Every sheet in April 2019

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 2019A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  2. 2nd April 2019Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  3. 3rd April 2019P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  4. 4th April 2019Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  5. 5th April 2019Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  6. 6th April 2019Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  7. 7th April 2019A 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).
  8. 8th April 2019Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
  9. 9th April 2019A 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?
  10. 10th April 2019A set of weekly pocket money amounts, in pounds, is: 5, 6, 5, 500, 7, 6. Identify the likely outlier.
  11. 11th April 2019IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Out of 1000 people, estimate how many have an IQ above 130.
  12. 12th April 2019A PMCC value of r = 0.85 is calculated for two variables. Describe the strength and direction of the correlation.
  13. 13th April 2019Two intervals both have frequency 30: one has width 5 and one has width 15. Explain which interval has the taller histogram bar, and why.
  14. 14th April 2019A data set has Q1 = 15 and Q3 = 45. Calculate both outlier boundaries.
  15. 15th April 2019P(A) = 0.55 and P(B) = 0.4. Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Find P(A or B).
  16. 16th April 2019A table has class intervals with frequency x midpoint totals of 45, 120, 90 and frequencies 5, 8, 6. Find the estimated mean.
  17. 17th April 2019Give one reason why the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' are a poor choice for hours of homework.
  18. 18th April 2019Find the 4-point moving average of 8, 12, 16, 20.
  19. 19th April 2019P(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).
  20. 20th April 2019A histogram has unequal class widths. Explain why the height of a bar can no longer be read directly as the frequency.
  21. 21st April 2019Box 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?
  22. 22nd April 2019A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, -12, 13. Which value is clearly an error, and why?
  23. 23rd April 2019A normal distribution has mean 100 and standard deviation 15. What range contains approximately 95% of the data?
  24. 24th April 2019A PMCC value of r = -0.2 is calculated. Describe the correlation.
  25. 25th April 2019A class interval 10-30 (width 20) has frequency density 3. Find the frequency.
  26. 26th April 2019A 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.
  27. 27th April 2019P(A) = 0.6, P(A or B) = 0.75, and P(A and B) = 0.2. Find P(B).
  28. 28th April 2019The table shows weights, in kg, of 20 parcels: 0-5 (freq 4), 5-10 (freq 10), 10-15 (freq 6). Estimate the mean weight.
  29. 29th April 2019Rewrite the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' so that they no longer overlap.
  30. 30th April 2019A series of 4-point moving averages is 45, 48, 52, 55. Describe the trend shown by these values.
