The finite region, S shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded
by the curve with equation
x 2 ln x
y= − 2x + 5 ,

the line x = 1, the x-axis and the line x = 3.
The table below shows corresponding values of x and y.

(a) Use the trapezoidal rule, with all the values of y in the
table, to obtain an estimate for the area of S,
giving your answer to 3 decimal places. [3 Marks]
(b) Explain how the trapezoidal rule could be used to obtain
a more accurate estimate for the area of S. [1 Mark ]
(c) Show that the exact area of S can be written in the form
a
+ ln c , where a, b dan c are integers to be found.

7. A telesales operator is selling a magazine. Each day he
chooses a number of people to telephone. The probability
that each person he telephones buys the magazine is 0.1.
(a) State a suitable distribution to model the number of
people who buy the magazine from the telesales
operator each day. [ 1 Mark]
(b) On Tuesday, the telesales operator telephones 10
people. Find the probability that he sells at most 4
magazines. [3 Marks]
(c) Calculate the least number of people he needs to
telephone on Wednesday, so that the probability of
selling at least 1 magazine on that day is greater than
0.95. [ 4 Marks]
