TOPIC : STATISTICS TIME : 2 HOURS The data in Diagram 1 shows the body masses, in kg, of 40 children in a kindergarten. 16 18 33 25 a) b) 24 20 34 26 34 29 37 27 26 31 35 28 30 30 35 21 40 40 38 23 35 34 39 31 30 36 41 31 26 35 25 38 33 32 25 33

Based on the data in Diagram 1 and using a class interval of 5 kg, complete Table 1 in the answer space. Based on your table in a) i) state the modal class, ii) calculate the mean body mass and give your answer correct to 2 decimal places. For this part of the question, use the graph paper provided. By using a scale of 2 cm to 5 kg on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 2 children on the vertical axis, draw a histogram to represent the above data. Hence, on the same axes, draw a frequency polygon for the data. Midpoint Lower boundary Upper boundary Frequency

The data in Diagram 2 shows the marks for a Mathematics monthly test for 40 pupils. 28 19 35 44 28 a) b) 35 27 39 14 38 22 32 34 22 26 40 32 38 39 22 29 37 45 33 17 30 33 21 31 26 32 35 34 28 24 23 40 30 27 20

Based on the data in Diagram 2 and using a class interval of 5 marks, complete Table 2 in the answer space. For this part of the question, use the graph paper provided. By using a scale of 2 cm to 5 marks on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 5 pupils on the vertical axis, draw an ogive for the data. From the ogive, i) find the upper quartile, ii) hence, explain briefly the meaning of the upper quartile.
