £ 1000 = m/s 60 £ 60 = 16:6_ m/s.
180 seconds 16:6_ = 10:8 seconds.
Time taken =
Step 4:
(Interpret the solution.) For a train of length 80 m travelling at 60 km/h, the time it takes to pass through a tunnel of length 100 m is 10:8 seconds.
Step 5:
(Evaluate the model.) The model finds a satisfactory solution for this particular case, but it would obviously be of benefit if we had a model which would provide solutions for other cases.

Step 4:
(Interpret the solution.) We have found a general formula to find the time taken by a train to pass through a tunnel, given the length of the tunnel and the length and speed of the train.
Step 5:
(Evaluate the model.) Check the solution found in Model 1 by substitution into our formula: 18(100 + 80) time = = 10:8 seconds. 5 £ 60
Step 6:
(Report, explain, predict.) To solve this problem we first investigated a particular case (Model 1). We were then able to use this model to help us find a general (algebraic) solution of the problem. A spreadsheet could now be used to find the times for varying values of the lengths and the speed.
EXAMPLE How much does it cost to run a car?
Step 1:
(Analyse, make assumptions.) We need firstly to make a list of all the costs to be considered. Let us suppose we consider the following items: registration, insurance, loan interest, depreciation, petrol, maintenance and repairs, tyres. In order to cost these items let us make the question more specific: Find the average weekly cost to run a car which is bought for $16 000 using a loan of $10 000. We will assume that the loan interest rate is 13:95% p.a., the annual depreciation rate for this model car is 18%, the car travels 15 000 km per year, the petrol consumption is 11:2 L/100 km, it needs a set of 5 new tyres every 30 000 km. By investigation we find out that the average cost of a service and repairs every 10 000 km is $240, petrol costs 76:4 c/L, tyres cost $95 each, registration is $610 and insurance is $650.
Step 2:
(Formulate a mathematical problem.) We will now use the above information to calculate the total cost for one year of all the above individual items and hence find the average weekly cost.

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING (Chapter 1)
Step 3:
(Obtain the mathematical solution.) Loan interest = 13:95% of $10 000 = $1395 Depreciation = 18% of $16 000 = $2880
95
75
Petrol =
15 000 £ 11:2 £ $0:764 = $1283:52 100
15 000 £ $240 = $360 10 000 15 000 Tyres = £ $95 £ 5 = $237:50 30 000 Registration = $610 Insurance = $650 Total annual cost = $7416:02 $7416:02 = $142:62 Average weekly cost = 52
25
Maintenance and repairs =

0
Step 4:
(Interpret the solution.) This is the average weekly running cost of a car based on the above assumptions.
Step 5:
(Evaluate the model.) This model gives the average weekly running cost for the first year of ownership. The amount of loan interest paid each year will depend on whether the interest is a flat or reducible rate and the amount of depreciation will vary as the car gets older.
Step 6:
(Report, explain, predict.) The model appears to take into account most of the variables involved in the solution of this problem. However the result is only as accurate as the assumptions made. We could refine our solution by investigating further interest rates, the depreciation rates for different models of cars, petrol consumption, insurance -under 25/over 25 years of age, no claim bonuses, how maintenance and repair costs vary with age of the car, etc.
EXAMPLE
4
A farmer has 100 m of fencing and wants to fence off a corner of an existing rectangular field. What is the maximum area she can enclose?
Step 1:
(Analyse, make assumptions.) Assume the area fenced off is rectangular. 100
Step 2: existing fence (100 - x) m xm
(Formulate a mathematical problem.)
95
If we let the length of the rectangle be x metres, then the width will be (100 ¡ x) metres.
75
Hence the area of the rectangular corner is A = x(100 ¡ x):
25
5
We need to find the maximum value of A.

Step 4:
(Interpret the solution.) The maximum area which can be enclosed is a square of area 2500 m2 :
Step 5:
(Evaluate the model.) If the corner does not have to be rectangular then it may be possible to enclose a larger area by adding 3, 4, 5 ... sides, or a circular arc, to the existing corner.
Step 6:
(Report, explain, predict.) If the area to be enclosed is a rectangle, using the existing fence for two of the sides, then the maximum area occurs when the length and width are equal, i.e., the corner is a square. We have not investigated whether it is possible, or practical, to enclose a larger area by constructing other shapes.
Note:
It may not always be clear to which step of the process a statement belongs, however we will not overly concern ourselves with this as it is the total process through which models are created and modified that is important.

3 A building supplies company offers the following successive discounts, in any order you request them, on purchases at their store: 15% for tradesmen, 8% for orders over $1000 and 5% for paying cash. Bill the builder buys over $1000 worth of materials and is prepared to pay cash for them. In what order should Bill request the discounts so that he will pay the least amount for his materials? 4 Elizabeth is about to retire from work. She has been paying into a superannuation fund and must decide whether to take a once only lump sum of $300 000 or a pension of $600 per week for the rest of her life. What would you advise her to do? 5 A new car is bought for $25 000 and is sold 8 years later for $5000. What would have been the value of the car after 1, 2, 3, .... 7 years? Predict its value after 9, 10, .... years. 6 $10 000 is invested in an account which pays 8% p.a. interest. How much will the investment be worth in 4 years’ time? 7 Jenny has noticed that the price of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is much cheaper than petrol and wonders whether she should convert her car to run on LPG. What would you advise her to do? 8 Is it better to rent accommodation or to buy your own home? 9 Is it better to lease or buy a car? 10 George has 18 metres of edging and wants to make a rectangular vegetable garden in his back yard using an existing fence as one side. What dimensions will give the greatest area of garden and what is this maximum area? 11 Suniti has a sheet of cardboard which is 25 cm by 18 cm. She cuts four squares of equal size, one from each corner, and folds up the edges to make an open rectangular shaped container. What is the largest container she can make? (i.e., What is the maximum volume of the container?) 12 A can manufacturer wants to make a can to hold 375 mL of vegetable juice. What dimensions will need the least amount of sheet metal? 13 How many days would it take for Lake Eyre to dry out? 14 How many cats are there in Australia? Scheduling In scheduling problems we usually have a series of tasks to do on a fixed number of “machines” and our problem is to find the best order in which to do them so that the time taken to complete all tasks is a minimum. 100
15 An office has two photocopying machines and receives jobs which will take 7, 9, 5, 10, 11, 4, 4, 7, 10, 9, 10, 4, 7, 10, 11, 4, 5, 7 minutes each. In what order should the jobs be done so that they take the minimum possible time?
95
75
Strategies to try: a Put the jobs on the first available machine in the order in which they were received. b Rearrange the jobs in order from longest to shortest and do the longest jobs first on the first available machine. c Rearrange the jobs in order and do the shortest jobs first on the first available machine.

Can you find a better strategy for this problem? What is the minimum time needed to complete these tasks? 16 Two typists are given jobs which will take 20, 30, 30, 25, 15, 10, 25, 20, 35, 30, 20, 25, 20, 15, 15 minutes each. What is the shortest time in which the jobs can be completed? How long will it take if a third typist is made available to help? Bin Packing In these types of problems we are given a series of tasks to do and our problem is to find the best order in which to fill the “bins” so that the number of “bins” needed to complete all the tasks is a minimum. 17 What is the mininum number of 1:4 Mb floppy discs needed to store files of the following sizes: 0:6, 0:3, 0:4, 0:2, 0:2, 0:3, 0:4, 0:1, 0:3, 0:5, 0:6, 0:4 Mb? In this problem our “bins” are floppy discs of size 1:4 Mb. We need to find the best order in which to store the files so that the number of discs needed is a minimum. Strategies to try: a Fill each disc with files in the order in which they are received, i.e., load the files onto the first disc in the order in which they are received. When the next file will not fit onto the disc, start a new disc. For example: disc 1: 0:6, 0:3, 0:4 (cumulative total = 1:3 Mb). The next file (0:2 Mb) will not fit on this disc so start disc 2. Disc 2: 0:2, 0:2, etc. b Since the total size of the files is 4:2 Mb then it would seem reasonable to assume that the number of discs needed would be three (1:4 Mb £ 3 = 4:2 Mb) or four, depending on the sizes of the files. Try starting with three discs and load files, in the order in which they are received, onto the first disc with enough space available. c Try starting with three discs and load the largest files first onto the first disc with enough space available. Try your own strategies. 18 Copper hot water pipe was cut into 1 metre lengths. What is the least number of 1 m lengths a plumber will need to use to complete jobs which require the following lengths of pipe to be cut: 600, 450, 300, 280, 850, 250, 325, 195, 560, 240 millimetres?

