    Month: 09 (March 2024)
    Chapters – 2 , 3 , 5

    These questions have been taken from Jan 2021 , May 2021 and Oct 2021 yearwise papers.
    JAN 2021
    1) The stem and leaf diagram below shows the ages (in years) of the residents in a care home.

    (a) Find the median age of the residents.

    (b) Find the interquartile range (IQR) of the ages of the residents.

    An outlier is defined as a value that is either

    more than 1.5 × (IQR) below the lower quartile or

    more than 1.5 × (IQR) above the upper quartile.

    (c) Determine any outliers in these data. Show clearly any calculations that you use.

    (d) On the grid on page 5, draw a box plot to summarise these data.

    2) A company director wants to introduce a performance-related pay structure for her managers. A random sample of
    15 managers is taken and the annual salary, y in £1000, was recorded for each manager. The director then calculated a
    performance score, x, for each of these managers. The results are shown on the scatter diagram in Figure 1 on the next
    page.

    (a) Describe the correlation between performance score and annual salary.

    The results are also summarised in the following statistics.

    (b) (i) Show that 𝑆𝑥𝑦 = 2006


    (ii) Find 𝑆𝑦𝑦
    (c) Find the product moment correlation coefficient between performance score and annual salary.
    The director believes that there is a linear relationship between performance score and annual salary.
    (d) State, giving a reason, whether or not these data are consistent with the director’s belief.
    (e) Calculate the equation of the regression line of y on x, in the form y = a + bx .
    Give the value of a and the value of b to 3 significant figures.
    (f) Give an interpretation of the value of b.
    (g) Plot your regression line on the scatter diagram in Figure 1.
    The director hears that one of the managers in the sample seems to be underperforming.
    (h) On the scatter diagram, circle the point that best identifies this manager.
    The director decides to use this regression line for the new performance related pay structure.
    (i) Estimate, to 3 significant figures, the new salary of a manager with a performance score of 30

    3) A random sample of 100 carrots is taken from a farm and their lengths, Lcm, recorded. The data are summarised in
    the following table.

    A histogram is drawn to represent these data.


    The bar representing the class 5 ≤ 𝐿 < 8 is 1.5 cm wide and 1 cm high.
    (a) Find the width and height of the bar representing the class 15 ≤ 𝐿 < 20
    (b) Use linear interpolation to estimate the median length of these carrots.
    (c) Estimate
    (i) the mean length of these carrots,
    (ii) the standard deviation of the lengths of these carrots.
    A supermarket will only buy carrots with length between 9 cm and 22 cm.
    (d) Estimate the proportion of carrots from the farm that the supermarket will buy.
    Any carrots that the supermarket does not buy are sold as animal feed.
    The farm makes a profit of 2.2 pence on each carrot sold to the supermarket, a profit of 0.8 pence on each carrot
    longer than 22 cm and a loss of 1.2 pence on each carrot shorter than 9 cm.
    (e) Find an estimate of the mean profit per carrot made by the farm.

    4) Two economics students, Andi and Behrouz, are studying some data relating to unemployment, x %, and increase in
    wages, y %, for a European country. The least squares regression line of y on x has equation
    y = 3.684 − 0.3242x

    (a) Show that 𝑆𝑦𝑦 = 7.524 375


    (b) Find 𝑆𝑥𝑥
    (c) Find the product moment correlation coefficient between x and y.
    Behrouz claims that, assuming the model is valid, the data show that when unemployment is 2% wages increase at
    over 3%
    (d) Explain how Behrouz could have come to this conclusion.
    Andi uses the formula
    range = mean ± 3 × standard deviation
    to estimate the range of values for x.
    (e) Find estimates of the minimum value and the maximum value of x in these data using Andi’s formula.
    (f) Comment, giving a reason, on the reliability of Behrouz’s claim.
    Andi suggests using the regression line with equation y = 3.684 – 0.3242x to estimate unemployment when wages are
    increasing at 2%
    (g) Comment, giving a reason, on Andi’s suggestion.

    5) A large company is analysing how much money it spends on paper in its offices each year. The number of
    employees in the office, x, and the amount spent on paper in a year, p ($ hundreds), in each of 12 randomly selected
    offices were recorded.
    The results are summarised in the following statistics.

    (a) Show that 𝑆𝑥𝑝 = 231.25


    (b) Find the product moment correlation coefficient for these data.
    (c) Find the equation of the regression line of p on x in the form p = a + bx
    (d) Give an interpretation of the gradient of your regression line.
    The director of the company wants to reduce the amount spent on paper each year. He wants each office to aim for a
    4 1
    model of the form p = 5 a + 2 bx, where a and b are the values found in part (c).
    Using the data for the 93 employees from the 12 offices,
    (e) estimate the percentage saving in the amount spent on paper each year by the company using the director’s model.

    6) The stem and leaf diagram shows the ages of the 35 male passengers on a cruise.

    (a) Find the median age of the male passengers.


    (b) Show that the interquartile range (IQR) of these ages is 16
    An outlier is defined as a value that is more than
    1.5 × IQR above the upper quartile
    or
    1.5 × IQR below the lower quartile
    (c) Show that there are 3 outliers amongst these ages.
    (d) On the grid in Figure 1, draw a box plot for the ages of the male passengers on the cruise.
    Figure 1 also shows a box plot for the ages of the female passengers on the cruise.
    (e) Comment on any difference in the distributions of ages of male and female passengers on the cruise.
    State the values of any statistics you have used to support your comment.
    Anja, along with her 2 daughters and a granddaughter, now join the cruise.
    Anja’s granddaughter is younger than both of Anja’s daughters.
    Anja had her 23rd birthday on the day her eldest daughter was born.
    When their 4 ages are included with the other female passengers on the cruise, the box plot does not change.
    (f) State, giving reasons, what you can say about
    (i) the granddaughter’s age
    (ii) Anja’s age.
