Every sheet in December 2018

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

  1. 1st December 2018A bar chart shows the bar for 'Bus' with height 40 and the bar for 'Walk' with height 25. How many more pupils travel by bus than walk?
  2. 2nd December 2018A stem-and-leaf diagram has rows: 0|5 8, 1|2 2 6, 2|1. How many data values are there in total?
  3. 3rd December 2018For 80 data values, at what cumulative frequency do you read across to find the lower quartile?
  4. 4th December 2018Two neighbouring regions on a choropleth map are shaded the same colour. What can you conclude about their values?
  5. 5th December 2018Which percentile is the same as the median?
  6. 6th December 2018A spreadsheet shows the formula =SUM(F1:F5)/COUNT(F1:F5) in cell F6. What statistical measure does this formula calculate?
  7. 7th December 2018State two things that should be decided during the planning stage of the enquiry cycle.
  8. 8th December 2018State whether interviewing shoppers face-to-face about their favourite supermarket is primary or secondary data collection.
  9. 9th December 2018For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  10. 10th December 2018A 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?
  11. 11th December 2018A 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)?
  12. 12th December 2018A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  13. 13th December 2018A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  14. 14th December 2018Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  15. 15th December 2018A 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).
  16. 16th December 2018A 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?
  17. 17th December 2018Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  18. 18th December 2018A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  19. 19th December 2018Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  20. 20th December 2018A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  21. 21st December 2018A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  22. 22nd December 2018A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  23. 23rd December 2018A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?

  27. 27th December 2018Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  28. 28th December 2018An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  29. 29th December 2018An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  30. 30th December 2018Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  31. 31st December 2018A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