There are many occasions when an exact answer is not necessary or practical. For example,

²
If 61 348 people attended a football game, an approximation of 61 000 would be satisfactory for most purposes.
²
If a piece of timber 4 m long has to be cut into 3 equal pieces, then by calculation, each piece should be 1:33333::: m long. It is impossible to cut the timber to this degree of accuracy so we would approximate by making each piece 1:33 m or 1:333 m.
²
If the families of the 24 students in your class have a total of 55 children then the average number of children per family is 55 ¥ 24 = 2:291666... An approximate answer of 2.3 children per family would be more sensible.

b
Is 483 closer to 400 or 500?
a 73 is closer to 70 than 80, i.e., 73 + 70, rounded to the nearest 10. b 483 is closer to 500 than 400, i.e., 483 + 500, rounded to the nearest 100. c 3:5 is midway between 3 and 4. By convention we round up, hence 3:5 + 4, rounded to the nearest whole number. RULES FOR ROUNDING
To approximate numbers by rounding off, use the following: ² ²
If the digit after the one being rounded off is less than 5 then we round down. If the digit after the one being rounded off is 5 or more then we round up.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURE ROUNDING
The significant figures in a number are the important or meaningful figures. A crowd of 61 348 is approximated to 61 000 to indicate that only the first 2 figures (digits) are important. It is impossible to cut a piece of timber to a length of 1:333 333::::: m. After the 4th figure, the digits are completely meaningless in this case.

The first significant figure in a number is the first non zero digit starting from the left. a i The first non-zero digit is 2 which is in the 100 000’s column. Hence, rounding off, 293 568 + 300 000 to 1 significant figure (or to the nearest 100 000, in this case).
Fill in the remaining places with zeros.
ii The second significant figure is 9 which is in the 10 000’s column. Hence, rounding off, 293 568 + 290 000 to 2 significant figures (or to the nearest 10 000, in this case). iii The third significant figure is 3 which is in the 1000’s column. Hence, rounding off, 293 568 + 294 000 to 3 significant figures (or to the nearest 1000, in this case). b
i The first non-zero digit is 7 which is in the second column after the decimal point. Hence, rounding off, 0:07604 + 0:08 to 1 significant figure (or to the nearest hundredth, in this case). ii The second significant figure is 6 which is in the third column after the decimal point. Hence, rounding off, 0:07604 + 0:076 to 2 significant figures (or to the nearest thousandth, in this case). iii The third significant figure is 0 which is in the fourth column after the decimal point.

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
Scientific (or standard) notation is a convenient way of writing very large and very small numbers. To express a number in scientific notation it is written as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10, i.e., it is put in the form A £ 10n where A lies between 1 and 10.

Here is a time-saving method for writing numbers in scientific notation and vice versa:
EXAMPLE
6
a 138 000
Write in scientific notation a
b 0:000 486
Move the decimal point so that it is positioned between the first and second digits. (This always produces a number between 1 and 10.) In this case we get 1.38000 Count the number of places back to the original position of the decimal point in the number: 1:38000
Number of places = 5 to the right = +5.
This becomes the power of 10, i.e., 138000 = 1:38000 £ 105 = 1:38 £ 105 (we now leave off the zeros) Move the decimal point so that it is positioned between the first and second digits. In this case we get 4.86 Count the number of places back to the original position of the decimal point in the number:
b
00004:86
Number of places = 4 to the left = ¡4
This becomes the power of 10, i.e., 0:000 486 = 4:86 £ 10¡4 100

The rod in question 2 of Exercise 2E above has been measured to the nearest centimetre because this is the smallest unit on the ruler, i.e., the length is closer to 14 cm than to 13 cm or 15 cm. The greatest possible error is 0.5 cm. This is half of the smallest scale (centimetres) on the ruler. The actual length will lie between 13.5 cm and 14.5 cm, i.e., between (14 ¡ 0:5) cm and (14 + 0:5) cm. To obtain a more accurate measurement we would need to use a more accurate ruler, i.e., one which has smaller units on it. The smallest unit on a measuring instrument is called the limit of reading of the instrument. The greatest possible error in measuring a quantity (sometimes called the absolute error) is equal to half the limit of reading. The smallest and largest values between which the actual measurement lies are called the lower and upper limits of the true measurement.

EXAMPLE The a b c

length and breadth of a rectangle were measured to be 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle using these measurements. Find the lower and upper limits of its true perimeter. Hence find the maximum error in the answer to a.
a Using the given measurements, perimeter = 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 cm = 28 cm b The greatest possible error of each measurement is 0.5 cm. Hence the length lies between 7.5 cm and 8.5 cm and the breadth lies between 5.5 cm and 6.5 cm. Lower limit of perimeter = 7:5 + 7:5 + 5:5 + 5:5 cm = 26 cm Upper limit of perimeter = 8:5 + 8:5 + 6:5 + 6:5 cm = 30 cm c Hence, the apparent perimeter has a maximum error = 28 cm ¡ 26 cm (or 30 cm ¡ 28 cm) = 2 cm Note that this is the sum of the greatest possible errors of the original measurements.

RATES A rate is a comparison between quantities of different kinds.
For example, we may compare distance travelled with petrol used, amount of fertiliser needed with area of land, amount of pay with time worked etc. The comparison between quantities is made by dividing one quantity by the other, in the required order. The rate has then been expressed in the form ‘the first quantity per unit of the second quantity’.

This is the amount of petrol consumed per unit of distance travelled, i.e., the car used 0.098 litres of petrol for every one kilometre travelled.

The earning of money from working is the basis of a person’s income in our society. Without an income a person is unable to satisfy their basic needs. There are many ways of receiving money for work done. Most people work for an employer who pays them for the work done. Earnings based on hours worked are called wages. Earnings that are a fixed amount regardless of the number of hours spent working are called salaries. This section deals with salary and wage payments. A salary is an income that is usually stated as an amount per annum, although the salary may be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. People who are paid salaries include nurses, government employees, teachers and other professionals.
per annum means per year.
Wages are based on an hourly rate for a certain number of hours per fortnight. Wages are usually paid on a fortnightly basis. People who are paid wages include factory workers, shop assistants, building workers, mechanics and other workers. In converting from yearly salaries to monthly, fortnightly and weekly amounts the following are used: 1 year = 365 days = 12 months = 52 weeks = 26 fortnights
EXAMPLE
Fortnightly = weekly ´ 2.

Jenny’s salary is $31 200 per annum. Express this salary as an amount a monthly b weekly c fortnightly

= $31 200 ¥ 12 = $2600

BONUS AND HOLIDAY LOADING
0
Employees sometimes get extra payments in addition to their normal wages. A bonus is a gift/incentive for employees who have worked hard over a period of time. Employers use a bonus to encourage the employees to work even harder! Holiday loading is an increase in an employee’s pay whilst on holidays. The holiday loading is a fixed percentage of the employees normal pay. It is usually at a rate of 17¡¡¡ %.

SUPERANNUATION
The employer’s superannuation contribution is not a deduction as it is paid directly to the superannuation fund as an extra payment above the employee’s income. Any superannuation contribution made by the employee is a deduction. It is also a tax deduction.

BUDGETING
A budget is a financial plan for the future which estimates future expenses and income and calculates a projected surplus or deficit of money. A budget enables a person to plan for holidays or other expensive activities like weddings etc. There are five main steps to follow in setting up a budget. 1 Decide whether the budget will be weekly, fortnightly, monthly or annual. 2 Estimate income from all possible sources. 3 Estimate all expenses. Plan for emergencies. 4 Calculate the surplus, hopefully, or the deficit. 5 Revise the budget if there is a deficit or if you want a greater surplus. Remember fixed expenses like rent, insurance etc cannot be altered, but expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment, can be altered.

For centuries there has always existed a fascination for numbers and patterns. 2, 4, 6, 8, ...... is an example of a number pattern or number sequence, where the dots ...... show that the pattern continues indefinitely.
25
5
Each of the numbers in the pattern is called a term.
0
In the case of 2, 4, 6, 8, ...... the first term is 2, the second term is 4, and so on. Number patterns are formed in many ways. Some of them are formed by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing by a fixed number.
EXAMPLE
1
Describe each of these patterns in words and write the next three terms of the number patterns. a d
5, 7, 9, 11, ..... 64, 32, 16, 8, .....
b
32, 29, 26, 23, .....,
c
1 1 9, 3,
1, 3, .....,
a This pattern is formed by starting with 5 and adding 2 to each number to get the next number. The next three terms are 13, 15, 17. b This pattern is formed by starting with 32 and subtracting 3 from the previous term. The next three terms are 20, 17, 14. c This pattern is formed by starting with terms are 9, 27, 81.

and multiplying each term by 3. The next three
d This pattern is formed by starting with 64 and dividing the terms by 2. The next three terms are 4, 2, 1.

SUBSTITUTION
When the pronumeral x is replaced by a number in an expression like 3x¡5 the answer is another number.
For example, if x = 2, then
3x ¡ 5 = 3(2) ¡ 5 =6¡5 =1
100
When substituting, always place the substituted value within brackets.
95
75
25
and we say that 2 was substituted for x, and the value of the expression is 1 when x = 2.

ONE STEP EQUATIONS An algebraic equation has two algebraic expressions that are equal to each other.
The simplest are called one step equations as it takes one step to solve them. To solve an equation you can
²
add the same number to both sides of the equation
²
subtract the same number from both sides of the equation
²
multiply each side of the equation by the same number.
²
divide each side of the equation by the same number.
The aim of solving an equation is to find the value of the pronumeral. This is done by using one or more of the operations described.
EXAMPLE
1
Solve these equations
a x + 9 = 17
100
b p ¡ 12 = 30
95
a
p ¡ 12 = 30 p ¡ 12 + 12 = 30 + 12 p = 42
x + 9 = 17 x + 9 ¡ 9 = 17 ¡ 9 x=8
b
Check: If x = 8, x + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17 X
Check: If p = 42, p ¡ 12 = 42 ¡ 12 = 30 X

TWO STEP EQUATIONS
The techniques needed to solve two step equations are the same as for one step equations except two techniques need to be applied. Always add or subtract first to get the pronumeral on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other side. Then multiply or divide to find the answer.
EXAMPLE

FURTHER EQUATIONS
5
When solving equations with the pronumerals on both sides it may be necessary to not only add and subtract numbers from both sides, but, to add and subtract pronumerals from both sides. The first step is to add or subtract the pronumerals to move them to one side. It does not matter which side. Next add or subtract to move the numbers to the other side of the equation. Then solve as normal by multiplying or dividing.

