a. To plot a scatter diagram, we need to plot the given X and Y values as individual points on a graph, where X values are taken as horizontal axis and Y values are taken as vertical axis. The scatter diagram shows the relationship between two variables.

b i. To calculate x?, the mean of X, we add up all the X values and divide by the number of values, i.e., x? = (14+16+17+18+22+24+27+28+31+33) / 10 = 23.

Similarly, to calculate ?, the mean of Y, we add up all the Y values and divide by the number of values, i.e., ? = (22+19+15+13+10+12+3+5+3+2) / 10 = 11.

b ii. To calculate x?1, we need to find the X values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the X values given, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are below x? = 23. So, x?1 = (14+16+17+18+22) / 5 = 17.4.

Similarly, we need to find the corresponding Y values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the Y values given, corresponding Y values for the X values 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are 22, 19, 15, 13, and 10 respectively. So, ?1 = (22+19+15+13+10) / 5 = 15.8.

c. To draw the line of best fit, we need to plot the points (x?, ?) and (x?1, ?1) on the scatter diagram and then draw a straight line passing through these two points. The line should be such that it has an equal number of points above and below it.

d i. From the scatter diagram, we can see that there is a negative relationship between X and Y. As X increases, Y decreases.

d ii. To determine the value of Y when X is 20, we can draw a vertical line from the point X = 20 on the X-axis to the line of best fit. From the point where the line intersects the Y-axis, we can read off the value of Y, which is approximately 12.

The question is asking to express vectors →OP and →OQ in terms of i and j, where 6i + 8j is parallel to →OP and 8i - 6j is parallel to →OQ. We are also given the magnitudes of →OP and →OQ, which are 80 units and 120 units respectively.

To express →OP and →OQ in terms of i and j, we can simply multiply the scalar component of each vector by its respective unit vector. Thus, →OP = 80/10 (6i + 8j) = 48i + 64j, and →OQ = 120/10 (8i - 6j) = 96i - 72j.

To find the magnitude of →PQ, we can use the formula |→PQ| = |→OQ - →OP|. Substituting the values we obtained earlier, we get |→PQ| = |(96i - 72j) - (48i + 64j)| = |48i - 136j|. To simplify this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle with sides a and b and hypotenuse c, a² + b² = c². Thus, |→PQ| = √(48² + (-136)²) = √20800 = 40√13. Therefore, the magnitude of →PQ is 80√29 units, which is in the form c√k where c = 40 and k = 13.
