(ii) Lower class boundary
(iii) Class width

(e) Using a scale of 2cm to represent 5 marks on the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 and 1cm to represent 1 student
on the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠, draw a frequency polygon to represent the data in the table above.

(5mrks)

(f) A similar quiz was given to Class B, whose results showed a mean score of 24.1 and a
standard deviation of 3.2. If the standard deviation of Class A is 5.86, use both the mean
and standard deviation to write a brief conclusion comparing the overall performance of
Class A and Class B.
