Every sheet in June 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 June 2019A 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.
  2. 2nd June 2019In 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.
  3. 3rd June 2019Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  4. 4th June 2019What is wrong with the question 'Do you not think school lunches are too expensive?'
  5. 5th June 2019What does a moving average smooth out in seasonal data, and what does the result reveal?
  6. 6th June 2019A card is drawn at random from a normal 52-card pack. Find P(drawing a King or a Queen).
  7. 7th June 2019A 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.
  8. 8th June 2019A box plot has lower quartile 10 and upper quartile 22. Find the interquartile range.
  9. 9th June 2019Test scores out of 50 are: 32, 28, 35, 30, 29, 31, 95. Which score cannot be correct, and why?
  10. 10th June 2019The 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.
  11. 11th June 2019The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
  12. 12th June 2019A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  13. 13th June 2019Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  14. 14th June 2019P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  15. 15th June 2019Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  16. 16th June 2019Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  17. 17th June 2019Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  18. 18th June 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).
  19. 19th June 2019Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
