Number made each week1827234

This week, Môr-Dda plans to take a sample of the buoys it makes to check on the quality of their production.
It plans to take a stratified sample of 12 buoys, based on the type of buoy.

Calculate the number of each type of buoy that should be included in the sample.
You must show all your working. [4]

(b) The design for a new buoy is shown below.
It is made up of a cone attached to a hemisphere.

The base radius of the cone and the radius of the hemisphere are both 2 m.

Buoy: a cone on top of a hemisphere, radius 2 m, with the total height of the buoy marked

Diagram not drawn to scale

From the formula list: Volume of sphere \(= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\);   Volume of cone \(= \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)

The total volume of this new buoy is \(10\pi\) m3.
Calculate the total height of the buoy. [5]

Total height of the buoy = …………………… m