INTRODUCTION
75
Statistics refers to the science of collecting facts and information. The information is organised into a form which can easily be analysed and from which conclusions and predictions can be accurately made.
25
The facts or pieces of information collected are called data. Data may be collected by counting, measuring and asking questions.

Statistics are used by governments and businesses to make informed decisions on the provision of services such as health, transport and commerce. Statistics are used by manufacturers for quality control and in medical research to test new drugs. Market research surveys are used to gauge consumer preferences of goods and services. Information collected over many years is used to make weather forecasts. The process of statistical inquiry includes the following steps: ² ² ² ² ² ²
posing questions collecting data organising data summarising and displaying data analysing data and drawing conclusions writing a report.
In this chapter we will investigate the first two of these steps.
A
QUESTIONING
Questioning can be by interview, either in person or by phone, or by questionnaire. The usefulness of the responses to the questions asked will depend on the relevance, clarity and structure of the questions. Questions should use simple language, be unambiguous so that there can be no doubt about their meaning, and they should be free from bias, that is, free from unfair influence. The main types of questions used in questionnaires are: ²
Free-response or open-ended questions For example, “What TV programs do you like to watch?” The person answers the question in his/her own way.
²
Yes or No questions For example, “Do you like to watch the news?” The person answers yes or no to the question.
²
True or False questions These are similar to yes or no questions.
²
Tick the box type questions For example, “Which of the following do you like to watch?” News, Sport, Drama, Comedy, Soapies

Write a question, of each of the types above, which could be used to investigate your school uniform. Discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each. Free-Response: “What do you like/dislike about the present school uniform?” This question would possibly collect a lot of information but because there would be many different responses it might be difficult to organise and interpret the responses. Yes or No: “Would you like to change the present school uniform?” The responses to this question will indicate whether there is a desire to change the uniform but will not indicate what change, if any, is wanted (this of course could be done by further questions). True or False: “The present school uniform is satisfactory.” Comment is as for the Yes and No questions. Tick a box: “Which of the following items of school uniform would you like to be changed?” ¤ Boys ¤ Shirt ¤ Trousers ¤ Shoes ¤ Pullover ¤ Girls ¤ Blouse ¤ Skirt ¤ Shoes ¤ Pullover The responses to this question will give information about what particular changes are wanted. Response Scales: “Circle the response which most closely agrees with your opinion of the present school uniform.” 1 Strongly like 2 Like 3 No opinion 4 Dislike 5 Strongly dislike The responses to this question will give a clearer indication of the depth of feeling concerning a change but will not indicate what change, if any, is wanted. Note: When using response scales some thought should be given to the number of choices. An even number of choices may force an opinion one way or another, in particular circumstances, but sometimes it may be desirable to allow a neutral choice by having an odd number of choices.
100
95
75
When writing questionaires, the questions should be simple and straightforward so that there is only one interpretation possible. They should show respect for the privacy of individuals, should not involve any calculations and should avoid any bias. For example, “Do you agree that ....?”. In general, the simpler the question and the more precise the response required, the more accurate the data will be. It is a good idea to trial your questions on a few people to check that they are achieving the purpose for which you are designing them.

Write a short questionnaire, using each of the different types of questions discussed above, for each of the following investigations. Trial your questions on a small group and if necessary modify them.
a What change, if any, would students like to your school uniform? (Consider how many students want a change, boys/girls, juniors/seniors, what items, ....?) b What are the most popular radio stations and why? (Consider types of programs, types of music, boys/girls, when they listen, how often, ....?) c Are students satisfied with the food available at the school canteen? (Consider who uses the canteen, when, how often, how much is spent, types of food, ....?) d What are the smoking and/or drinking habits of the senior students at your school? (Consider how many students of each gender, when, how often, the cost, ....?)

CLASSIFICATION OF DATA
When collecting data, we are interested in a particular property or characteristic of a group of people or objects. The particular characteristic that we are interested in is called the variable. A categorical variable is one which describes a characteristic. It can be divided into categories. For example, colour, quality, gender are categorical variables. A quantitative variable is one which has a numerical value. Further, quantitative variables can be either discrete or continuous.
95
A discrete variable takes exact numerical values. It is often the result of counting.
75
For example, the number of children in a family, marks in a test, shoe size. A continuous variable takes numerical values within a certain range. It is usually the result of measuring. For example, if the weight of a student is given as 48 kg the exact weight could be anywhere between 47:5 and 48:5 kg. Weight is a continuous variable.

IDENTIFYING POPULATIONS BEING INVESTIGATED
One of the first decisions to be made when collecting data is from whom, or what, the information is to be collected. There are two ways in which this can be done. These are: a census or a sample. A census is a method which involves collecting data about every individual in the whole population. The individuals may be people or objects. A census is detailed and accurate but is expensive, time consuming and often impractical. A sample is a method which involves collecting data about a part of the population only. It is cheaper and quicker than a census but is not as detailed or as accurate. Conclusions drawn from samples always involve some error.
EXAMPLE
1
Would a census or sample be used to investigate a the length of time an electric light globe will last b the causes of car accidents in NSW c the number of people who use Britex toothpaste? a Sample. It is obviously impractical to test every light globe produced - there would be none left for sale! b Census. An accurate analysis of all accidents would be required. c Sample. It would be very time consuming to interview the whole population to find out who uses, or does not use, Britex toothpaste.

BIAS IN SAMPLING
The most common way of collecting information is by using a sample. The purpose of a sample is to provide an estimate of a particular characteristic of the whole population. Therefore the challenge in selecting a sample is to make it as free from prejudice as possible and large enough to be representative of the whole population. A biased sample is one in which the data has been unfairly influenced by the collection process and is not truly representative of the whole population.
EXAMPLE
1
Suggest the possible bias in each of the following samples: a a phone survey during the day b a survey of people on a train station c a survey of a football crowd d 10 people are tested with a new drug developed to cure the common cold a The sample would be biased towards people who are at home during the day, i.e., it does not include people who go to work. b The sample would be biased towards people who catch the train, i.e., it does not include people who use other forms of transport or work at home. c The sample would be biased towards people who attend football matches. For example, there would probably be more males than females at football matches. d The sample is not big enough to make a valid conclusion.

f businesses selected from the Yellow Pages phone directory g people selected from the electoral roll 2 Comment on any possible bias in the following situations: a Year 7 students are interviewed about changes to the school uniform. b Motorists stopped in peak hour are interviewed about traffic problems. c Real estate agents are interviewed about the prices of houses. d Politicians are interviewed about the state of the country’s economy. e People are asked to phone in to register their vote on an issue. f An opinion poll is conducted by posting a questionnaire to people. g A manufacturing company tests a sample of its products every Monday morning. h A survey of 20 people indicated that 80% of people watch the Channel 9 News. i A company claims that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend their brand of toothbrush. j An advertisement claims that “Dog breeders recommend Buddy dog food.”
EXAMPLE
2
Sometimes people use biased samples to enhance their claims for their products or to support a particular point of view. For example, if you wanted the local council to upgrade its swimming pools, what sample of people would you choose to survey? A sample of people at the swimming pool. You would expect the people who use the pool to be biased very favourably towards this proposal.
3 Describe the sample you would choose if you wanted to gather support for the following: a Stop smoking in public places. b Improve the local bus survice. c Increase the number of books in the public library. d Improve the facilities in the school’s senior common room. e Stop logging in National Parks. f Increase unemployment benefits. g Reduce tariffs on farm products. h Reduce bank fees. 4 Describe samples with the opposite bias to those in question 3.

Sometimes we want a sample which is biased towards a certain group. For example, what would be a suitable sample to survey if we wanted to:
95
a investigate the most popular movies b collect information about the cleanliness of trains?
75
a People who go to the movies, such as the people in the foyer of a movie theatre. b People who travel on trains.

TABLES OF RANDOM NUMBERS
Much of the work involving sampling depends on the concept of a random number. A random number is one which is chosen in such a way that all possible numbers have an equal chance of being chosen. One way to do this involves writing all the possible numbers on pieces of paper and drawing one piece from a hat. For example, if we wanted a random (whole) number less than 21 then we could write the numbers 1 to 20 on pieces of paper, place them in a hat, mix them and then choose one. If the number of possibilities is large then it is more convenient to use lists of random numbers generated from prepared tables, computers or calculators. Below is an excerpt from a table of random numbers: 48047 08695 90070 10132 58547 85566 40942 80553 27328 64584

Use the table to find 10 random numbers which are less than 60. Choose 2 digit numbers, as shown in Example 1, rejecting any that are bigger than 60. Suppose we start at the 2 in row 3, column 24 and move across the row to the right. The first number is 29, the next is 68 but this is bigger than 60 so we reject it, the next number is 24 etc. Our final list will be 29, 24, 49, 1, 32, 27, 35, 30, 17, 41.
7 Starting at the 2 in row 4, column 6 and moving down the column, find 10 random numbers which are less than a 80 b 35 8 Starting at the 1 in row 6, column 12 and moving down the column, find 10 random numbers which are less than a 700 b 280 (Use 3 digit random numbers.)

