There will be 5 rows and 5 columns to


match the seating. Every seat of both
diagonals is occupied, and so the
diagonals will all be ones, and the rest of
the numbers, representing unoccupied
seats, will all be 0.

We can present this as a table with the


girls on the top row, and the boys on the
bottom row, in order of year level, i.e.
years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 going from
left to right.

110 117 98 89 53 33
Alternatively, girls and boys could be
the two columns, and year levels could
run down from year 7 to 12, in order.
This would give:

Matrices are equal only if they have the


same number of rows and columns, and all
pairs of corresponding entries are equal.
The first two matrices have the same
dimensions, but the top entries are not
equal, so the matrices cannot be equal.
The last two matrices have the same
dimensions and equal first (left) entries,
so they will be equal if x = 4.
Thus, [0 x] = [0 4] if x = 4.
The first two matrices cannot be equal
because corresponding entries are not
equal, nor can the second and third for
the same reason.
The last matrix cannot equal any of the
others because it has different
dimensions. The only two that can be
equal are the first and third.

Let A, B, C and D be the columns and


rows, in that order.
There are no roads from A to A, so the top
left entry will be 0. There are 3 roads from
A to B, so the next entry right will be 3.
There is 1 road from A to C and no roads
directly from A to D, so the next two
entries right will be 1 and 0.

The entry corresponding to x is 2, and


the entry corresponding to y is 3, so
x = 2 and y = 3.

The entry corresponding to x is 3, and


the entry corresponding to y is 2, so
x = 3 and y = 2.

The entry corresponding to x is 4, and


the entry corresponding to y is 3,
so x = 4 and y = 3.

The entry corresponding to x is 3, and


the entry corresponding to y is 2,
so x = 3 and y = 2.

As the matrices have the same


dimensions, corresponding terms can be
added. They will simply be added in the
opposite order.
Since the commutative law holds true for
numbers, all corresponding entries in the
added matrices terms will be equal, so the
matrices will be equal.
As the matrices have the same
dimensions, corresponding terms can be
added. The first matrix will add the first
two numbers, then the third, and the
second matrix will add the second and
third numbers first, then add the result to
the first number.
Since the associative law holds true for
numbers, all corresponding entries in the
added matrices terms will be equal, so the
matrices will be equal.

A product is defined only if the number


of columns in the first matrix equals the
number of rows of the second.
A has 2 columns and Y has 2 rows, so
AY is defined.
Y has 1 column and A has 2 rows, so
YA is not defined.
X has 1 column and Y has 2 rows, so
XY is not defined.
X has 1 column and 2 rows, so X 2 is not
defined.
C has 2 columns and I has 2 rows, so CI
is defined.
X has 1 column and I has 2 rows, so XI
is not defined.

This gives n = 1 , or n = 1.
If n = 1, a = d and b = b, which gives
b = 0 and similarly c = 0.

ab 1
a(bc d)(ab 1) + y(ab 1) = c(ab 1)
ab 1
abc ad + y(ab 1) = abc c
y(ab 1) = abc c abc + ad
y(ab 1) = c + ad
y = ad c

x(ab + b + bc) = bc(a + b + c)
xb(a + b + c) = bc(a + b + c)
x = bc(a + b + c)
b(a + b + c)

b is a multiple of 3.
But this contradicts the assumption that

as a and b are both multiples of 3.
Therefore the initial assumption must be
incorrect and 3 is not a rational

Substitute d = 12 a.

Note: in cases like this, it is sometimes
easier to call the terms a d, a, a + d.
22 The middle terms will be tn and tn + 1.
tn = a + (n 1)d
tn + 1 = a + nd
tn + tn + 1 = 2a + (2n 1)d
n(tn + tn + 1) = n(2a + (2n 1)d)

The maximum speed will be the height


of the triangle.

There are 2 leaves on the '6' stem, so


two months.

2
a

There are 7 leaves on the '3' stem, and 2


leaves on the '4' stem.
7 + 2 = 9 batteries.

3
a

The distribution is approximately


symmetric. There are outliers at the high
end, but these can be ignored.

5
a

There are 2 leaves on the '6' stem and


one leaf on the '7' stem, so 3 students.

As a histogram, this would have a short


tail to the left and a long tail to the right,
so the distribution is positively skewed.

Both distributions are approximately


symmetric and have a similar spread.
Fathers tend to have ages centred in the
late 40s, compared to mothers who tend
to have aged centred in the early 40s.

From the slope, we predict a 10.2
minute decrease in response time for
each 1 mg of drug given.

This isn't realistic, as relief would be

Both variables must be numeric. This


applies to D only. 'Year 9' and 'Year 11',
while appearing to be numerical, are
really categorical.
D

The data should be linear with no


outliers. In B, there is no relationship
between the variables; C has an outlier,
and A and D are not linear.

weak positive relationship.

