Statistics Paper 2 [27 marks]

1. [Maximum mark: 7] SPM.2.AHL.TZ0.4


The following table below shows the marks scored by seven students on two
different mathematics tests.

Let L1 be the regression line of x on y. The equation of the line L1 can be written in
the form x = ay + b.

(a) Find the value of a and the value of b. [2]

Let L2 be the regression line of y on x. The lines L1 and L2 pass through the same
point with coordinates (p , q).

(b) Find the value of p and the value of q. [3]

(c) Jennifer was absent for the first test but scored 29 marks on the
second test. Use an appropriate regression equation to estimate
Jennifer’s mark on the first test. [2]
2. [Maximum mark: 7] 21N.2.AHL.TZ0.1
In Lucy’s music academy, eight students took their piano diploma examination
and achieved scores out of 150. For her records, Lucy decided to record the
average number of hours per week each student reported practising in the
weeks prior to their examination. These results are summarized in the table
below.

(a) Find Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, r, for


these data. [2]

(b) The relationship between the variables can be modelled by the


regression equation D = ah + b. Write down the value of a
and the value of b. [1]

(c) One of these eight students was disappointed with her result
and wished she had practised more. Based on the given data,
determine how her score could have been expected to alter had
she practised an extra five hours per week. [2]

(d) Lucy asserts that the number of hours a student practises has a
direct effect on their final diploma result. Comment on the
validity of Lucy’s assertion. [1]

(e) Lucy suspected that each student had not been practising as
much as they reported. In order to compensate for this, Lucy
deducted a fixed number of hours per week from each of
the students’ recorded hours.

State how, if at all, the value of r would be affected. [1]


3. [Maximum mark: 7] 19M.2.AHL.TZ1.H_3
The marks achieved by eight students in a class test are given in the following
list.

(a.i) Find the mean. [1]

(a.ii) Find the standard deviation. [1]

The teacher increases all the marks by 2. Write down the new value for

(b.i) the mean. [1]

(b.ii) the standard deviation. [1]

(c) A ninth student also takes the test.

Explain why the median is unchanged. [3]

4. [Maximum mark: 6] 18M.1.SL.TZ2.S_3


A data set has n items. The sum of the items is 800 and the mean is 20.

(a) Find n. [2]

The standard deviation of this data set is 3. Each value in the set is multiplied by
10.

(b.i) Write down the value of the new mean. [1]

(b.ii) Find the value of the new variance. [3]