CALCULATOR GENERATION OF RANDOM NUMBERS
Most modern scientific calculators have a random number generator. On Casio calculators the function key is labelled “ RAN¡# ” and it generates random numbers from 0:000 up to 0:999. On a Casio Calculator, press SHIFT RAN¡# . A number such as 0:364 will appear.
100
To obtain a one digit random number, ignore the decimal point and the first two digits. This gives the random number 4.
95
75
To obtain a two digit random number, ignore the decimal point and the first digit. This gives the random number 64. To obtain a three digit random number, ignore the decimal point. This gives the random number 364 .

Random numbers can be generated using a spreadsheet. The following instructions apply to Microsoft EXCEL. Format cells to 0 decimal places ² Type = RAND ( ) * 100 Select Fill down (or Fill across) This produces a list, or row, of 2 digit random numbers. ²
To produce a list of 3 digit random numbers Type = RAND ( ) * 1000 Select Fill down
²
To produce a list of random numbers from a to b Type = RAND ( ) * (b ¡ a) + a Select Fill down
An example of this is shown below:
A B C D E F G 1 RANDOM NUMBERS between any two numbers 2 2 digit 3 digit start = 0 finish = 100 3 4 40 646 73 5 78 685 14 6 96 418 66 7 10 197 81 8 98 254 50 9 82 783 35 10 03 876 31 11 97 489 58
The formula in cell A4 is = RAND ( ) * 100. The formula in cell B4 is = RAND ( ) * 1000. The formula in cell E4 is = RAND ( ) * ($G$3¡ $D$3) + $D$3. They are then filled down. Try changing the values in D3 and G3.

THE RANDOM SAMPLE

In a random sample, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. In choosing random samples it is usual to assign numbers to each member of the population and then numbers are selected at random. The members of the population whose numbers are selected form the sample. If the population is small then the random numbers could be chosen by, for example, drawing them from a hat. However, if the population is large then this method is not practical. For these cases we use random numbers generated by tables, calculators or computers.
EXAMPLE
1
a Explain how a random sample of ten students could be chosen from a class of 30. b Which students would be selected if we use the following list of random numbers? 59147 79223 43889 43702 15558 75042 59875 53705 32924 26711 34092 18732 13930 67314 23133 05916 03882 29477 a Assign the numbers 1 to 30 to each member of the class. Write the numbers on cards, shuffle, spread out and then select any 10 cards. The students whose numbers are selected form the sample. or 10 random numbers not bigger than 30 could be selected from a table or by using a calculator. b Choosing 2 digit numbers less than 31 from the list given (starting at 59 and moving to the right), the students whose numbers are 14, 23, 2, 15, 5, 11, 9, 21, 13, 6 would be selected.
EXAMPLE

95
Explain how a random sample of 80 students could be selected from a school of 950 students. Assign each of the numbers 1 to 950 to the students of the school. In this case it would be very time consuming to write numbers on cards, etc., so it would be simpler to select 80 random numbers from 1 to 950 using a table or calculator. The students whose numbers are selected form the sample.

THE “CAPTURE–RECAPTURE” METHOD
The “capture-recapture” technique is often used by biologists to collect data about the size of various animal populations A random sample is captured, “tagged” and then released. Some time later another random sample is captured and the number of “tagged” animals in this sample is used to predict the total population, based on the assumption that the proportion of tagged animals is the same in the total population as it is in the sample.
EXAMPLE
1
A biologist catches a random sample of 120 fish from a lake. Each one is tagged and released back into the lake. One month later another random sample of 80 fish is caught and it is found that 6 of them have tags. Estimate how many fish there are in the lake.
If we let T represent the total number of fish in the lake, then the fraction of tagged fish in 120 6 the whole lake is . The fraction of tagged fish in the sample = . T 80 We assume that the fraction of tagged fish in the sample is the same as the fraction of tagged fish in the whole lake. 120 6 Hence = T 80

EXERCISE 5I 1 A biologist catches 100 fish in a dam, tags them and releases them back into the dam. One week later he catches 90 fish of which 12 have tags. Estimate how many fish there are in the dam. 2 A Park Ranger catches and tags 50 rabbits and then releases them. A few days later he catches another 50 rabbits in the same area and finds that 4 of them are tagged. Estimate how many rabbits there are in this area. 3 A scientist at a trout farm takes 200 trout from a pond, tags them and releases them back into the pond. A week later he catches 100 trout and finds that 5 of them are tagged. Estimate the number of trout in the pond. 4 A researcher investigating the kangaroo population in an area catches and tags 40 kangaroos before releasing them back into the same area. A week later he catches another 40 kangaroos and finds that 8 of them are tagged. Determine the number of kangaroos in this area.
PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES You can simulate the capture/recapture technique as follows: Place a large (unknown) number of toothpicks in a bowl. Take out a small number (say 10) from the bowl and mark (tag) each of these with a texta pen. Put the marked (tagged) toothpicks pack in the bowl and mix them all thoroughly. Now take a handful of the toothpicks from the bowl and determine what fraction of this sample are marked. Use this fraction to estimate the number of toothpicks in the bowl. a Repeat the simulation by marking 20 toothpicks. b Check your estimates by actually counting the number of toothpicks in the bowl. 100

STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE

When we select a random sample of 10 students from a mixed class of 30 then it is possible that we would get, for example, 10 boys. If it is important for our purpose that we have a proportional mix of boys and girls then simple random sampling may not produce a satisfactory sample. When we select a random sample of 80 students from a school of 950 then it is possible that we would get 80 students from the same Year group. If it is important that we have a proportional

mix of students from each Year group, then again simple random sampling may not produce a satisfactory sample. In these cases we can use a stratified random sample.
100
95
In this method the population is divided up into subgroups (strata), based on different characteristics such as age, gender, income etc. The stratified random sample is then made up of random samples from each subgroup. The size of each random sample is proportional to the relative size of the subgroup.

SYSTEMATIC SAMPLE

Again each member of the population is assigned a number. To obtain a systematic sample the first number is selected at random and then we select every nth number, that is, we select numbers at regular intervals. The value of n, i.e., the size of the regular interval, depends on the size of the sample wanted and the size of the population.

EXAMPLE
The interval shows how often you select items.

For a population of 240 items, at what intervals should we select items to obtain a systematic sample of a 20 b 40 c 60? Divide the size of the population by the size of the sample wanted. a 240 ¥ 20 = 12 Hence, we should select every 12th item.

THE EFFECT OF THE SAMPLE SIZE
A good sample is one which has almost exactly the same characteristics as the total population. We say that a good sample is “representative” of the population. In this section we will investigate what effect the size of a sample has on how well it represents the whole population.

MODELLING TASK 100
We wish to find the area of a field using a traverse survey. Surveying involves the measurement of distances and angles in order to determine the positions of boundaries and the major features of areas of land.
95
75
THE TRAVERSE SURVEY (OFFSET METHOD)
In this method the surveyor walks along a straight line, often a diagonal of the area to be surveyed, measuring distances along this line and distances to major features when they are at right angles to this line. The measurements are recorded in the surveyor’s notebook or fieldbook.

The distances along the diagonal from A to the foot of each perpendicular offset (i.e., the distances AP, AQ, AR, AD) are shown between the vertical lines.
39C 35B
The numbers outside the vertical lines give the lengths of the offsets and indicate whether they are on the right or left when traversing the diagonal AD.

In words: 15 metres from P, along the diagonal PR, there is a perpendicular offset on the left of length 17 metres. 25 metres from P (i.e., a further 10 metres along the diagonal PR) is an offset on the right of length 32 metres. 42 metres from P (i.e., a further 17 metres along PR) is an offset on the left of length 24 metres. It is then a further 16 metres to R.

6 The surveyor has a very precise instrument called a theodolite with which he/she can accurately find the perpendicular offsets. You are not likely to have this instrument, however, there are other methods, of varying degrees of accuracy, which you could use: Make a simple cross with 2 pieces of timber at right angles to each other (2 T-Squares are quite suitable).

DRAWING 3D OBJECTS
Solids are often drawn with different views. Sometimes they are drawn as plans with elevations from the front, back and sides. Other times they are drawn as isometric diagrams. In an isometric drawing the lines going back from the front face are inclined at 30o . Distances are preserved and the easiest way of drawing them is by using isometric graph paper.

PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS
Isometric drawings can be criticized as being non-realistic. Perspective drawings are an attempt to make objects look as we see them and, in fact, as a photograph would capture them. A sense of depth is created by making objects smaller the more distant they are from the spectator , and parallel lines are made to converge (meet at a point) as they recede into the distance. Perspective drawings have one or two vanishing points VP1 and VP2 . These vanishing points lie on the horizon and lines to the vanishing points seem to vanish.