There are 18 points. Draw a vertical line


midway between the 9th and 10th from
the left and midway between the 9th and
10th from the bottom.

Looking at the graph, it's clear that there


is a strong positive correlation, but not a
perfect positive correlation.
0.75 r 1 is the range for a
strong positive correlation, so r = 0.8
is the closest fit.
B

The data suggest a strong positive


correlation, since food expenditure
generally increases with weekly income.
r = 0.8 is the closest fit (this can be
confirmed using a calculator).

Bar charts are used to display frequency


distributions of categorical data. The
only categorical data in this question is
option C.
C

Histograms are used to display


frequency distributions of numerical
data. The only numerical data in this
question is weight measured in kg. A

The histogram has a short tail to the left


and a long tail to the right, so it is
positively skewed. It has an outlier at
x = 14.
E
17 students travel 20 or less 20 km to
school, while 16 travel more than 20
km, so option D is true.
D
Adding up the number of leaves on the
right gives 30 students.
C

There are 7 'leaved' in the 2, 3 and 4


'stems', so 7 students failed.
B

10% of 30 students is 3 students. The


top three marks are 86, 90 and 93, of
which the lowest is 86.
D

If turned on its side, the plot would


be a histogram with a short tail to the
right and a slightly longer tail to the
right, so it is negatively skewed.
C

Most scores on the left are on the 2


'stem', while most scores on the right
are on the 2 and 3 stems. This shows
that, in general, scores improved
after the test.
B

10 The scores on the left are spread more


widely up and down the range, while the
scores on the left are more tightly
centred on the 6 and 7 stems.
This suggests that the pulse rates of
those who exercise are less variable than
those who don't exercise.
D
11 The new mark will go next to the
median, or could replace the median,
which will still be 50.
B
12 Neither the maximum nor the minimum
will change, so the range will still be
70 20 = 50.
B
13 Since the mean is 50, it will not
be changed by adding another score
of 50.

16 If the median is less than the mean, the


ages in the second half of the data are
likely to be higher than those in the first
half. This suggests the data may be
negatively skewed.
C
17 The boxplot shows that there is
significantly more data above the
mean than below it. This means the
distribution is positively skewed.
B
18 The histogram is positively skewed,
which generally means that the mean
is larger than the median.
E
19 The boxplot shows a negatively skewed
distribution with much more variability

Option B is the closest fit to this

B
20 The third quartile is the median of the
upper half of the distribution.
If the woman is in this quartile, it

B
21 Scatterplots are used to display bivariate
numerical data. Both sets must be
numerical, and this is only the case in
B and D. However, D is not bivariate, as
the data cannot realistically be arrayed
as a unique set of points.

25 r = 0.7 is a moderate positive linear


relationship, so an increase in the first
variable will usually mean an increase in
the second variable.
Therefore we can say that countries with
high smoking rates also tend to have
high rates of heart disease.
C

26 r = 0.35 is a weak positive linear


relationship.
The scatterplot is a curve rather than a
line, so there probably is a relationship,
but since r is low then it is unlikely to be
linear.
C
27 A negative correlation means that as
values of x increase, values of y tend to
decrease.

If xy = 0, x could be non-zero if y = 0.

A B = is actually true whenever A


and B have no elements in common.
For instance, if A = {2, 4, 6} and
B = {8, 10}, A B = .
The statement is therefore false.

If A' = , then it contains all the elements


under consideration. A' therefore
contains no elements, as all the elements
are in A, so A' = .
The statement is therefore true.

If p is even, it is a multiple of 2, and pq


will also be even.
If pq is even and q is even, then p may
be odd.
p is even pq is even

This is only true if A and B have no


common elements. If there is any
overlap, the union will be smaller.
For instance, if A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} and
B = {6, 8, 10}, n (A B) = 5.
Since it's not always true, the statement
is false.
Consider the element x, which is an
element of A. Since A is a subset of B,
x is also an element of B.
This is true for every x, so the set of
elements that are in both A and B will be
the same as every element in A.
xAxB
xABxA

The statement is therefore true.

a

n (A B) = 8 n (A) = 5 and n (B) = 3


This would mean that if the union of
A and B has 8 elements, A would have
5 elements and B would have 3 elements.
However, there are many other possible
combinations that would fit; for instance,
if A had 8 elements and B = , their union
would also have 8 elements.
The statement is therefore false.

AB=AAB
This would mean that if the intersection
of A and B is equal to A, then A is an
element of B.
Since the intersection contains all the
elements the two sets have in common,
and it is equal to A, then all the elements
of A are elements of B, which means
A is an element of B.
The statement is therefore true.

