Consider The Four Numbers A

This document contains multiple statistics problems involving data distributions, measures of central tendency, and other descriptive statistics concepts. It provides data in tables, graphs, and word problems and asks questions about finding values, ranges, frequencies, and estimates from the data. Specifically, it asks to find values from box and whisker plots and histograms, write median and quartile values, calculate estimates of means and frequencies, and solve word problems involving class intervals and factory box weights.

Consider the four numbers a, b, c, d with a e b e c d, where a, b, c, d The mean of the four numbers is 4. The mode is 3.

3. The median is 3. The range is 6. Find the value of a, of b, of c and of d.

The box and whisker diagram shown below represents the marks received by 32 students.

(a) (b) (c)

Write down the value of the median mark. Write down the value of the upper quartile. Estimate the number of students who received a mark greater than 6.

The cumulative frequency graph below shows the heights of 120 girls in a school.

130 120 110 100 Cumulative frequency 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 150 155 160 165 170 175 180 185 (a) Height in centimetres Using the graph (i) (ii) (b) write down the median; find the interquartile range.

Given that 60 of the girls are taller than a cm, find the value of a.

A set of data is 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 22, 22, 23, 27, 28, 28, 31, 34, 34, 36. The box and whisker plot for this data is shown below.

(a)

Write down the values of A, B, C, D and E.

A = ...... (b)

B = ......

C= ......

D = ......

E = ......

Find the interquartile range.

There are 50 boxes in a factory. Their weights, w kg, are divided into 5 classes, as shown in the following table. Class A B C D E (a) (b) Weight (kg) 9.5 e w 18.5 18.5 e w 27.5 e w 36.5 e w 45.5 e w 27.5 36.5 45.5 54.5 Number of boxes 7 12 13 10 8

Show that the estimated mean weight of the boxes is 32 kg.


(3)

There are x boxes in the factory marked Fragile. They are all in class E. The estimated mean weight of all the other boxes in the factory is 30 kg. Calculate the value of x.
(4)

(c)

An additional y boxes, all with a weight in class D, are delivered to the factory. The total estimated mean weight of all of the boxes in the factory is less than 33 kg. Find the largest possible value of y.
(5) (Total 12 marks)

The histogram below represents the ages of 270 people in a village.

(a)

Use the histogram to complete the table below. Age range 0 e age 20 age 40 age 60 age 20 40 60 80 Frequency 40 Mid-interval value 10

80 age 100
(2)

(b)

Hence, calculate an estimate of the mean age.
