Every sheet in April 2021

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

  1. 1st April 2021State two things that should be decided during the planning stage of the enquiry cycle.
  2. 2nd April 2021State whether interviewing shoppers face-to-face about their favourite supermarket is primary or secondary data collection.
  3. 3rd April 2021For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  4. 4th April 2021A 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?
  5. 5th April 2021A 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)?
  6. 6th April 2021A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  7. 7th April 2021A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  8. 8th April 2021Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  9. 9th April 2021A 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).
  10. 10th April 2021A 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?
  11. 11th April 2021Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  12. 12th April 2021A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  13. 13th April 2021Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  14. 14th April 2021A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  15. 15th April 2021A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  16. 16th April 2021A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  17. 17th April 2021A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?
  18. 18th April 2021A city's population grows from 50,000 to 52,000 in one year. Find the percentage rate of change.
  19. 19th April 2021A company has 60 male and 90 female employees (150 total). A stratified sample of 30 employees is taken. How many males should be sampled?
  20. 20th April 2021Using the same table (0:4, 1:10, 2:4, 3:2), find the total number of students.
  21. 21st April 2021Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  22. 22nd April 2021An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  23. 23rd April 2021An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  24. 24th April 2021Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  25. 25th April 2021A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
  26. 26th April 2021On a population pyramid, which axis shows the age groups?
  27. 27th April 2021A 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?
  28. 28th April 2021A 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?
  29. 29th April 2021Find the median of 8, 3, 15, 3, 10.
  30. 30th April 2021A 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.
