1. In April Anna and Maria went together to Spinning. Maria bought a monthly season ticket. Anna bought a 5-card and then used single payments. During the month they found time to go for Spinning 8 times. Which one of them paid the least and how much less did she pay (2/0)

Spinning Single payment 5-card Monthly ticket

40 kr 175 kr 300 kr

Suggested solutions: Maria C Maria = 300 SEK Anna: C = 175 + (8 5) 40 SEK = 175 + 120 SEK Anna: C Anna = 295 SEK Anna paid C Anna = 295 SEK and Maria C Maria = 300 SEK . Therefore, Anna paid 5 SEK less.
C = 175 + (8 5) 40 SEK = 175 + 120 SEK

In general if the total number of visits to the gym is taken to be n . The total cost per month of such a case would be
C = 175 + (n 5) 40 SEK = 175 + 40 n 200 SEK = 40 n 25 SEK
400 350 300 C [SEK] 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 4 8 12 n 16 20 24

C = 40 n 25 SEK

C = 40 n 25 SEK

C Maria = 300 SEK

As the graph illustrates clearly, up to and including 8 number of visit per week the Annas combination is cheapest. So If you are going to use the gym more than 8 times per month, by a monthly card.

At the aspect assessment of your work with exercise 8 the teacher will consider what mathematical knowledge you have shown and how well you have carried through the task how well you have explained your work and motivated your conclusions how well you have accounted for your work.

Titanic
Late at night the 14th of April 1912 Titanic in high speed collided with an iceberg and sank. At the accident 2 223 people were on board. After the collision it took two and a half hour before Titanic sank. Therefore there was plenty of time to enter the lifeboats but there was not room for all the passengers. Unfortunately only about half of the lifeboats were used and therefore more than 1 500 people died.

8.

In the table below the numbers of rescued and dead in the accident are given. The diagrams on the next page are based on this table.
1st class Dead Rescued Total 123 201 324 2nd class 166 118 284 3rd class 528 181 709 Crew 695 211 906 Total 1 512 711 2 223

How many percent of the people on board were rescued? Use data from the table and show how two of the percentages in diagram B have been calculated. The diagrams A and D show among other things the part of dead among the crew. Explain why the parts in percent are different. In a newspaper it was after the accident stated that first of all passengers from first class were rescued. Which diagram or diagrams would you as a journalist choose to support this statement? Motivate your choice. Criticism was also given towards the shipping company that the crew first of all had saved themselves. Imagine that you are a representative of the shipping company. Which diagram or diagrams would you choose to defend the shipping company against the criticism. Motivate your choice.

9. The mean of five different positive integers is 17 and the median is 20. How large can the largest of the five numbers at the most be? Explain how you got your answer.

[1/2/ ]
Suggested Solutions: Data: mean = 17 , median = 20 , Five numbers : n = 5 The total sum of the numbers must be:
total = n (mean ) = 5 17 = 85

[1/0]

The numbers may be assumed to be: a, b, 20 c, d such that 0 < a < b < 20 < c < d The median = 20 is taken to be the middle number. The problem may be written as:
a + b + 20 + c + d = 85 a + b + c + d = 85 20 = 65 a + b + c + d = 85 20 = 65

[0/1]

Due to the fact that we would like to find the highest possible positive number that satisfy the condition a + b + c + d = 65 , and due to the fact that [] 0 < a < b < 20 < c < d , we may assume a = 1 , b = 2 and c = 21 . Therefore:
a + b + c + d = 65 1 + 2 + 21 + d = 65 24 + d = 65 d = 65 24 = 41

Answer: The largest of five different positive integers whose median = 20 and
mean = 17 is d = 41

Johanna fills coffee with a temperature of 92 C into a thermos. She then puts the thermos

outdoors where the temperature is 15 C. To describe how the temperature y C of the coffee changes with the time x hours she investigates two different models. Formula for model A: y = 92 7x Formula for model B: y = 92 0.93 a. b.
x

Calculate the temperature of the coffee after three [2/0] hours by formula A and by formula B. Describe in everyday language what formula A respectively formula B says about how the temperature goes down. Investigate how many hours model A respectively model B can be valid.

[0/2] [1/2/]

c.

Suggested solutions: a. The temperature of the coffee after three hours are: By formula for model A: y = 92 7 (3) = 92 21 = 71C y = 71C [1/0] By formula for model B: y = 92 0.933 = 74C y = 74C b. [1/0]

Formula A: y = 92 7x describes the temperature of the coffee in C as a decreasing linear function of time (in hour). According to this model temperature of the coffee decreases by 7C every hour after the temperature is filled by a coffee at initial temperature of 92C . [0/1]

Formula B: y = 92 0.93 x describes the temperature of the coffee in C as a decreasing exponential function of time (in hour). According to this model temperature of the coffee decreases by 7% every hour after the temperature is filled by a coffee at initial temperature of 92C . [0/1] c. As illustrated in the figure, 100 90 model A is an unrealistic 80 y = 92 0.93 representation according to this 70 60 model the temperature of the 50 y = 92 7x coffee is 15C only after eleven 40 30 hours. The temperature drops to 20 below the temperature of the 10 surrounding afterwards. It starts 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 -10 0 even freezing after 12.5 h . The x [h] model B on the other hand is valid and realistic for 25 hours, after this point it drops below 15C which is non-physical and therefore unrealistic. [1/2/]