A = or B = A B =
The empty set contains no elements, so
it therefore has no elements in common
with any other set. This means that the
intersection of an empty set and any
other set will also be an empty set.
The statement is therefore true.

A = A' =
If A' = , then it has no elements, which
means A contains all the elements. The
identity set contains all the elements,
so A = .
The statement is true.
Swap the sides to find the converse:
n2 is odd implies n is odd.
Odd numbers can never have even
factors, so the root of an odd number
must always be an odd number.
Therefore the statement is true
(assuming that n is an integer).
Swap the sides to find the converse:
N 2 is divisible by 9 N is divisible by 3.
Since 32 = 9, this is the same as saying
N 2 is divisible by 32 N is divisible by 3.
A number's factors are squared if the
original number is squared.
Therefore the statement is true
(assuming that N is an integer).
Swap the sides to find the converse:
x2 > 4 x < 2
x2 will be greater than 4 if x is less than
2, but it will also be true if x is greater
than 2.
Since the first part does not only lead to
the second part, the statement is false.
Let the three odd numbers be 2n + 1,
2n + 3 and 2n + 5.
Their sum = 2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5
= 6n + 9, which will be
divisible by 3 if n is an integer.
We can therefore say "The sum of three
consecutive odd numbers is divisible by 3."
Let the four odd numbers be 2n + 1,
2n + 3, 2n + 5 and 2n + 7.
Their sum = 2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n
+ 5 + 2n + 7
= 8n + 16, which will be
divisible by 8 if n is an integer.
We can therefore say "The sum of four
consecutive odd numbers is divisible by 8."

The converse is:


x = y implies x = 0 and y = 0.
x and y could be any numbers, not just
zero, e.g. 10 = 10, so this is false.

The converse is:


x = y implies x + y = 0.
Subtracting any number from itself
always gives a result of zero,
e.g. 10 10 = 0, so this is true.

The converse is:


xy is even implies x is even and y is odd.
If x and y were both even, xy would also
be even, e.g. 8 6 = 48, so this is false.

The converse is:


A perfect square being even implies its
square root is even.
Multiplying two even numbers always
produces an even number, while
multiplying two odd numbers always
produces an odd number.
An even perfect square will thus always
be created by multiplying an even
number by the same even number,
e.g. 64 = 8 8, so this is true.

N
Thus 2 will have exactly N + 1 factors,
N1
will have exactly N factors.
and 2
Thus numbers can be found with any
number of factors, including 1, since
20 = 1 has exactly one factor.
The statement is true for all odd
numbers.

The same argument used in part b


applies to all numbers, not just odd
numbers, so the statement is true.

Since the above argument works for any


prime number, and there is an infinite
number of prime numbers, there will be
an infinite number of numbers with
exactly N divisors, for all natural
number values of N.
The statement is true.

The converse is:


a > b implies a b is positive.
Subtracting a smaller number from a
larger number always gives a positive
result, e.g. 10 3 = 7, so this is true.

For any natural number N, if a is a


divisor, there will be a corresponding
natural number divisor N . This will be
a
distinct from a in every case except
N = a2.
Thus if N is not a perfect square, there will
be an even number of factors. If N is a
perfect square, there will be a set of pairs
of factors as above, and an additional
factor equal to the square root of N.
Thus N will have an odd number of
divisors if and only if it is a perfect
square.
The statement is true.

14 This is one proof. There may be others.


Any number (except 1) that consists of
all 1s can be written as 100n + 11,
where n is an integer.
All integers can be written as 10m + a,
where m is any integer and a is any
integer from 0 to 9 inclusive.
2
2
2
(10m + a) = 100m + 20am + a
2
Since this is a multiple of 10 plus a ,
2

the last digit of a must be 1.


The only values of a that satisfy this
requirement are a = 1 and a = 9.
If a = 1,
2
2
(10m + a) = 100m + 20m + 1
2
= 100m + 10 2m + 1
In this case, the second last digit must be
even and cannot equal 1.
If a = 9,
2
2
(10m + a) = 100m + 180m + 81
2
= 100m + 100 + 10 8m + 81
Again, the second last digit must be
even and cannot equal 1.
Therefore, if any number ending in 1 is
a perfect square, its second last digit
must be even, and it therefore cannot
consist of all 1s, unless it is 1.

other variable.
Try x = 0: 3y = 1 has no integral
solutions.
Try x = 1: 11 + 3y = 1 has no integral
solutions.
Try x = 2: 22 + 3y = 1 has the solution
y = 7.
The HCF of this solution is 1.
The general solution will be
x = 2 + 3t, y = 7 + 11t, t Z
An obvious solution is x = 1, y = 0.
The HCF of this solution is 1.
The general solution will be
x = 1 + 7t, y = 2t, t Z
Any even value of y will give a solution.
If y = 2, x = 8.
x = 8 + 7 t, y = 2 2 t, t Z

To get integer solutions, replace t by 2t.
x = 8 + 7t, y = 2 2t, t Z

This equation is equivalent to


8x + 21y = 33.
It is also obvious that y must be odd, and
x must be a multiple of 3.
y = 5 gives the solution x = 9.
x = 9 + 21t, y = 5 8t, t Z

This is the same equation as in part a,


hence the solution will be the same.
x = 2 + 3t, y = 7 + 11t, t Z

Any even value of y will give a solution.