Here is an arrow drawn in perspective. In this drawing a measuring line with equal intervals of 1:4 cm between each mark is used to form a grid. The intervals on the measuring line are 1:4 cm as this is the approximate length of the diagonal of a 1 cm square. Lines are drawn from the measuring line to each of the vanishing points. A grid is formed. The arrow is then drawn on the grid.

DISPLAYING DATA (Chapter 7)
100
In Chapter 5 we discussed the planning and management of data collection. We will now look at the recording and displaying of the data that has been collected. Raw data, when collected by observation or experiment, is usually in random order. It is difficult to gain information from the data when it is in this form.
95
75
One of the aims of statistics is to rearrange and condense the raw information into a form which is more easily read so that patterns and characteristics may be identified, conclusions drawn and inferences may be made.

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLES
A frequency table is a table which displays the frequency (number of times it occurs) for each of the categories of the data.
EXAMPLE
1
The method by which the students of a class travelled to school on a particular day is recorded below, using the code walk (W), cycle (C), bus (B), train (T) and motor car (M) WCBTC BBBWB BBCBT CMCBT MMTMM MTCCB Rearrange this information into a frequency distribution table using a tally column. Method of travel Walk Cycle Bus Car Train
Tally jj © jj © jjjj © © © © jjjj jjjj © j © jjjj © © jjjj Total
Frequency 2 7 10 6 5 30
Note: ² Every 5th tally mark is placed through the 4 preceding tally marks. (This makes counting easier.) ² The frequency is the total of the tally marks, that is, the number of times a particular mode of travel is used. ² Always check that the total of the frequency column is the same as the number of observations recorded.

CUMULATIVE AND RELATIVE FREQUENCY
A convenient way of answering many of the questions in the above exercise is to add a cumulative frequency column and a relative frequency column.
The cumulative frequency of each score is found by adding the frequencies of all the scores up to and including that particular score. The relative frequency of each score is the fraction of times that the score occurs.
100
95
75
25
For the purpose of comparison, it is often convenient to express this fraction as a percentage (sometimes called the percentage relative frequency).

DISPLAYING DATA (Chapter 7)
You can see that we are unable to obtain very much information from the rearrangement of the raw data into this form, apart from getting a rank order of the scores. It was also very time consuming to prepare.
Class 0-9 10 - 19 20 - 29 30 - 39 40 - 49 50 - 59 60 - 69 70 - 79 80 - 89 90 - 99
In cases such as these we can condense the data into a less complex form by grouping it into classes, or class intervals, and finding the frequency of each class, again using a tally column. For example:
5
0
Note that each class has the same size as each includes 10 possible scores. For example, the class 0 - 9 includes the scores 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. We could say the scores are grouped in tens.
Tally j j jjj jjjj © jjjj © jjjj © © © jjjj © jjjj jjjj © © © j © jjjj jjjj © © jjjj j j Total
Frequency 1 1 3 4 9 14 11 5 1 1 50
From this distribution we can now easily determine that, for instance, 28% (14 out of 50) of the scores lie between 50 and 59, 36% (18 out of 50) scored less than 50, etc. We could also condense the data further by grouping as follows: Again each class interval has the same size as each includes 20 possible scores. We could say that the scores are grouped in twenties.
Class 0 - 19 20 - 39 40 - 59 60 - 79 80 - 99
Tally jj © jj © jjjj © © © © © © © jjj © jjjj jjjj jjjj jjjj © © © © © j © jjjj jjjj jjjj jj Total
Frequency 2 7 23 16 2 50
Hence, if the data we are collecting has a large range of values then we can reduce the complexity of the distribution and put it into a more useable form by grouping it into classes, sometimes called class intervals. In order to make interpretation of the table as easy as possible, when grouping data it is desirable that: ²
the classes should not overlap. For example, if we had formed classes 0 - 10, 10 - 20, 20 - 30, .... then we would not know in which class to put the score 10, or 20 etc.
²
there should be no gaps between class intervals. For example, if we were organising the above data into classes 0 - 4, 5 - 9, 10 - 14, etc. then, even though there would be no scores in the class interval 5 - 9, this class would be included.
²
each class interval should be the same size. (When there are extremely low or high scores it may be convenient to make the bottom and top class intervals open, for example, less than 300, 300 - 319, 320 - 329, ......, 390 - 399, 400 or more. However any further statistical analysis then becomes very difficult.)
The disadvantage of using a grouped frequency distribution is that some details are lost. For example, in the first distribution above there are 9 scores in the 40 - 49 class but we cannot determine from the table whether the scores are all at one end of the interval or evenly spread through it.

The main disadvantage of grouped distribution tables is that some information is lost. For example, it is not possible to determine the lowest and highest scores from the table.
25
Stem and leaf plots are another way of displaying information. They are used to group and rank data to show the range and distribution of the data.

This stem and leaf plot gives no more information that an ordered list of numbers. In order to show the information in a more meaningful way the stem is split as follows: The stem 0 will contain the leaves 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. The stem 0¤ will contain the leaves 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The stem and leaf plot will then become Stem 0 0¤

SECTOR GRAPHS
The aim of using graphs to display data is to present the information in a way which is visually attractive. Although there is some loss of detail, compared with a table, it is often easier to see trends and relationships. Often both a table and a graph are used to convey the maximum amount of information.
100
95
75
In a sector graph (sometimes called a pie chart), each category is represented by a sector of a circle. 25
The area of each sector is proportional to the size of each category and hence each sector angle is proportional to the size of each category.

Investigate the options available such as the labelling, including the table, etc. Use a spreadsheet to draw pie charts for the data in the previous questions 4, 5 and 6.
Sector graphs are useful, especially for categorical data, to illustrate how one thing is divided into parts. They show the sizes of each category relative to each other and relative to the whole group. The disadvantages are that there is quite a lot of actual measurement of angles required, quite a lot of calculations needed and the answers in most cases, are approximations.
F
DIVIDED BAR GRAPHS
Divided bar graphs are also useful for illustrating how a whole thing is divided into parts. They have all the advantages of sector graphs, apart from maybe being less attractive visually. The calculations and measurements required are easier.

A dot plot is a convenient and efficient method for illustrating a small set of data consisting of a small number of categories/possible outcomes. It also has the advantage that it can be used directly for unsorted data. For large sets of data, the dot plot is very time consuming to prepare, and conversely, completed dot plots are difficult to read. It can only be used when the outcomes can be counted.

Graph B has exaggerated the increase in profit by not starting the scale on the vertical axis at zero and by enlarging this scale. Graph C has the opposite effect – diminishing the rate of increase by enlarging the horizontal scale. Graph D, by using a smaller scale on the horizontal axis, gives a different impression again. Graph E has an irregular scale on the vertical axis. Graphs A, C and D are fair, although each gives a different impression. Graphs B and E are misleading.

The width of each column is the same and the height of the second column is twice that of the first. In graph B, both dimensions, height and width, of the picture of a TV have been doubled creating the impression that the sales of brand Y are ( 2 £ 2 =) 4 times those of brand X.

FREQUENCY HISTOGRAMS AND POLYGONS
95
A convenient method of representing a frequency distribution graphically is by means of a frequency histogram. A histogram is basically a column (or bar) graph in which the values of the variable are placed on the horizontal axis and the frequency of the variable on the vertical axis. A frequency polygon is a line graph with the first and last points joined to the horizontal axis to form a polygon.

DISPLAYING DATA (Chapter 7)
Note:
²
We do not join the last corner to the horizontal axis, so it is not strictly a polygon.
²
Again, we join the upper right hand vertices, not the midpoints of each column, when drawing a cumulative frequency polygon.
²
To draw a cumulative frequency polygon without first drawing the histogram requires a careful consideration of the upper and lower boundaries of each class interval.

SIMPLE INTEREST CALCULATIONS
Simple interest is the name given to the type of interest that is calculated on the full amount borrowed or invested over the full term of the loan. The amount borrowed is called the principal. The simple interest rate as a percentage is often called the flat rate of interest. The term of the loan is usually expressed in years, but may be given as any time period.
25
The formula for calculating simple interest is given by:

75
A mathematical model for simple interest may be developed using a graph that compares the interest and the rate for a fixed amount of money over a number of years. This section is best attempted using a graphics calculator or if this is not available then a spreadsheet will do. This enables the variables to be changed and the new graph seen without having to calculate and plot points.

COMPOUND INTEREST
When money is invested at compound interest, the interest earned at the end of each time period is added to the principal. This increases the principal that is used to calculate the interest for the next time period. With compound interest you earn interest on the interest.
EXAMPLE
Interest on interest. That’s interesting!

A mathematical model for compound interest may be developed using a graph that compares the interest and the rate for a fixed amount of money over a number of years. This section is best attempted using a graphics calculator. If a graphics calculator is unavailable then a spreadsheet may be used. This enables the variables to be changed and the new graph seen without having to calculate and plot points.

