Every sheet in June 2003

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

  1. 1st June 2003A data set has Q1 = 12 and Q3 = 20. Calculate the IQR and the upper outlier boundary.
  2. 2nd June 2003Out of 50 people surveyed, 20 like tea, 25 like coffee, and 10 like both. Find the probability that a randomly chosen person likes tea or coffee.
  3. 3rd June 2003A class interval 0-10 has frequency 6. Find frequency x midpoint.
  4. 4th June 2003A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  5. 5th June 2003Find the 4-point moving average of 12, 16, 20, 10.
  6. 6th June 2003Are 'rolling an even number' and 'rolling a 5' on a normal six-sided dice mutually exclusive?
  7. 7th June 2003A histogram for exam scores has bars of equal width 10 marks, covering 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, with heights 2, 8, 15, 5. How many students took the exam?
  8. 8th June 2003A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  9. 9th June 2003A data set has lower quartile Q1 = 20 and upper quartile Q3 = 32. Using the rule 'outlier if more than 1.5 x IQR beyond Q1 or Q3', find the outlier boundaries.
  10. 10th June 2003A normal distribution has mean 50 and standard deviation 5. What range of values contains approximately 68% of the data?
  11. 11th June 2003For a data set, Sxy = 45 and Sxx = 60. Find the gradient b of the regression line.
  12. 12th June 2003A histogram bar has height (frequency density) 2.5 and covers the interval 0-8. Find the frequency it represents.
  13. 13th June 2003A cumulative frequency table gives Q1 = 18, median = 25, Q3 = 34 for the ages of 60 people at a conference. Calculate the IQR and state the upper outlier boundary.
  14. 14th June 2003In a group of 40 students, 22 play football, 18 play rugby, and P(football or rugby) = 0.85. Find the number of students who play both sports.
  15. 15th June 2003Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  16. 16th June 2003What is wrong with the question 'Do you not think school lunches are too expensive?'
  17. 17th June 2003What does a moving average smooth out in seasonal data, and what does the result reveal?
  18. 18th June 2003A card is drawn at random from a normal 52-card pack. Find P(drawing a King or a Queen).
  19. 19th June 2003A histogram of ages has 5 equal-width bars covering 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 with heights 3, 7, x, 9, 2, and a total of 35 people. Find x.
  20. 20th June 2003A box plot has lower quartile 10 and upper quartile 22. Find the interquartile range.
  21. 21st June 2003Test scores out of 50 are: 32, 28, 35, 30, 29, 31, 95. Which score cannot be correct, and why?
  22. 22nd June 2003The masses of 500 apples are normally distributed with mean 120 g and standard deviation 10 g. Estimate the number of apples with a mass between 110 g and 130 g.
  23. 23rd June 2003The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
  24. 24th June 2003A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  25. 25th June 2003Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  26. 26th June 2003P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  27. 27th June 2003Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  28. 28th June 2003Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  29. 29th June 2003Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  30. 30th June 2003A game has four mutually exclusive outcomes: win, draw, lose, abandoned. P(win) = 0.45, P(draw) = 0.2, P(abandoned) = 0.05. Find P(lose).