If y = 2, x = 4.
The HCF of this solution is 2.
The general solution will be
x = 4 + 7 t, y = 2 2 t, t Z

To get integer solutions, replace t by 2t.
x = 4 + 7t, y = 2 2t, t Z

This is the same equation as in part e,


hence the solution will be the same.

If x and y are both positive, then the left


side must be at least 11 + 3 > 1.
There are no solutions such that x and y
are both positive.

If x and y are both positive, then the left


side must be at least 24 + 63 = 87.
Any increase in either x or y will make
the left side too large.
There are no solutions such that x and y
are both positive.

Write the equation as


2x = 22 7y
x = 11 7

If y = 2, x = 4.
If y = 4, x = 3, and any larger values of
y will make the left side of the equation
negative.
There is one solution: x = 4, y = 2.

Let h be the highest common factor of a and b.


a, b and c can be written as a = hp,
b = hq, c = hr + k, where 0 < k < h.
The equation becomes hpx + hqy = hr + k.
For all integer values of x and y, the left
side of the equation will be a multiple of
h, while the right side will not.
Therefore the equation can have no
integral solutions.

This equation simplifies to 4s + 3b = 27.


4s = 27 3y

s = 3(9 b)

Solutions will only exist when 9 b is a
multiple of 4, and b > 0, 9 b > 0.
This occurs when b = 1, s = 6 and when
b = 5, s = 3.
The answer could be written '3 spiders
and 5 beetles, or 6 spiders and 1 beetle.'

Consider the value of the two types of

10 Let the required number be x.


If it leaves a remainder of 6 when
divided by 7, then x = 7n + 6.
If it leaves a remainder of 9 when
divided by 11, then x = 11m + 9.
7n + 6 = 11m + 9
7n 11m = 3
One solution is n = 2, m = 1.
The general solution is n = 2 + (11)t,
m = 1 7t.
Replacing t with t gives n = 2 + 11t,
m = 1 + 7t.
t = 0 gives n = 2, m = 1, x = 7 2 + 6 = 20.
The smallest positive number is 20.
The general form is
x = 7n + 6
= 7(2 + 11t) + 6

11 Let x be the number of 5-litre jugs used


and y the number of 3-litres jugs used.
5x + 3y = 7
5x = 7 3y
x = 7 3y

Solutions will only exist when 7 3y is
a multiple of 3.
This occurs when y = 1: x = 7 + 3 = 2

To measure exactly 7 litres, you would
pour two full 5-litre jugs into a container
and then remove one 3-litre jugful.
12 Obviously the post office can't sell 1c or
2c worth of postage. Nor can it sell 4c or
7c worth, because there's no way to
arrange 3c and 5c to get those values.
It can sell 6c worth (3 + 3 = 6) and 8c
worth (3 + 5 = 8).

So the problem can be rephrased as


3x + 5y = n, n 8
where x is the number of 3c stamps and
y the number of 5c stamps.
If n = 8, 3x + 5y = 8; the obvious
solution is x = 1, y = 1.
If n = 9, 3x + 5y = 9; the obvious
solution is x = 3, y = 0.
If n = 10, 3x + 5y = 10; the obvious
solution is x = 0, y = 2.
Since this set of three can be made using
3x + 5y, the next set of three amounts
(11, 12, 13) can be made as 3x + 5y + 3,
or by adding another 3c stamp.
Similarly, every set of three consecutive
amounts can be made by adding an
additional 3c stamp.
Therefore it's possible to create all
amounts in excess of 3c, except for 4c
and 7c.
13 Consider total cost.

First, let Toms age be t and Freds age


be f.
Since it appears Tom is older than Fred,
and we must look at the time when Tom
was Freds age, we will define d as the
difference in ages, specifically how
many years Tom is older than Fred.
t=f+d
t + f = 63
(f + d) + f = 63
2f + d = 63
When Tom was Freds age, d years ago,
Fred was aged f d.
Tom is now twice that age, 2(f d).
t = 2(f d)

t = 2( f d )

Since t = f + d,
f + d = 2(f d)
= 2f 2d
3d = f
Substitute f = 3d into 2f + d = 63.
6d + d = 63
