4.1 No, an average is not guaranteed to persist. If he were to take his yearly average and apply that to a given week it might be more reliable, but to use a single week s average to try to predict future performance is not wise. In the short run almost anything can happen one could have a good or bad week. It does not make sense to base statistics on a few short-term observations. (3) 4. No, the results are not completely reliable. Firstly, testing the product while the women are at a spa is misleading. The results of the spa treatment can not easily be separated from the results of the face cream. Secondly, there are too few people in the test group to make any deductions. What seems true for six people may not apply on a larger scale. The women might also have responded positively for emotional and psychological reasons.

3.1 n () 3. 9 (1) 3.3 Tiles added = n 1 (3) 3.4 With each layer we add on, we make a bigger square. This means that the sum of n layers (odd numbers) is n. This tells us that the sum of n odd numbers is n. Sum of 8 000 odd numbers = 8 000 = 64 000 000 () 3.5 This is almost the same as the sequence in 3.4, except each term is 1 larger. This means that the whole sum will be a total of 8 000 larger. Sum to 8 000 = 64 000 000 + 8 000 = 64 008 000 Note: A general term for the sum of this sequence would be S n = n + n, or S n = n(n + 1). () 7
1 53 1 4.1 Midpoint AC = ;; = 1;; () 34 31 1 4. Midpoint BD = ;; = 1;; AC and BD share a midpoint and therefore they bisect each other. This means that ABCD is a parallelogram (diagonals bisect).

(ABCD is a gm) AB = 3( = )1 1( )4 9 AD = ( 3 ( 3)) ( 1 ( 3)) = 40 Adjacent sides are not equal and therefore parallelogram ABCD is not a rhombus. (3) b) Diagonals of a rhombus bisect at 90. Using gradients: m AC = )5(3 8 = 1 3 m BD = )3(1 4 = )3(4 7 m BD m AC 1, so diagonals are not perpendicular. Parallelogram ABCD is therefore not a rhombus. (3) 8
4.4 m AD = )3(3 6 = )3(1 = 3 m DC = )5(3 = 3 5 Since m DC m AD 1, there is no right angle between AD and DC. Since ABCD does not have four right angles, it cannot be a rectangle. (4) 5. Triangle 1 The longest side in a right-angled triangle is always the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the hypotenuse is not the longest side, which is impossible. If we try to solve for x using Pythagoras, we will not be able to find a solution because the triangle does not make sense. Triangle In this triangle, the sum of the angles is not 180 (9 + 63 + 90 = 18 ). This triangle also does not make sense. If we try to use trig ratios to solve for x, we will get a slightly different answer depending on which angle we use. This is because a right-angled triangle can not have a 9 angle and a 63 angle these angles would belong to different triangles, hence the two different answers.
