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

  1. 1st January 2022The 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 January 2022The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
  3. 3rd January 2022A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  4. 4th January 2022Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  5. 5th January 2022P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  6. 6th January 2022Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  7. 7th January 2022Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  8. 8th January 2022Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  9. 9th January 2022A 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 January 2022Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
  11. 11th January 2022A 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 January 2022A set of weekly pocket money amounts, in pounds, is: 5, 6, 5, 500, 7, 6. Identify the likely outlier.
  13. 13th January 2022IQ 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 January 2022A PMCC value of r = 0.85 is calculated for two variables. Describe the strength and direction of the correlation.
  15. 15th January 2022Two 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 January 2022A data set has Q1 = 15 and Q3 = 45. Calculate both outlier boundaries.
  17. 17th January 2022P(A) = 0.55 and P(B) = 0.4. Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Find P(A or B).
  18. 18th January 2022A table has class intervals with frequency x midpoint totals of 45, 120, 90 and frequencies 5, 8, 6. Find the estimated mean.
  19. 19th January 2022Give one reason why the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' are a poor choice for hours of homework.
  20. 20th January 2022Find the 4-point moving average of 8, 12, 16, 20.
  21. 21st January 2022P(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 January 2022A histogram has unequal class widths. Explain why the height of a bar can no longer be read directly as the frequency.
  23. 23rd January 2022Box 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 January 2022A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, -12, 13. Which value is clearly an error, and why?
  25. 25th January 2022A normal distribution has mean 100 and standard deviation 15. What range contains approximately 95% of the data?
  26. 26th January 2022A PMCC value of r = -0.2 is calculated. Describe the correlation.
  27. 27th January 2022A class interval 10-30 (width 20) has frequency density 3. Find the frequency.
  28. 28th January 2022A 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 January 2022P(A) = 0.6, P(A or B) = 0.75, and P(A and B) = 0.2. Find P(B).
  30. 30th January 2022The table shows weights, in kg, of 20 parcels: 0-5 (freq 4), 5-10 (freq 10), 10-15 (freq 6). Estimate the mean weight.
  31. 31st January 2022Rewrite the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' so that they no longer overlap.