SHARES A share is a part ownership in a company.
One method a company may choose to use to raise capital is to sell shares to investors. The shares in the company when first issued, have a face or par value . The shares are then listed on the stockmarket and the price fluctuates. The price of the share being traded on the stock exchange is called the market price. Any profits made by the company are divided amongst the shareholders. This return to the shareholders is called a dividend. The dividend may be quoted as an amount per share or as a percentage of the face value of the share. The theoretical return on the money invested is called the yield and is calculated according to the following formula:

INFLATION AND APPRECIATED VALUE
Inflation is the rise in cost of consumer goods and services and is usually expressed as a percentage rate. The inflation rate reflects the increase in cost of items. We can calculate appreciated values on a year by year basis, or if the rate of inflation is constant over the time period, we could use the compound interest formula. µ price after n years = original price £

THE LANGUAGE OF CHANCE

There are many words in common language that are used to describe the chance, or likelihood, of an event happening - impossible, no chance, unlikely, certain, definite, probably, possibly, maybe, even chance, 50-50 chance etc. For example, “I’ve got no chance of finishing all my maths homework tonight.” “I’ll probably go to the party on Saturday night.” “I’m definitely going to buy a new pair of shoes.” “When you toss a coin there is an even chance of getting a head or a tail.” Can you think of any other words used to describe chance? Use the words in a sentence.
EXERCISE 9A 1 Use a c e g h i j
words like those in the introduction above to describe the chance of the following events the sun rising tomorrow b winning Lotto it will rain tomorrow d being struck by lightning getting homework today f living to 500 years of age snow falling at your school in December somebody in your class having a birthday today selecting a red card from a normal playing pack attending school tomorrow
2 Copy the scale below and place the events of question 1 on it.
Impossible
Even
Certain
3 The following is a list of colloquial terms and expressions used to describe chance. Research and discuss the meaning of these terms: pigs might fly, once in a blue moon, as scarce as hen’s teeth, a long shot, a sure thing, in the box seat, Buckley’s chance, bank on it, put your house on it, a one in 300 year flood, a snowflake’s chance in hell

EQUALLY LIKELY OUTCOMES
Equally likely outcomes are outcomes which have exactly the same (equal) chance of occurring.

THE SAMPLE SPACE FOR MULTI-STAGE EVENTS
In the language of chance, an event is an outcome or a collection of outcomes. For example, when a die is rolled “getting a 2” is one of the six equally likely outcomes. The event is “getting a 2”. “Getting an even number” includes the outcomes 2, 4 or 6. This event is a collection of outcomes. A multi-stage event is one which is made up of simpler events. When finding the sample space for multi-stage events, it is often useful to use a systematic method such as a list, table or tree diagram.
EXAMPLE
1
Tim has three pairs of trousers (blue, brown and grey) and two shirts (one long sleeved and one short sleeved) in his wardrobe. Find all the possible combinations of trousers and shirts he can . wear Using a table:
Shirt
Long Short
Blue Bl L Bl S
Trousers Brown Grey Br L G L Br S G S 100
From the table we can determine that there are six equally likely outcomes:
95
Blue trousers with long sleeved shirt Brown trousers with long sleeved shirt Grey trousers with long sleeved shirt Blue trousers with short sleeved shirt Brown trousers with short sleeved shirt Grey trousers with short sleeved shirt

This is called a two-stage event because it is made up of two simpler events; the colour of the trousers (with three possible outcomes) and the type of shirt (with two possible outcomes). Tables or tree diagrams are convenient ways of identifying the sample space for two-stage events.

METHODS OF COUNTING
In Example 1 of 9C, Tim had 3 pairs of trousers and 2 shirts. The number of possible combinations of trousers and shirts was found to be 6. Note that this is the product (3 £ 2) of the number of choices at each stage.
25
In Example 2 of 9C, the total number of outcomes for this three stage event was 8, which is again the product (2 £ 2 £ 2) of the number of choices (= 2) at each of the three stages. These results may be generalised.
5
0
The Fundamental Counting Theorem states: The total number of outcomes for a multi-stage event can be determined from the product of the number of choices at each stage.

The third position can be taken by any of the remaining two people, i.e., there are two choices for the third place. There is then only one person left to take the fourth place.

ESTIMATING CHANCE
One way to predict the likelihood of an event happening in the future is to investigate the occurrence of the event in the past. This assumes that patterns in the immediate past will not change greatly in the future.

EXAMPLE

1
The students of a class combined to toss two coins 2000 times. The results are recorded in the table alongside. Use this information to predict the chance of getting “2 heads” when you toss two coins.
Result 2 heads 1 head and 1 tail 2 tails
Frequency 563 987 450
From the data collected, 2 heads occurred 563 times out of the 2000 tosses, i.e., on 28:15% of the occasions. If we assume that the frequency of occurrence will be the same for future tosses, then we could predict that when two coins are tossed the chance of getting 2 heads is approximately 28%. (Similarly we could predict from the data that the chance of getting 1 head and 1 tail is wL_pK_pJ_p_ , or approximately 49%, and the chance of getting 2 tails is wF_pG_p:_p_ , or approximately 23%.) EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY
In Example 1, we have assigned a number (a percentage) to the chance of an event happening. The mathematics of chance is called probability. The number we have used above is called the relative frequency of the event. Relative frequency gives an estimate of the probability of an event occurring. Because of the way that it is determined, relative frequency is often referred to as experimental probability. i.e.,
Experimental probability = relative frequency f f or P £ 100% = P f f 100

THEORETICAL PROBABILITY
If all the possible outcomes are eqully likely, then the theoretical probability of an event E happening is given by P(E) =
number of favourable outcomes total number of outcomes
The probability of an event may be expressed as a fraction, a decimal or a percentage.
EXAMPLE

An event E is an outcome or collection of outcomes. It is a subgroup of the sample space.
95
The remaining group of outcomes of the sample space which do not belong to E is called the e complement of E. The complement of E is written E.
e are called complementary events. From the definition it follows that E and E

TAXABLE INCOME
The taxable income is calculated using total income and allowable deductions. Total income includes income from all sources throughout the year. These may include wages and salaries, bonuses, interest earned, commissions, allowances etc. The total income may be subject to deductions that reduce the amount used to calculate the tax payable. Tax deductions may include: union fees, donations over $2, car travel expenses, uniforms and their cleaning, tools used for work, safety equipment, self education expenses, and tax agent fees. Depending on the profession, some or all of these may be allowable deductions.
25

0
Taxable income = Total income ¡ allowable deductions. An extra tax added to all taxable incomes is the medicare levy. Medicare is the public hospital medical system available without charge for Australians. The Medicare levy is currently calculated at 1.4% of taxable income. A taxpayer only pays a Medicare levy if their taxable income exceeds $13 643. However, for incomes between $12 689 and $13 643 a reduced levy is payable.
EXAMPLE
1
Amita uses the following information to calculate her taxable income: wages $35 980, interest $568 (joint account), bonus $200, cost of uniforms $140, tax agent fee $80, use of car $298. Calculate Amita’s taxable income.
Interest in joint accounts is shared between both people.
Income = $35 980 + ($568 ¥ 2) + $200 = $36 464 Deductions = $140 + $80 + $298 = $518 Taxable income = $36 464 ¡ $518 = $35 946

CALCULATING TAX
The calculation of income tax is performed using a tax table. Following is the table for calculating annual tax for the year 2000.
EXAMPLE
Calculating Gross Tax Payable for year 2000 $1 to $6000 No tax payable $6001 to $20000 17 cents per $ in excess of $6000 $20001 to $50000 $2380 plus 30 cents per $ in excess of $20000 $50001 to $75000 $11380 plus 42 cents per $ in excess of $50000 $75001 and over $21880 plus 47 cents per $ in excess of $75000 Apply these rates to your taxable income.

Use only whole dollars in the calculation of tax.
a $53 251 is in the fourth row of the table. Excess = $53251 ¡ $50000 = $3251
Tax = $11380 + 0:42 £ $3251 = $12745:42
b $26 784 is in the third row of the table. Excess = $26 784 ¡ $20 000 = $6784
Tax = $2380 + 0:30 £ $6784 = $4415:20 100
c $7342 is in the second row of the table. Excess = $7342 ¡ $6000 = $1342

GST AND VAT
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. A GST is a tax on various goods like TV’s, prepared food and so forth, and on services like electrical work, plumbing, etc. The GST is set at a percentage of the cost or price of the goods or service. In year 2000, the GST in Australia is 10%. It is added on to the sale of goods and services. Most food items, including meat and vegetables, are GST free.
EXAMPLE

GST CALCULATIONS
The easiest way to work out how much GST has been paid on a particular item is to divide the total price including tax, by 11. This is a GST rule of thumb.
EXAMPLE
2
Guido buys a lounge suite for $720 including GST. Find a the GST paid on the lounge. b the original cost of the lounge suite before the GST was added. GST paid = $720 ¥ 11 = $65.45 (to 2 decimal places)
a
b
Original cost = $720 ¡ $65:45 = $654:55 or using the unitary method The lounge price = the cost price plus 10% = 110% of the cost price. Now, ) )
110% = $720 1% = 6:54545::: 100% = $654.55 (to 2 dec pl)

Note: The rule of thumb of dividing by 11, only works if the GST is 10%.

GRAPHING TAX RATES
75
The amounts of tax payable may be found using graphs. Using a graph to find tax is an example of mathematical modelling. It is not only possible to find the amount of tax payable using a graph, but the taxable income given the amount of tax. There are a number of different types of graphs depending on the tax system.

