Question 1

[Maximum number: 18]

This question considers how the assessment of the Air Quality Index (AQI) for a school depends on the method chosen by the person doing the assessing.
Air quality for a district is measured at three monitoring stations. The positions of these stations on a coordinate system with units in kilometres are A(0,5), B(8,9) and C(8,1).
A Voronoi diagram is constructed with the three stations as sites.

Question image

Question 1(a)

Question 1(a)(i)

(a)
(i)

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [BC].

[ 2 ]

Question 1(a)(ii)

(ii)

Given that the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [AB][\mathrm{AB}] is y=15-2 x, find the coordinates of vertex V.

A school, S, is situated in the district at the point with coordinates (5,6).

[ 2 ]

Question 1(b)

(b)

State which station is closest to the school.

The principal of the school is concerned about the air quality in the area. Air quality is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI). In this district, values less than 50 are taken to indicate good air quality.

The principal contacts the local environmental agency requesting an AQI value for her school. They tell her the mean AQI reading from the closest station to the school.

[ 1 ]

Question 1(c)

(c)

Write down the type of interpolation being used by the environmental agency.

The principal obtains the mean AQI value from each of the three stations.

[ 3 ]

Question 1(e)(iii)

(iii)

Hence find aBa_{B} (the area of region Q on the diagram).

The areas of regions P and R are aA=13.7 km2a_{A}=13.7 \mathrm{~km}^{2} and aC=6.9 km2a_{C}=6.9 \mathrm{~km}^{2} respectively.

[ 5 ]

Question 1(f)

(e)

Use the natural neighbour algorithm to show that an estimate for the expected AQI value at the school, W, is 94.4.

The principal is still concerned that this method is underestimating the AQI value at the school, as the school is situated close to a busy traffic intersection. She decides to take her own readings ( x ) over a period of 60 days. Her results are summarized as

xˉ=97.8,sn1=17.2,n=60.\bar{x}=97.8, s_{n-1}=17.2, n=60 .

The principal assumes that the daily AQI values at the school can be modelled by a normal distribution and that each value is independent of any other value.

A child's game is played by making paths in the snow. First, two circular paths are made using the same centre, O .
