Every sheet in November 2015

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

  1. 1st November 2015For 80 data values, at what cumulative frequency do you read across to find the lower quartile?
  2. 2nd November 2015Two neighbouring regions on a choropleth map are shaded the same colour. What can you conclude about their values?
  3. 3rd November 2015Which percentile is the same as the median?
  4. 4th November 2015A spreadsheet shows the formula =SUM(F1:F5)/COUNT(F1:F5) in cell F6. What statistical measure does this formula calculate?
  5. 5th November 2015State two things that should be decided during the planning stage of the enquiry cycle.
  6. 6th November 2015State whether interviewing shoppers face-to-face about their favourite supermarket is primary or secondary data collection.
  7. 7th November 2015For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  8. 8th November 2015A 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?
  9. 9th November 2015A 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)?
  10. 10th November 2015A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  11. 11th November 2015A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  12. 12th November 2015Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  13. 13th November 2015A 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).
  14. 14th November 2015A 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?
  15. 15th November 2015Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  16. 16th November 2015A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  17. 17th November 2015Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  18. 18th November 2015A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  19. 19th November 2015A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  20. 20th November 2015A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  21. 21st November 2015A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?
  22. 22nd November 2015A city's population grows from 50,000 to 52,000 in one year. Find the percentage rate of change.
  23. 23rd November 2015A company has 60 male and 90 female employees (150 total). A stratified sample of 30 employees is taken. How many males should be sampled?
  24. 24th November 2015Using the same table (0:4, 1:10, 2:4, 3:2), find the total number of students.
  25. 25th November 2015Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  26. 26th November 2015An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  27. 27th November 2015An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  28. 28th November 2015Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  29. 29th November 2015A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
  30. 30th November 2015On a population pyramid, which axis shows the age groups?
