QUESTION 10

Ernie Els is practising his golf from the top of a cliff at Pinnacle Point. The path of the
x2
ball can be modelled by f (x ) = −
x
+ + 30 , where x represents the horizontal
1 000 5
distance that the ball travelled in metres. f (x ) represents the height of the ball above
the ground. Ernie hits the ball from point A. The ball meets the ground at point B.

QUESTION 11
a) The findings of a survey to investigate the correlation between Mathematics
results and Mathematics extra lessons are indicated in the table below.

A Aʹ
80% or more Less than 80% TOTAL
for Maths for Maths
B Extra Mathematics 240 560 800
lessons
No Extra
Bʹ Mathematics 60 140 200
lessons

TOTAL 300 700 1 000

Extra Mathematics teachers claim that learners who take extra Mathematics
lessons are more likely to get more than 80% for Mathematics than those who
don’t. Are they correct? Justify your answer with the necessary calculations to
test for independence. (4)
