Every sheet in June 2007

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 2007The 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.
  2. 2nd June 2007The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
  3. 3rd June 2007A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  4. 4th June 2007Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  5. 5th June 2007P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  6. 6th June 2007Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  7. 7th June 2007Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  8. 8th June 2007Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  9. 9th June 2007A 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).
  10. 10th June 2007Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
  11. 11th June 2007A 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?
  12. 12th June 2007A set of weekly pocket money amounts, in pounds, is: 5, 6, 5, 500, 7, 6. Identify the likely outlier.
  13. 13th June 2007IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Out of 1000 people, estimate how many have an IQ above 130.
  14. 14th June 2007A PMCC value of r = 0.85 is calculated for two variables. Describe the strength and direction of the correlation.
  15. 15th June 2007Two intervals both have frequency 30: one has width 5 and one has width 15. Explain which interval has the taller histogram bar, and why.
  16. 16th June 2007A data set has Q1 = 15 and Q3 = 45. Calculate both outlier boundaries.
  17. 17th June 2007P(A) = 0.55 and P(B) = 0.4. Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Find P(A or B).
  18. 18th June 2007A table has class intervals with frequency x midpoint totals of 45, 120, 90 and frequencies 5, 8, 6. Find the estimated mean.
  19. 19th June 2007Give one reason why the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' are a poor choice for hours of homework.
  20. 20th June 2007Find the 4-point moving average of 8, 12, 16, 20.
  21. 21st June 2007P(rain) = 0.3 and P(snow) = 0.05 on a given day, and rain and snow are mutually exclusive that day. Find P(rain or snow).
  22. 22nd June 2007A histogram has unequal class widths. Explain why the height of a bar can no longer be read directly as the frequency.
  23. 23rd June 2007Box plot A has a median of 50 and box plot B has a median of 42, for the same type of data. What does this tell you about the two data sets?
  24. 24th June 2007A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, -12, 13. Which value is clearly an error, and why?
  25. 25th June 2007A normal distribution has mean 100 and standard deviation 15. What range contains approximately 95% of the data?
  26. 26th June 2007A PMCC value of r = -0.2 is calculated. Describe the correlation.
  27. 27th June 2007A class interval 10-30 (width 20) has frequency density 3. Find the frequency.
  28. 28th June 2007A cumulative frequency graph for 100 test scores gives Q1 = 40, median = 58, Q3 = 70, minimum = 5, maximum = 98. Determine which of the minimum and maximum should be plotted as individual outliers.
  29. 29th June 2007P(A) = 0.6, P(A or B) = 0.75, and P(A and B) = 0.2. Find P(B).
  30. 30th June 2007The table shows weights, in kg, of 20 parcels: 0-5 (freq 4), 5-10 (freq 10), 10-15 (freq 6). Estimate the mean weight.
