Every sheet in January 1995

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st January 1995State whether interviewing shoppers face-to-face about their favourite supermarket is primary or secondary data collection.
  2. 2nd January 1995For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  3. 3rd January 1995A pictogram key shows 1 symbol = 6 cakes. A row has 1 symbol and a third of a symbol. How many cakes does the row represent?
  4. 4th January 1995A spinner with sections A, B and C is spun alongside a fair coin. How many outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(getting C and Heads)?
  5. 5th January 1995A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  6. 6th January 1995A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  7. 7th January 1995Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  8. 8th January 1995A box has 4 chocolate and 6 plain biscuits. One biscuit is eaten (it was chocolate), then a second is taken at random. Find P(second is chocolate given first was chocolate).
  9. 9th January 1995A pictogram uses one whole apple symbol to represent 10 apples sold, but one row shows a half apple symbol with no key given for partial symbols. Why could this be misleading?
  10. 10th January 1995Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  11. 11th January 1995A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  12. 12th January 1995Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  13. 13th January 1995A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  14. 14th January 1995A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  15. 15th January 1995A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  16. 16th January 1995A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?
  17. 17th January 1995A city's population grows from 50,000 to 52,000 in one year. Find the percentage rate of change.
  18. 18th January 1995A company has 60 male and 90 female employees (150 total). A stratified sample of 30 employees is taken. How many males should be sampled?
  19. 19th January 1995Using the same table (0:4, 1:10, 2:4, 3:2), find the total number of students.
  20. 20th January 1995Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  21. 21st January 1995An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  22. 22nd January 1995An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  23. 23rd January 1995Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  24. 24th January 1995A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
  25. 25th January 1995On a population pyramid, which axis shows the age groups?
  26. 26th January 1995A box plot shows a long whisker on the left and a short whisker on the right, with the median close to the right of the box. What type of skew does this suggest?
  27. 27th January 1995A survey of 30 shoppers out of 900 in a store found the mean amount spent was 18.50 pounds. What is the best estimate of the mean amount spent by all 900 shoppers?
  28. 28th January 1995Find the median of 8, 3, 15, 3, 10.
  29. 29th January 1995A school of 600 students wants a sample of 30. A teacher decides to only survey students in her own class of 30. State one problem with this method.
  30. 30th January 1995A scientist tests a new plant food but only uses it on the healthiest-looking plants. Explain why this is a flawed design.
  31. 31st January 1995The frequencies for four class intervals are 6, 9, 11, 4. Find the total number of data values.
