YEAR 12 MATHEMATICS
STUDYING NCEA LEVEL 2 MATHS

This book has been written for you to practise NCEA Level Two- type assessments. Nine chapters have
been designed to match the nine achievement standards at this level.
Each chapter begins with a schedule of the requirements for that achievement standard. As you read
down each schedule, you will see that the challenges become more complex.
In most chapters a preliminary set of exercises has been provided to set in motion the set of skills
required for the achievement objectives. Once you think that you have mastered the skill set progress
onto the first model assessment.
For external achievement standards allow 45 - 60 minutes.
For internal achievement standards allow 4-5 hours as these are more project orientated.
Check the solutions, and if yours do not quite match these, rework your calculations, or check with
friends or teachers until you are satisfied.
Attempt the second model assessment 1-2 weeks later to see if the themes you covered still click.
Again, check the solutions at the back of the book with yours. Remember, you can still learn from your
mistakes .... this side of the final exams.
It is worth recognising that in Year 12 your mathematics may appear to have begun at a roundabout.
It introduces new themes which seem to go down different roads. One of the strengths of this subject,
however, is that these themes or roads are connected, though this may not be evident just yet.
Therefore as you are being assessed in discrete themes or standards, try to develop an eye for the
bigger picture. As always mathematics is about solving problems and finding patterns and reasons.
Hopefully your experiences this year will provide you with confidence and judgement for future
challenges.

QUESTION TWO
A suburb in a major city has been infected by a foreign moth which could have devastating effects on
neighbouring farms and forests. An aerial spray campaign is launched where an aeroplane flies over the area
and spreads an insecticide, which though fatal to the moth is harmless to humans and other creatures.
The formula M = M0(0.85)t gives the number of moths (M) in the spray zone t days after the plane has sprayed.
M0 is the initial number of moths that the Ministry officials believe were in the zone. If they believe that 800
moths were present in the zone, how many days after spraying would it take the population to fall to 500
moths?

Together the floor (width) and the heights of the two walls have a total
length of 5.6m.
Find the width of the floor which will allow the greatest flow of
stormwater through the cross-sectional area shown. Also, give this
maximum cross-sectional area.

THE SITUATION
A newspaper claims that recent significant earthquakes seemed to strike more often in the early hours of
the morning rather than at any other time of the day.
YOUR TASK
Your local newspaper editor has asked you to check this claim and estimate which times of the day of an
arbitrarily chosen year had the most quakes.
YOU NEED TO:
a.
Choose a sampling method and use it to obtain a representative sample of at least 30 significant
earthquakes.
b.
Describe your sampling process clearly so that someone else can follow it.
c.
Justify your choice of sampling method by describing the decisions made and the reason for these
decisions.
d.
List the data for your sample that you gathered from the data sheet.
e.
Explain whether your sample is actually representative of your population or not. (You do not have
to select another sample if it is not.)
f.
Check appropriate statistics for your sample and use this to estimate when in the day there were
significant earthquakes.
g.
Write a short paragraph outlining what you have found (from your estimates), and what you could
conclude about when a significant earthquake occurred. Comment on the reliability of your estimate
and therefore your conclusion.
h.

the farm.
By selecting a sample of the ropes:
1.
Choose a sampling method and use it to design a sampling process to obtain a representative sample
of at least 30 shellfish ropes. Explain your process clearly so that someone else could follow it.
2.
Justify your choice of sampling method taking into account the population and considerations of
bias. You may like to describe any decisions you made and the reasons for these decisions.
3.
Use your sampling process to select a sample of shellfish ropes.
4.

The Good Garden Bag Company provides large bags for people to put their garden clippings into. These
large bags are then collected once a month and replaced by an empty bag. The clippings are tipped into a
truck which compacts then transports the clippings to a composting site.
The collectors on each truck monitor the clippings they pick up - they suspect that 10% of the bags will
have bamboo, while 25% will contain flax. When either bamboo or flax is discovered the homeowner is
given a warning letter which advises them to refrain from placing either of these (forbidden) items in their
bag.
The Good Garden Bag company asks you to investigate the situation. They believe that the presence of
bamboo and flax are independent of each other. (Both bamboo and flax are not wanted since these two
plants do not break down very readily and they may jam the auger at the composting plant).
SECTION A
Design a way to simulate the bag collection of a randomly selected truck, to find out how many of the next
80 homeowners will need to be given the written warning letter.
You need to:
1.
a. Describe a method you use in sufficient detail so that another person could repeat it again with
your help.
b. Carry out at least 80 trials of the simulation.
c. Record the result of each trial of the simulation, e.g. in a table.

