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

  1. 1st May 2023A class interval 0-10 has frequency 6. Find frequency x midpoint.
  2. 2nd May 2023A survey question offers the response options 'Never, Sometimes, Always'. State one improvement that could be made.
  3. 3rd May 2023Find the 4-point moving average of 12, 16, 20, 10.
  4. 4th May 2023Are 'rolling an even number' and 'rolling a 5' on a normal six-sided dice mutually exclusive?
  5. 5th May 2023A 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?
  6. 6th May 2023A box plot shows minimum 4 and maximum 36, with median 20. State the range of the data.
  7. 7th May 2023A 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.
  8. 8th May 2023A normal distribution has mean 50 and standard deviation 5. What range of values contains approximately 68% of the data?
  9. 9th May 2023For a data set, Sxy = 45 and Sxx = 60. Find the gradient b of the regression line.
  10. 10th May 2023A histogram bar has height (frequency density) 2.5 and covers the interval 0-8. Find the frequency it represents.
  11. 11th May 2023A 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.
  12. 12th May 2023In 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.
  13. 13th May 2023Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.
  14. 14th May 2023What is wrong with the question 'Do you not think school lunches are too expensive?'
  15. 15th May 2023What does a moving average smooth out in seasonal data, and what does the result reveal?
  16. 16th May 2023A card is drawn at random from a normal 52-card pack. Find P(drawing a King or a Queen).
  17. 17th May 2023A 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.
  18. 18th May 2023A box plot has lower quartile 10 and upper quartile 22. Find the interquartile range.
  19. 19th May 2023Test scores out of 50 are: 32, 28, 35, 30, 29, 31, 95. Which score cannot be correct, and why?
  20. 20th May 2023The 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.
  21. 21st May 2023The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
  22. 22nd May 2023A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
  23. 23rd May 2023Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
  24. 24th May 2023P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
  25. 25th May 2023Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
  26. 26th May 2023Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
  27. 27th May 2023Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
  28. 28th May 2023A 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).
  29. 29th May 2023Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
