QUESTION 3.

(a) Derive the decay and growth equations. - (5 MARKS)


(b) The population of a certain country is known to increase at a rate proportional to
the number of people presently living in the country. If after four years the
population has tripled and after six years the population is 1,500,000.
i) Estimate the number of people initially living in the country.
ii) Estimate the number of people living in the country after 10 years time. -
(8 MARKS)
(c) A tree disease is spreading throughout a large forested area. The rate of increase
in the number of infected tree is modelled by the differential equation;

dN/dt = kN-1(N-2), N>2 where N is the number of infected trees, t is the


time in days since the disease was first identified and k is a positive constant.
Solve the differential equation above and show that the general solution can be
written in the form, N = 1/(1-Aekt) - (12 MARKS)

(a) Choosing class intervals of 49-53, 54-58 and so on, build a grouped frequency distribution
table for the information. - 8 MARKS

(b) Calculate the mean, mode and median of this distribution. - 6 MARKS

(c) Calculate the standard deviation of the distribution and find the interval one standard
deviation about the mean. - 4 MARKS
Construct the ogive of the above distribution and from your graph estimate the quartiles from
your graph. - 7 MARKS

NOTE:

Estimated Mean = Sum of (Midpoint × Frequency) / Sum of Frequency

Estimated Median = L + (N/2) − B ×w

where:

L is the lower class boundary of the group containing the median

N is the total number of values

B is the cumulative frequency of the groups before the median group

G is the frequency of the median group


w is the class width or interval.

Estimated Mode = L + fm − fm-1 ×w

(fm − fm-1) + (fm − fm+1)

where:

L is the lower class boundary of the modal group

fm-1 is the frequency of the group before the modal group

fm is the frequency of the modal group

fm+1 is the frequency of the group after the modal group

w is the class width or interval.

Estimated Variance = (∑fx2 / ∑f) - (∑fx/∑f)2


Estimated Standard Deviation = √ ( (∑fx2 / ∑f) - (∑fx/∑f)2 )
