Advertising. A television advertising campaign is conducted during the football season to promote a well-known brand X shaving cream. For each of several weeks, a survey is made, and it is found that each week, 80 % of those using brand X continue to use it and 20 % switch to another brand. It is also found that of those not using brand X , 20 % switch to brand X while the other 80 % continue using another brand. (A) Draw a transition diagram. (B) Write the transition matrix. (C) If 20 % of the people are using brand X at the start of the advertising campaign, what percentage will be using it 1 week later? 2 weeks later?

Task number: A1.1, A1.7
Topic: Celestial Navigation, Compass - Magnetic and Gyro
Activ Determine compass error (magnetic and gyro) using azimuth choosing a suitable
celestial body (Sun/ Stars/ Planets/ Moon). Apply variation to find the deviation of the magnetic
compass.
Minimum number of times that activity should be recorded: 6 (2 each phase)
Sample calculation (Azimuth- Planets):
On 06th May 2006 at 22h20m 10s UTC, a vessel in position 48°00'N 050°00'E observed Mars bearing
327° by compass. Find the compass error. If variation was 4.0° East, calculate the deviation.

Determine compass error using amplitude (Sun).
Minimum number of times that activity should be performed: 3 (1 each phase)
Sample calculation (Amplitude- Sun):
On 07th May 2006 at Sunset, a vessel in position 10°00'N 010°00'W observed the Sun bearing 288°
by compass. Find the compass error.

Declination Sun:
N 016° 56.1'
Sin Amplitude = Sin Declination/Cos Latitude
= Sin 016°56.1'/ Cos 10°00'
= 0.295780189
Amplitude=W17.2N
(The prefix of amplitude is named easterly if body is rising,
and westerly if body is setting. The suffix is named same
as declination)
True Bearing=287.2°
Compass Bearing= 288.0°
Compass Error = 0.8° West
