Quantitative Assignment :

Scenario 1: If a colony were to be established on Europa, how long would it take to travel there and what should be the maximum age of the colonists on departure from Earth? Questions:

1. Using the relationship between distance, speed and time, calculate the maximum and minimum distances from Earth to Europa in metres. Express your answer in metres using scientific notation.
2. Calculate the time taken for a space shuttle to travel from the Earth to Europa using scientific notation. Express your answer in hours and in years.
3. Explore at least two alternatives to help decide the maximum age of a colonist on departure

Scenario 2: Determine if there is a relationship between temperature and ice cream sales and provide evidence of differences between each location. How would the agent present the relationships (if present) and/or differences between locations to prospective buyers?

Questions:

1. Describe the relationship between sales and temperature for each location using an equation and a graph. Show your working when you calculate the equation for each relationship.
2.  Use a statistical measure to determine how strong each relationship is.

Which location is most influenced by temperature? Explain the evidence for this.

Scenario 3: Explore this set of data and devise a way to present it to the regional health community group to help support the need for more GPs in the region.

Questions: 

1. Prepare a frequency distribution graph of the 3 groups of data on a single chart.
2. Summarise the data for each category of health professionals using mean and the associated measure of spread
3. Compare the three groups of data
4.  What other types of data would need to be collected to help support the argument about the need for more GPs in the region (no need to collect these data or find examples on the
