Every sheet in July 2003

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

  1. 1st July 2003For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  2. 2nd July 2003A 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?
  3. 3rd July 2003A 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)?
  4. 4th July 2003A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  5. 5th July 2003A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  6. 6th July 2003Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  7. 7th July 2003A 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).
  8. 8th July 2003A 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?
  9. 9th July 2003Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  10. 10th July 2003A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  11. 11th July 2003Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  12. 12th July 2003A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  13. 13th July 2003A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  14. 14th July 2003A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  15. 15th July 2003A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?
  16. 16th July 2003A city's population grows from 50,000 to 52,000 in one year. Find the percentage rate of change.
  17. 17th July 2003A company has 60 male and 90 female employees (150 total). A stratified sample of 30 employees is taken. How many males should be sampled?
  18. 18th July 2003Using the same table (0:4, 1:10, 2:4, 3:2), find the total number of students.
  19. 19th July 2003Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  20. 20th July 2003An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  21. 21st July 2003An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  22. 22nd July 2003Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  23. 23rd July 2003A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
  24. 24th July 2003On a population pyramid, which axis shows the age groups?
  25. 25th July 2003A 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?
  26. 26th July 2003A 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?
  27. 27th July 2003Find the median of 8, 3, 15, 3, 10.
  28. 28th July 2003A 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.
  29. 29th July 2003A scientist tests a new plant food but only uses it on the healthiest-looking plants. Explain why this is a flawed design.
  30. 30th July 2003The frequencies for four class intervals are 6, 9, 11, 4. Find the total number of data values.
  31. 31st July 2003In a pie chart representing 120 people, 30 people chose 'Yes'. What angle represents 'Yes'?
