Instructions to candidates:
DO NOT OPEN THIS QUESTION PAPER UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
Answer all questions. Answers may be written in either English or Bahasa Malaysia.
All necessary working should be shown clearly.
Non-exact numerical answers may be given correct to three significant figures, or one
decimal place in the case ofangles in degrees, unless a different level ofaccuracy is specified in
the question.
Mathematical tables, a list ofmathematical formulae and graph paper are provided
(Kertas soalan ini terdiri daripada 7 halaman bercetak dan 1 halaman kosong.)
(a) State, with reasons, which is an eulerian graph and which is not. [3 marks]
(b) Find an eulerian circuit for the eulerian graph. [2 marks]
2 If a simple graph has n vertices where n ~ 2, show that at least two vertices are of the same
degree. [4 marks]
Give a counter example to show that the result is not true for a graph which is not a simple
graph. [2 marks]
3 The line which passes through the points A(-6, -1, -7) and B(6, 3, 1) cuts the plane
3x - y + 2z = 5 at the point P. Show that the points A and B are on the opposite sides of the plane,
and find the ratioAP: BP. [6 marks]

7 (a) Explain briefly why it is advisable to plot a scatter diagram before interpreting a Pearson
correlation coefficient for a sample of bivariate distribution. [2 marks]
(b) Sketch a scatter diagram with five data-points for each of the following cases.
(i) The Pearson correlation coefficient oftwo variables is close to 0 but there is an obvious
relation between them. [1 mark]
(ii) The Pearson correlation coefficient of two variables is close to 1 but there is no
linear relation between them. [1 mark]
8 The lengths of petals taken from a particular species of flowers have mean 80 em and
variance 30 em'. Determine the sampling distribution of the sample mean if 100 petals are chosen
at random. [3 marks]
Hence, find the probability that the sample mean is at least two standard deviations from the
mean. [3 marks]
9 It is found that 5% of doctors in a particular country play golf. Find, to three decimal places,
the probability that, in a random sample of 50 doctors, two play golf. [2 marks]
\
Hence, state the sampling distribution of the proportion of the doctors who play golf, and
construct a 98% confidence interval for the proportion. [5 marks]
10 A fanner wishes to find out the effect ofa new feed on his calves. The average weight gain of a
calf on the original feed in a month is normally distributed with mean 10 kg. In a particular month,
the fanner gives the new feed to 16 calves. It is found that the average weight gain of a calf on the
new feed is 11.5 kg with a standard deviation of 2.5 kg. "'
(a) State appropriate hypotheses for a significant test. [2 marks]
(b) Carry out the test at the 5% significance level. [7 marks]

11 In a psychological study, 50 persons are asked to answer four multiple-choice questions. The
answers obtained are compared with the predetermined answers. The data is recorded as a frequency
distribution as follows:
Frequency 10 15 8 5 12
A psychologist suggests that the data fits the following probability distribution.
(a) Calculate the expected frequencies based on the probability distribution. [2 mark5]
(b) Determine whether there is significant evidence, at the 5% significant level, to reject the
suggestion. [8 marks]
12 A study is carried out to determine the effect of exercise frequency on lung capacity. The
exercise frequency in weeks is denoted by X and the percentage increase in lung capacity by Y.
The data obtained from 10 volunteers are summarised as follows:
}:x = 319, }:x 2 = 11 053, }:y = 530, }:y2 = 30 600, }:xy = 18055.
(a) Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient and describe the relationship between
X and Y. [5 marks]
(b) Calculate the coefficient of determination and interpret its value. [2 marks]
(c) Find the equation of the regression line in the form y = a + bx, where a and b are correct
to two decimal places. [4 marks]
(d) Predict the mean value ofthe percentage increase in lung capacity ifthe exercise frequency
is 25 weeks. State your assumption in obtaining the predicted value. [2 marks]