The operators also gather evidence on the masses of the bags they collect. The maximum limit for each
bag should be 100 kg because manoeuvring these down driveways and paths to a truck can be very

This model assessment is in two parts.
PART A
1.
You and some other students go to a local park near your school. On a level piece of ground your
teacher has marked out a large four sided area. You have been given tape measures, magnetic
compasses, trundle wheel and alidade.
2.
From a reference point, X, inside this quadrilateral, you must begin your measurements. Note that
the point X is not allowed on any sides nor any diagonals of the quadrilateral.
3.
You draw the quadrilateral and include point X.
4.
Using the equipment, from point X, complete a radial survey. Indicate the measurements you will
need to take to calculate the area of the quadrilateral and mark these on your diagram.
NOTE
Usually you need to draw your diagram from scratch. If you use the diagram given, the highest grade
you will be awarded is Achievement. For the purpose of continuing PART A, assume that you have
drawn the shape below (to scale) and it is 1: 1500.

As the contractors explore the old drainage pipe, they find that there is a thick layer of sludge and
sediment which covers the bottom of the pipe.
The radius of the pipe (OP or OQ) is known to be 1.25 m.
a. If the distance across the top of the sediment (i.e. chord
) is
2.24 m, then calculate the area of the cross-section of the

sediment (shown by the shaded area on the diagram).
b. Assume this measurement is the average width of the sediment in
the pipe. Also assume that the pipe runs along the longer of the
two diagonals you calculated in #1.
What volume of sediment is the pipe holding?

This model assessment is in two parts.
PART A
1.
As part of a measuring task, a class of Year 12 students met their teacher at the local ice skating
rink. There they were paired up and given the measuring task, with a measuring tape and, of course,
ice skates!
An arbitrary point, Q, on the blue line was given to them by the teacher. They had to measure and
record the lengths needed to find the angle pLQR. (Every student pair had a different location for
Q.)
A triangle is set with Q at one corner, on the blue line, and the other two corners, L and R, as the
goal posts.
NOTE:
If a pair of students couldnt identify the measurements which they needed to take, they
were supplied with a help sheet. This usually has the diagram of the triangle LQR,
supplied with labels L, R and Q.
If students use the help sheet, then the highest grade which they can be awarded for
this task is Achievement.
At the end of the session the measurements are usually handed in to the teacher.

For the position given (to one pair of students) and the measurements provided, calculate the angle
in the triangle on the blue line, pLQR.

Near each goal line there are two face off spots. Each face off spot is the centre of a circle
with a 4.57 metre radius.
A sponsor usually paints their logo or one of their products inside these
circles before big games are played. One sponsor who imports sports
gear has painted a sports helmet inside the circle, and centred it at
the face off spot, O.

Just as the students are completing their measurements, an ice hockey team arrives for a training
session. The class decide to watch them practise. During one of the drills a player attempts to flick
the puck into the back of the net. (The height of the goal is 1.22 m.)
The player stands to the side of the goal mouth, so that the puck is:
3.5 metres
from the goal line.
4.9 metres

Millie hears a click - clack sound while riding her bike. She dismounts
and finds a small tack has embedded itself into the rubber tread.
She knows that her bike wheel has a 66 cm diameter and once she is
home, she turns it and observes how the tack on the tyre rotates around
the central wheel hub.
The height (H) of the tack relative to the centre hub may be given by:
H = 33 sin (45t)E
H = height in centimetres.
t = time in seconds after the wheel begins to rotate.

While watching her piano being tuned, Millie notices a tuning fork for the note Middle C. The pure tone of

the amplitude (loudness) is 0.6.
The speed of the vibrations suggests the number of cycles per second cannot be detected by us.
What is the least amount of time taken for the tuning fork to reach a loudness of 0.45?

