S1 C2 Test

This document contains a test on measures of location and spread with 4 questions. Question 1 provides daily sunshine hour data and asks to find the median and quartiles. Question 2 provides weekly order data for a delivery service and asks to find the median, IQR, mean, standard deviation, and number of weeks above 1 standard deviation from the mean. Question 3 provides test score data for two classes of children and asks to analyze the medians, percentiles, means, and compare distributions. Question 4 provides sales data for door-to-door salesmen and asks to calculate sums, means, standard deviations using a given coding to ultimately find the mean and standard deviation of sales values.

S1 Chapter 2 Measures of Location and Spread Test

1) The daily total sunshine hours in September 2019, was recorded each day in London.
Stephanie took a sample of size 6 whose values are given below.

5.5 6.3 8.2 9.4 5.4 7.3

a) Find the median daily sunshine. [1]

b) Find the lower quartile, the upper quartile and the inter-quartile range of this data. [3]

Give your answers correct to 2 decimal places.

2) A local parcel delivery service sets out the number of orders received each week over a 52 week period.

Number of orders
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
received
Number of weeks 2 3 4 3 10 6 8 5 5 6

a) Find the median and inter-quartile range of this data


[4]

b) Given ∑fx = 1827 and ∑fx2 = 64514, find the mean and standard deviation of this data
[3]

c) For how many weeks were the number of orders received more than one standard deviation
above the mean?

3) The following table shows the marks obtained in a test by a class of children.

Mark (x) 0x<30 30x<40 40x<50 50x<60 60x<80 80x<100


Number of
4 7 6 5 3 2
children

a) Using linear interpolation, calculate:

i) the median

ii) the 87th percentile of this data.


[5]

b) Calculate the mean of this data


[2]

A second class of children took the same test. Their marks were found to have a mean of 52 and a
median of 44.

c) Compare the distributions of the marks of the two classes.


[2]

4) The following data are recorded on the value of the orders (to the nearest pound) obtained by forty
door-to-door salesmen from a particular company.

Sales Value (£) 11-50 51-100 101-200 201-300 301-500 501-1000

Number of salesmen 3 11 17 5 2 2

The mean and standard deviation for these figures are to be calculated using the coding
X  150.5
Y ,
50
where X is the sales value.

a) Find ∑fY and show that ∑fY2 = 400.03


[4]

b) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of Y


[3]

c) Hence find the mean and standard deviation of the sales