AREA OF STUDY
This chapter deals with the calculation of summar y statistics for single data sets and their use and interpretation. The main mathematical ideas investigated in this chapter are: 8 the mean, mode and median for ungrouped data 8 selection and use of the appropriate measure to describe features of a data set 8 comparison of the summary statistics of samples from the same population 8 the division of data into quartiles and deciles 8 range and interquartile range 8 box and whisker plots 8 population and sample standard deviation.

SUMMARY STATISTICS (Chapter 11)
MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
95
In Chapter 8 we looked at ways to rearrange and condense raw data into tables and graphs which are more easily read so that patterns and characteristics may be identified, and conclusions drawn. Often it is convenient and useful to condense the data further to a single number, judged to be central or representative of all the data. This number is sometimes called an “average” but statisticians prefer to call it a measure of central tendency or measure of location. The three commonly used measures of central tendency are the mean, mode and median.

THE MEAN
The mean of a set of scores is the sum of all the scores divided by the number of scores. x is the symbol we use to represent the mean.

Bimodal means having 2 modes.
For example, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8 is bimodal as it has 2 modes, namely 3 and 4.

THE MEDIAN
The median is the middle score after the scores have been arranged in ascending order (i.e., from smallest to largest). The median divides the data into two parts such that there are equal numbers of scores below it and above it.
The median strip is down the middle of the road.
1
EXAMPLE
Find the median of the scores a 7, 9, 3, 9, 8 b 3, 4, 8, 9, 8, 9, 3, 5
c
3, 4, 8, 2, 9, 8, 9, 10, 3, 8
a First arrange the five scores in ascending order: 3, 7, 8, 9, 9 For an odd number of scores there is one middle score. By observation, the middle score is 8 because there are two scores below it and two scores above it, i.e., median = 8. Notes: ²
²
The median can be found by crossing off equal numbers of scores from each end of the ordered arrangement:
3 7 8 9 9 " median = 8
If the number of scores n, is odd then the median is the value of the score in the n+1 2 th position. In this example, n = 5 hence
n+1 2
= 3,
i.e., the median is the 3rd score (= 8): b Arranging the scores in numerical order: 3, 3, 4, 5, 8, 8, 9, 9. Cross off scores from each end 3, 3, 4, 5, 8, 8, 9, 9. We find in this case that there are two middle scores, 5 and 8.
100
95
) median = the number midway between 5 and 8 = mean of 5 and 8 = 5+8 2 = 6:5 i.e., 3 3 4 5 8 8 9 9 " median = 6:5

Note that the scores are already arranged in numerical order. P 23+1 From the table n = f = 23: Hence, n+1 = 12, 2 = 2 i.e., the median is the 12th term. (There are 11 terms below it and 11 terms above it.) From the cumulative frequency column, we can see that the 12th term is 7, i.e., median = 7.

SUMMARY STATISTICS (Chapter 11) 100
The 60th and 61st scores are in the 350 - 374 class but we do not know the exact values of these scores, i.e., from the table it is only possible to state that the median is in the 350 - 374 class. This is sometimes called the median class. We could estimate the median to be at the class centre (= 362) but a more accurate estimate can be found using the ogive (cumulative frequency polygon) for this distribution.

RELATIVE MERITS OF MEAN, MODE AND MEDIAN
The mean, mode and median were introduced in this chapter as measures of central tendency, i.e., single numbers which are central or typical of all the numbers under consideration. Which measure is the most appropriate in a given situation? The answer is that there is no general rule which can be used, rather it depends on the nature of the data and the relative merits of these measures. We will investigation some of these properties next.

iii This set of scores does have a mode but it occurs at one end of the set, i.e., it is not a central value. The mean (= 20) and the median (= 17) are good measures of central tendency. Note that there are cases when the mode is important even if it is not a central value. For example, if the numbers are the sizes of hats sold by a shop then the size which is sold most often would be important to the shopowner and the manufacturer of hats.

ii mean = 20:6
b In i the mean is central and typical of the data. It is a good measure of central tendency. The mode (= 5) is not a central value but the median (= 6) is both central and typical. In ii, four out of five scores are less than the mean, that is, it is not a central value and also, it is not typical of the size of any of the scores. The mean has the disadvantage of being affected by extremely large (or small) values, such as the score 80 in ii above. Very small or very large atypical scores are called outliers. In some cases it may be useful to ignore outliers when calculating the mean. The mode (= 5) is not a central value. The median (= 6) is unaffected by the extreme value and would be the best measure of central tendency in this case. Note that if we ignore the outlier 80, then the mean = 5:75 100

g Which of these measures (mean, mode, median) varies the most between samples? h Which of these measures varies the least? SUMMARY – Choosing the appropriate measure
When selecting which of the three measures of central tendency to use as a representative figure for a set of data, consider the following characteristics of each measure: Mean ² ² ²
It is the most commonly used, is easy to understand and is easy to calculate. Its value depends on the value of every score in the data set. Its main disadvantage is that its value is easily distorted by very large, or very small, atypical scores (outliers).
²
It has the best sampling stability, i.e., if we choose random samples, of the same size, from a large population, then the mean is the measure which varies the least, from sample to sample.
²
It is not suitable for categorical data.
Mode ² ² ² ² ² ² ²
It is the most typical value within a set of data. Its value is easy to determine. It is not affected by outliers. It is the only measure suitable for categorical data. There may be no mode, or more than one mode, in a data set. It may not be a central value. When comparing random samples of the same size, taken from a large population, the mode is the measure which varies the most.
Median ² It is easy to understand - there are equal numbers of scores above and below it. ² It is not affected by outliers since its value depends on the number of scores above and below it, not the values of these scores. ² ² ²
It is not suitable for categorical data. For some unusual patterns of scores it may not be a central value. For example, 0, 1, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5. When comparing samples, it varies more than the mean but much less than the mode. 100

MEASURES OF DISPERSION
100
Consider the two sets of data 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 0, 1, 5, 9, 10. For both sets the mean is 5. However it is obvious that these sets of scores are quite different in nature. The first set of scores are closely grouped around the mean but the second set are quite scattered from the mean. Hence, as well as having a central value for a set of scores, it is useful to have some measure of the scatter, or spread, of the scores. Such measures of spread are called measures of dispersion and we will investigate some of these next.

INTERQUARTILE RANGE
The range is used in some situations such as measurement of temperature, height, length, blood pressure etc. but has the major disadvantage that it depends only on the extreme values of the data. The extreme values can be atypical scores, such as the 70 in Example 1c above, often caused by an error of measurement. In these cases the range is of little use. To avoid this problem we sometimes find the difference between two numbers which are not at the extremes of the data. One such measure is called the interquartile range. We are already familiar with the concept of the median which divides the data into two parts, with an equal number of scores in each. In the same way we can find scores which divide the data into four parts, with equal numbers of scores in each. These scores are called quartiles. Each set of data has three quartiles, the lower, the middle (this is the median) and the upper, usually denoted by Q1 , Q2 , Q3 respectively. The interquartile range is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles, i.e., interquartile range = Q3 ¡ Q1 .
EXAMPLE
1
Find the lower, middle and upper quartiles of the scores given and hence find the interquartile range: a 2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7 b 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6 c 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 a Write down the scores in numerical order: First find the median (2nd quartile): n+1 2 =4 Hence, the median is the 4th score, i.e., Q2 = 5 We can show this on a diagram
2 2 3 5 6 6 7 " Q2
Note that the median divides the data into two parts with three scores in each. The lower part contains the scores 2, 2, 3. The lower quartile is the score which divides this set into two parts with the same number of scores in each, i.e., it is the middle score of this set. Hence, Q1 = 2. The upper part contains the scores 6, 6, 7. The upper quartile is the score which divides this set into two parts with the same number of scores in each, i.e., it is the middle score of this set. Hence, Q3 = 6. 2 2 3 5 6 6 7 It is useful to show this on a diagram " " " Q1 Q2 Q3

Note: ² For a relatively large number of scores 25% of the scores are less than Q1 and 75% are greater than it. 50% of the scores are less than Q2 and 50% are greater than it. 75% of the scores are less than Q3 and 25% are greater than it. Hence the interquartile range contains the middle 50% of the scores. ² The interquartile range gives an indication of the spread of the scores from the median. The greater its value, the greater is the spread from the median. A relatively smaller value indicates that the scores are more closely clustered around the median. ² The interquartile range has an advantage over the range in that it is not affected by atypical extreme scores. For example, in Example 1a, if the last score was 70 instead of 7 then the range changes from 5 to 68 whereas the interquartile range is unaffected by this outlier.

In the term test, the results of Kelly’s class had a median of 65 and an interquartile range of 20. In Sean’s class the median was 65 and the interquartile range was 12. From the information given, what conclusions could be made about the results of these two classes? The median mark in both classes is 65. Hence, half of each class scored less than 65 and half scored more than 65. However, the interquartile range of Sean’s class is smaller than that of Kelly’s. This indicates that the marks in Sean’s class are more closely clustered around the median than the marks in Kelly’s class. (Or, the marks in Kelly’s class are more spread out from the median.)

DECILES
5
0
A natural and useful extension of the concept of quartiles is to divide the data into 10 parts with equal numbers of scores in each. The scores which separate these 10 parts are called deciles. Decile 1 is the score which has 10% of the scores below it and 90% above it. Decile 2 is the score which has 20% of the scores below it and 80% above it. Decile 3 is the score which has 30% of the scores below it and 70% above it. etc. (Decile 5 is the median) The concept of deciles is usually only applied to large sets of data.