Making A the subject of each equation:
107 449 + B log(1.5)
= 64 011 + B log (10.5)
107 449 - 64 011 = B log (10.5) - B log (1.5)

Perimeter is 2x + 2y = 108
Area is xy (we need to optimise this)
Use the perimeter formula and make one of the
variables the subject
2y = 108 - 2x
y = 54 - x
Substititute this whole expression into the Area.
This leaves just one variable to contend with.
A = xy
= x (54 - x)
= 54x - x2
Differentiate
A! = 54 - 2x
Solve A! = 0 to find maximum or minimum
54 - 2x = 0
x = 27m
Substitute back into original equation
y = 54 - 27
= 27m
Since x = y = 27m, the rectangle is a square.

Though it is physically possible to test all the items in this

population of earthquakes, it is not essential, as a sample of
about 30 is a useful representation of the population. Also,
with the random function on the calculator (though it is not
truly random) we are generally satisfied that each quake in
the population had the same chance of selection in the
sample. This simple random sampling method, though reliant
on the generated random numbers, has provided 30
selections. If doubts rise over its authenticity, the exercise
could readily be repeated with another simple random
sample.
157
The evenness of this distribution would suggest that quakes

can occur at any time including the early hours of the
morning and the latest hours of the night. Though random
sampling may be time consuming, we return to the theme,
that ignoring the vagaries of calculator random programming,
every earthquake in the population had the same chance of
selection for the sample.
Pearson developed a measure of skewness of a distribution.
Skew
=
=
= -0.528
Since the co-efficient of skewness generally lies between -3

and +3, this suggests that the distribution of the sample times
tend to negative skewness, so a few early hours are pulling
the mean away from the median.
Page 81 - 83 SAMPLE STATISTICS, PRACTICE TEST 2
Note, this is a possible solution only.
The layout of the shellfish farm suggests that an all in
sample may not provide the most representative 30 selections
from the population. One possibility is to look at five possible
strata.
If this sample of 30 could be represented in a stem and leaf

plot these sample statistics of earthquake times would result.
LQ = 07 21, UQ = 19 12, median = way between
13 13 hours and 14 14 hours (13 43 )
The box and whisker plot of this sample would look like:
Box Plot of Earthquake Times During Day
(sample n = 30)
Based on these proportions:

The top row should have
The left group should have
From this sample it would appear that the times are skewed
slightly to the later end of the day with a medium time of
13 : 43 : 30
The mean of the sample 0 . 12 26 and the standard deviation
of the sample . 7hr 18 min. This would support the above
result (box plot) with both the mean and median appearing as
p.m. times for this sample.
The distribution of the time in this sample appears to have a
reasonably even spread, i.e.
00 h - 09 h
12 quakes
10 h - 19 h
12 quakes
20 h - 23 h

Take a simple random sample of each strata / group in the

population. Note each site is already numbered
e.g. Top end:
Assign the first two digits from the random number
generator of your calculator starting at (e.g. 4+5) 9th
number.
Disregard any numbers > 45 or < 01
Ignore repeated numbers ().

Apply the same technique (using 3 digit numbers) to each of
the other four strata, with sensibly applied numbering to suit
each case. The goal is to finish with a total sample size of at
least 30 shellfish sites
Visually this Box and Whisker Plot of the sample is:
Example of possible strata selections:
The distribution is skewed with the median placed in the

upper end of the interquartile range. The middle 50% of
the sample has a mass between 240 kg and 407 kg.

It is physically possible to have used the whole

population, but it is too time consuming, and a sample
such as this has attempted to represent the whole
population. Also, with the areas of the shellfish farm split
into strata, each sub-area is catered for and the
randomness of the selection process, again is dependent
on the generated random number function from the
calculator.
= -0.889
The data is negatively skewed with the smaller masses
pulling the mean away from the median. The masses of
the shellfish lines are quite spread out. Both mean and
median point towards the mid 300 kg mass, so if the
owners of the farm were looking for a conservative
estimate of the mass of their crop, they should tend
towards the lower statistic of the two.
Another sample could produce a similar result, or not, but
the exercise could readily be repeated. It is important to
consider the sites of the areas and which are closer to
sea, to shore, to nutrients, affected more by weather etc.
Therefore the strata sampling would still be a sensible
option for this farm.

3. Note: Example comment only. The simulated results have
lower values than the corresponding theoretical results.
The random feature of a calculator is not truly random,
but generated therefore a second sample of 80 numbers
could have more than the theoretical values. Also there is
no allowance in the theoretical case whether an operator
who is monitoring these items, actually misses them in a
particular bag (or bags)(i.e. human error).
