Every sheet in July 2026

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 2026State one change a researcher might make to a questionnaire as a result of a pilot survey.
  2. 2nd July 2026State whether 'shoe size' is discrete or continuous, and explain why.
  3. 3rd July 2026Group A has 18 items with mean 62. Group B has 22 items with mean 70. Find the combined mean.
  4. 4th July 2026A tally shows 4 full groups of five plus 2 extra marks for one category. What is the frequency?
  5. 5th July 2026A composite bar chart shows exam grades at a school: the bar has a section from 0 to 10 for Grade 9-7, a section from 10 to 34 for Grade 6-4, and a section from 34 to 40 for Grade 3-1. How many students got Grade 6-4?
  6. 6th July 2026Using the diagram from the question above, what is the mode?
  7. 7th July 2026A cumulative frequency graph for 80 data values is used to estimate the median. At what cumulative frequency value do you read across to the curve?
  8. 8th July 2026A choropleth map uses class intervals of 0-10, 10-30, 30-40 and 40-90. Why might this be misleading?
  9. 9th July 2026What percentage of data lies below the 40th percentile?
  10. 10th July 2026Which spreadsheet formula would you use to find how many values are in the range C1 to C50?
  11. 11th July 2026A researcher decides her sample size was too small after seeing her results. Which stage of the cycle does this belong to?
  12. 12th July 2026A question asks: 'Don't you agree that the new bus timetable is an improvement?' State what is wrong with this question.
  13. 13th July 2026For the ordered data 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, find the lower quartile (Q1) and upper quartile (Q3).
  14. 14th July 2026A pictogram shows 5 full symbols for apples sold, with a key of 1 symbol = 12 apples. How many apples were sold?
  15. 15th July 2026Using the two-coin sample space, find P(exactly one head).
  16. 16th July 2026A frequency polygon has classes of unequal width: 0-10 and 10-30. Explain why comparing the heights of the two plotted points directly can be misleading.
  17. 17th July 2026Explain why using a time series trend to estimate a value many years into the future is less reliable than estimating one year ahead.
  18. 18th July 2026Using your answers to the previous question, find the relative risk for phone users compared with non-users, and interpret it.
  19. 19th July 2026A pack of 10 cards is numbered 1 to 10. One card is drawn and not replaced; it is even. A second card is then drawn. Find P(second card is even given the first card was even).
  20. 20th July 2026A pie chart is drawn showing 3 sectors that look visually equal in size, but the data is 50%, 30% and 20%. What is wrong?
  21. 21st July 2026A class interval 0-10 has frequency 6. Find frequency x midpoint.
  22. 22nd July 2026What is wrong with the question 'How old are you and do you smoke?'
  23. 23rd July 2026What does a moving average smooth out in seasonal data, and what does the result reveal?
  24. 24th July 2026P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.35, where A and B are mutually exclusive. Find P(A or B).
  25. 25th July 2026A histogram has unequal class widths. Explain why the height of a bar can no longer be read directly as the frequency.
  26. 26th July 2026A box plot for 40 values has lower quartile 15 and upper quartile 25. Roughly how many of the 40 values lie between 15 and 25?
  27. 27th July 2026Explain why the median might be a more appropriate average to use on a data set with an outlier, instead of removing the outlier first.
  28. 28th July 2026A population falls from 8,000 to 7,600. Find the percentage rate of change, stating whether it is an increase or decrease.
  29. 29th July 2026A population of 90 people is split into 3 age groups: 30 aged 18 to 30, 40 aged 31 to 50, and 20 aged 51 or over. A stratified sample of 27 is needed. Find how many from the 51-or-over group should be sampled.
  30. 30th July 2026Using the same table (0:4, 1:10, 2:4, 3:2), find the range.
  31. 31st July 2026Team 1 has median height 165 cm and Team 2 has median height 172 cm. Write one comparison in context.
