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

  1. 1st May 2024Which percentile is the same as the median?
  2. 2nd May 2024A spreadsheet shows the formula =SUM(F1:F5)/COUNT(F1:F5) in cell F6. What statistical measure does this formula calculate?
  3. 3rd May 2024State two things that should be decided during the planning stage of the enquiry cycle.
  4. 4th May 2024State whether interviewing shoppers face-to-face about their favourite supermarket is primary or secondary data collection.
  5. 5th May 2024For the ordered data 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, find the interquartile range.
  6. 6th May 2024A 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?
  7. 7th May 2024A 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)?
  8. 8th May 2024A class interval is 20-30 with frequency 8. Give the coordinates of the point plotted for this class.
  9. 9th May 2024A time series shows sales peaking every December for five years in a row. What is this repeating pattern called?
  10. 10th May 2024Express a risk of 1/20 as a percentage.
  11. 11th May 2024A 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).
  12. 12th May 2024A 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?
  13. 13th May 2024Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  14. 14th May 2024A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  15. 15th May 2024Find the 3-point moving average of 10, 14, 18.
  16. 16th May 2024A bag has only red, blue and green counters. P(red) = 0.5 and P(blue) = 0.2. Find P(green).
  17. 17th May 2024A histogram has bars of equal width. True or false: the height of each bar represents the frequency for that class.
  18. 18th May 2024A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  19. 19th May 2024A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, 13, 99. Which value is most likely an outlier?
  20. 20th May 2024A city's population grows from 50,000 to 52,000 in one year. Find the percentage rate of change.
  21. 21st May 2024A company has 60 male and 90 female employees (150 total). A stratified sample of 30 employees is taken. How many males should be sampled?

  23. 23rd May 2024Two classes sit the same test. Class P: mean 70, range 10. Class Q: mean 55, range 30. Write a full comparison.
  24. 24th May 2024An item has an index number of 88 compared to its base year. State whether the value has increased or decreased, and by what percentage.
  25. 25th May 2024An event has a probability of 0.2 of happening. What is the probability that it does not happen?
  26. 26th May 2024Using the relative frequency from the spinner above, estimate how many times it would land on blue in 300 spins.
  27. 27th May 2024A spinner has P(win) = 0.3. It is spun twice, independently. Find the probability of winning both times.
  28. 28th May 2024On a population pyramid, which axis shows the age groups?
  29. 29th May 2024A 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?
  30. 30th May 2024A 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?