Add another scale to the vertical axis and divide this scale into 10 equal parts. The deciles can be found as shown on the graph.
75
From the ogive, decile 1 = 13, decile 4 = 27, decile 9 = 48 i.e., 10% of the scores are less than 13 (and 90% greater than 13) 40% of the scores are less than 27 (and 60% greater than 27) 90% of the scores are less than 48 (and 10% greater than 48)

The middle 50% of the scores lie between 18 and 45. Since the median is closer to the upper quartile than to the lower quartile, then the top half of the scores are clustered closer to the median than the bottom half.

STANDARD DEVIATION
While the interquartile range is a better measure of the spread of a set of scores than the range, its weakness is that its value also depends on only two scores, the upper and lower quartiles. A more commonly used measure, whose value depends on all the scores, is the standard deviation.
25
5
Standard deviation is determined by finding the distances of all the scores from the mean and then calculating an “average” of these distances.
0
In the same way as the mean, mode and median are “typical” scores of the set of data, standard deviation is a “typical” distance of the scores from the mean. The smaller the standard deviation, the smaller the “typical” distance of the scores from the mean, i.e., the smaller the spread of the scores. Standard deviation can be calculated using an algebraic formula but it is simpler and quicker to use the statistics mode on a scientific calculator.
EXAMPLE
1
Find the standard deviation of the scores 2, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1, 4. Possible calculator steps for a CASIO calculator are (check the instruction booklet for your calculator)
MODE and the appropriate key for statistics functions on your calculator then SHIFT AC to clear the contents of the memory then 2 M+ 3 M+ 5 M+ 1 M+ 4 M+
4 M+
6 M+
5 M+ 2 M+ 1 M+
to enter the scores.
To obtain the standard deviation of the scores press the key labelled
sn .
sn is pronounced sigma n.
In this case we get ¾n = 1:7 (to 1 d.p.) This is the typical distance of the scores from the mean (= 3:3). Note that there is another key on the calculator labelled sn-1 . This is another kind of standard deviation which we will investigate a little later.

ANOTHER TYPE OF STANDARD DEVIATION
75
In the same way as there are different types of averages, there are also two types of standard deviation. 25
5
0
The standard deviation we have been calculating above is called the population standard deviation and is obtained by using the *sn key on the calculator. It can be shown, however, that when ¾n is found for a sample taken from a large population, its value tends to underestimate the standard deviation of the whole population. For large numbers of scores there is very little difference between the values of ¾n¡1 and ¾n .
For this reason the algebraic formula for standard deviation is altered slightly and this value, denoted by ¾n¡1 and called the sample standard deviation, is used when determining the standard deviation for a sample. ¾n¡1 may be determined, on a calculator, using a similar method to that for ¾n .
EXAMPLE
1
A random sample of 50 sixteen year old boys was selected and their weights measured. The results are shown in the given table. Find the mean and standard deviation for this data.

The process of statistical enquiry includes the following steps: Step Step Step Step Step Step
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:
posing questions (designing questionnaires) collecting data (sampling techniques) organising data (frequency tables, stem and left plots, etc.) summarising and displaying data (summary statistics, graphs) analysing and drawing conclusions writing a report.
Use the above outline and the content and skills you have learnt in previous chapters on statistics to investigate and write a report for a major statistical investigation. Some suggestions are made below. 1 Find the characteristics of the average person in your year. You could consider personal characteristics such as sex, height, weight, etc. as well as social interests, income, family background, drive, etc. Does this average person exist? 2 Investigate how Year 11 students spend their leisure time. You could consider what, where, male/female, when, how often, cost, etc.
100
3 Conduct the appropriate research to find the viability of setting up a small business. You could consider need, location, cost, competition, etc. Use information supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. 4 Investigate the future aspirations of Year 11 students at your school. You could consider expected HSC results, vocations, full-time/part-time work, type of tertiary institution, area of study, expected income in 1, 5, 10 years, live at home/move out, etc.

From the above investigation you should have discovered that ² ²
the corresponding angles of similar figures are equal the lengths of the corresponding sides of similar figures are in the same ratio.
“In the same ratio” is sometimes written as “in proportion”.
The value of this ratio is equal to the scale factor.

SCALE DRAWINGS 100
The object of making a scale drawing is to draw a figure similar to the original, i.e., the shape of the original is maintained by making the angles the same and the lengths in the same ratio as the original. The scale factor from the length on the drawing to the real length is simply called the scale of the drawing. The scale may be expressed as a ratio such as 1 : 1000, or a fraction such as words such as 1 centimetre to 10 metres.

Is it cheaper to build a new house or buy an existing house? You could consider the price of land, the cost of building a home and the price of existing properties. Gather information from newspapers about current prices. Investigate the cost of different house plans - are extras such as carpet, fences and paths included in the price? Investigate council charges, solicitor’s fees, etc. Write a short report on your preferred option.

As the distance increases the cost increases.
As a change in the number of kilometres travelled causes a change in the cost, then distance travelled (in kilometres) is the independent variable and the cost is the dependant variable. This means that a change in distance travelled means there must be a change in cost. 6 The cost of hiring a taxi is $3.00 flag fall and $2.40 per kilometre travelled. a Copy and complete the table of costs of taxi hire. b Draw the graph showing the cost of hiring the taxi. c How much does it cost to travel 35 km? d How far can you travel for $15? 7 The cost of hiring a night-time taxi is $5.00 flag fall and $3.20 per kilometre travelled. a Copy and complete the table of values of taxi hire. b Draw the graph showing the cost of hiring the taxi. c How much does it cost to travel 15 km? d How far can you travel for $75? 8 The distance d kilometres, travelled by a train over time t hours, is given by d = 90t. a Copy and complete this table of values.

GRADIENT AND INTERCEPT
The words slope and gradient are used when talking about the steepness of a line graph. Gradient or slope is associated with house roofs, escalators, hills etc. The steeper the slope the larger the gradient. In order to compare the slopes in different situations there is a standard approach
i.e., slope =
vertical rise horizontal run

DIRECT VARIATION
The gradient and intercept of linear graphs have meaning in practical situations. This section examines these practical applications. A relationship that gives a straight line when graphed is a direct relationship between the two variables.
EXAMPLE

LINE OF BEST FIT
Sometimes, especially in scientific experiments, the information in a table may not lie exactly on a straight line. If the information appears to be linear then we can draw the line of best fit for the information. If the data is entered into a graphics calculator then the calculator will find the line of best fit with the gradient and intercept. A spreadsheet will do this as well.

The gradient is 2:96 and the intercept is 1:14, so the equation is y = 2:96x + 1:14 . If a spreadsheet or a graphics calculator are not available, then find the gradient using a triangle and rise over run. The intercept can be read off the y-axis after extrapolating (extending) the line. In this case the answer is: gradient is 3, intercept is 1, and so the equation is y = 3x + 1.

PYTHAGORAS’ THEOREM
75
In a right-angled triangle, the length of the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. 25
5
a2 = b2 + c2
a b
0
The hypotenuse is opposite the right-angle. It is always the longest side in a right-angled triangle.
c
The value of this theorem, known to the ancient Greeks, is that if we know the lengths of any two sides of a right-angled triangle then we can calculate the length of the third side. Also, if we know the lengths of the three sides then we can determine whether or not the triangle is right angled.

NAMING THE SIDES OF RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES In a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right-angle is called the hypotenuse. For further work, in trigonometry, the other sides are given names in relation to the other angles of the triangle as shown:

Relative to the angle marked xo : AB is the side which is opposite the angle. It is called the opposite side. CB is the side which is adjacent to the angle. It is called the adjacent side.
Adjacent means “next to”.

DEFINING THE TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS

2 Carefully measure the length of the hypotenuse (H), opposite side (O) and adjacent side (A) for the angle of 40o , in each triangle. O A O 3 Copy the table shown. By calculation, correct Triangle H H A to 1 decimal place, complete the table. 1 2 3 4 Draw any other right-angled triangle with a 40o angle and use it to calculate the ratios in the table above. Add these results to your table. 5 Discuss the answers in each column of the table. From the investigation above, you should have discovered that for a 40o angle in a right-angled triangle, the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse (expressed as a decimal) is always the same, irrespective of the size of the triangle. (The value of this ratio is approximately 0:6) This result is true for any given angle, i.e., if we drew right-angled triangles with a 56o angle then the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse would always be the same (approximately 0:8 for a 56o angle). Since the ratio is constant for a given angle then it is given a name. It is called the sine (abbreviated sin) of the angle. In a right-angled triangle, the sine of an angle xo is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse. This may be written sin xo =
opposite hypotenuse
&=
O * H
100
95
Similarly, from above, the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse is constant for any given angle. This ratio is called the cosine (abbreviated cos) of the angle.
75
In a right-angled triangle, the cosine of the angle xo is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse. This may be written 25
cos xo =
adjacent hypotenuse
&=
A * H

Again, from above, the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side is constant for any given angle. This ratio is called the tangent (abbreviated tan) of the angle.
100
95
In a right-angled triangle, the tangent of an angle xo is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. This may be written
